What we need is a "21st Century Full Employment Act for Peace and Prosperity" which would make it a mandatory requirement that the president and Congress attain and maintain full employment.

The Hollywood scene

Since Weinstein stopped producing movies it seems the quality of movies regarding any social content has severely deteriorated.



Hollywood has had a very weird culture for years yet no one ever took to prosecuting any of the other culprits.


I’m wondering if censorship isn’t behind the attacks on Weinstein?


This is not to suggest anything Weinstein may have done is okay.


But what is with all this crap coming out of Hollywood? Are there no screenwriters capable of depicting how rotten this system is? Or, is Hollywood involved in a massive campaign to divert people’s attention from their real problems?
