I've tried explaining to so many different people that giving ultimate power to a group of people that were raised in an environment that thinks "greed is good" is fucking dumb.

Maybe I just don't explain myself very well.

And yet thats the system we live in, giving a handful of boomer politicians the reigns while we beg for rights and basic amenities to live.

I think the point is that giving them full economic power would not make the situation better and once the politicians are solved, we wouldn't need the economic change anyways.
