Google says it's origins can be traced back that far. OP probably just counted that. What we call capitalism really started kinda alongside the industrial revolution late 17-1800s.

Pretty much all of them... But how about citizens united just to throw out a big one?
Gotta get people into a position where they can make that change happen. Right now the Dems block such people from getting to such positions. Gotta replace the gate keepers with progressives or we'll never get progressives into position to make changes.
We built a strong community for/with Bernie... While we had a mission and leadership we got things done too, but as soon as the campaign ended and there was no more guidance, the community basically disintegrated... Community needs a plan and a mission...a mutual goal to work towards as a team... Plan the strategy and pass out roles and people will get on board and join the "community"
Has anyone figured out where to get this sweater? There's like a million versions that are ugly af, but I can't find this one! Thanks
First step is making a place everyone can access and start collecting information... Any idea how to do that? I'm afraid I'm mostly tech illiterate
2nd step: we need to map out who actually gets to vote for DNC leadership/membership
We're never going to badger the current DNC corporate shills into working for the people... They'll need to be replaced before we can hope to stop the ratchet effect and start making real change
And that's been the president's role ever since
Mental health clinician... Worked Christmas Eve and Christmas (a lot of extra money), and got no calls so that's nice. I took new years Eve and day off. In general we see a lot of kids leading up to the holidays. Sometimes a lot after too; can be hit or miss I guess. Our busiest times are at the changing of the seasons, spring and fall, when seemingly everyone becomes manic/psychotic.
I agree completely
Pretty sure Congress members get universal single payer healthcare for life
Okay, spoke out of turn... They get insurance like any other gov employee... Their mostly just all on Medicare
CEO of a major company? Sounds like reasonable pay to me... The problem is that most workers are not getting paid what they deserve (assume this is correct pay for a top level CEO and adjust your thinking on what fair pay actually is accordingly) It's not the CEOs (or doctors, lawyers, actors, etc) who are the root problem... It's the kids born with a billion shares of fortune 500 stock who either grow up to be Trump/Elon or just do fuck all their whole life, but still get to rake in 90% of all "profits". The people who inherited owning the whole world, they are the problem. The CEOs are just assholes willing to work for the people born into wealth... They still suck, and they uphold the shit system for their own benefit, but I don't think they are hoarding the wealth, and I think the wealth being hoarded is the ultimate problem.
