develop a positive vision of the future!

after the “great Trump induced divide” the USA need to reform it’s system, but does it need a revolution?

the problem with revolutions often is:

1. what is for sure: people are angry for a reason (vote does not feel counted, reps in Washington “too far away” = lost connection to the problems of Jill & Joe, many small business had to close down & loads of lives and jobs lost)
   1. the anger at the current system is for real and it “the negative” to stay
2. what about the positive? what shall be after the revolution? (the far harder question)
   1. define what shall be, before removal of status quo, the “anything is better than that” approach is Hitler-kind-of-dangerous (power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely) there is good reason to divide sate powers into:
      1. legislative (laws) (the gov)
      2. judiciary (judges)
      3. executive (police & military, no, not the president and “executive orders” (this is somewhat defined different in the US and EU))

this gov-by-finance system is broken & unsustainable, anyone agrees on that, how to fix it?

some suggestions: (imho small but very important changes that can have great effect)

• how to fight corruption: with great power comes great responsibility
  • thus: MAXIMUM transparency for the powerful
  • 
    • people have to know what politicians are doing
    • every single dollar they or their family earns need to be transparent to the public
  • privacy for the weak:
    • let’s say that 99% of the population are neither criminals nor terrorists
• how to fight Corona-crisis induced unemployment:
  • state paid jobs!
  • it was done in the US before and it ain’t socialism! it just tries to fix a broken (private ownership zero responsibility) system and help people step back from violence and revolution. all central bankers should agree on that.
  • after the great depression of 1929 massive amounts of people become unemployed (it was not their fault, rather the system’s fault)
    • the state paid group A to dig holes in the morning
    • the state paid group B to fill the holes again in the evening
    • just this time: maybe the US gov can think of more useful jobs
    • “Hoover established the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC) to make emergency loans to businesses in danger of default. At first the RFC lent money only to banks, railroads, and certain agricultural organizations, but the scope of its operations was later expanded, and it proved to be an effective tool for stabilizing business and industry” (source January 22, 1932) (unfortunately the RFC was canceled in 1957, because it was deemed not needed anymore, well guess what, would have been better to keep it in place, more crisis were to come, state-owned European banks for reconstruction created after WW2  LUCKILY STILL EXISTS and they are needed very much to counter all the instabilities of private & reckless banking system, a new RFC would also be essential for financing a desperately needed US “Green New Deal”)
