    IIRC about 2/3rds of americans are living paycheck to paycheck. That is not an economy that is working for the people.

    We need dramatic overhauls that Biden, and especially Trump will never deliver. We need employee ownership of companies for starters.

      I don’t think that’s a starter. I think that’s a grand paradigm shift that while it would no doubt be a great boon would not be easy or quick to implement.

      Universal Healthcare, UBI, climate resolutions, voting reform, SNAP expansion, increases to minimum wage, etc. would be easier, quicker, and compound with the improvements of employee ownership. So I’d call those starters, even if they’re not as effective.

        I wasn’t being literal. There are a million things that need fixed, a few of them you’ve listed and I 100% agree with. The one I named was just one of them.

      Forget whoever is president, there’s a snowballs chance in hell that 99% of the house or Congress would ever let such legislature be heard, never mind actually be voted on.
