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.

Bill Gates... climate change hypocrite

Bill Gates wrote a book about climate change but this billionaire doesn’t view socialism as a solution nor does he view peace and disarmament along with a sane and peaceful foreign policy as part of the solution to climate change just like he doesn’t recommend free public transportation as a primary solution to global warming.


What Bill Gates does suggest is that capitalists should be given the freedom to profit from advancing "solutions"to global warming and climate change but capitalism created the mess we are in in the first place.


Bill Gates suggests as a solution to global warming that we should all stop eating meat.


Another of his hare-brained schemes is that some kind of particles should be spread across the skies to stop the sun's heat from coming through.


One-hundred and fifty years of capitalist industrialization and “development” (read exploitation of labor used to rape, plunder and destroy Mother Earth) in quest of maximum profits for the few... this is what got us to where we are today and the only solution offered by Bill Gates is to continue on this path to oblivion so he and his fellow billionaire Wall Street oligarchs can amass more profits as he lectures us that we must learn to live with a warming earth.


There is a better way forward that doesn’t fit with the ideas advanced by Bill Gates...


And it is called socialism.
