    "The elites meeting in Davos benefit from neoliberal capitalism, and they have been able to spread a false that maintains that it is the best possible system for all of us. They have a very strong interest in maintaining the system that gives them wealth, status and power."

      A study of 31 ancient societies found that Greece and Rome were not the first to have democratic governance.

      “Societies that depended heavily on revenue that was controlled or monopolized by leaders — such as mines, long-distance trade routes, slave labor, or war plunder — tended to become more autocratic.”

            It is good that government is looking into the AI connections to the shooting. Sam Altman is meeting with Minister Soloman today, and Premier Eby tomorrow. But if they are only concerned about them notifying authorities when there is concerning behaviour, then they are missing the most important point.

                  We need to be careful of scapegoating when humans are responsible.

                  And we also need to hold those that poisoned the tree to account.

                  We should not penalize a minority for the actions of a group of people that do bad things.

                                        The society borne completely by the shoulders of us nobodies is what they got rich by exploiting and manipulating and milking for all its worth.

                                        Carl Bernstein: "Today's owner of the Washington Post is one of the five richest people. His responsibilities ought to be, above all, to enlarge those journalistic and democratic possibilities: and not, as we have witnessed this past year at Jeff Bezos' Washington Post, to curtail or demean them."

                                        Elizabeth Warren: "Wealthy individuals and large corporations have a fundamental obligation to contribute more to society... the ultra-wealthy have benefited immensely from public investments such as infrastructure, education, and the legal system, and therefore owe the society that enabled their success."
