This is a situation many black people face. When the people around you especially your parents don't have your best interest at heart its a herculean task to break free.

It's like "Crabs in a Bucket"

Radical idea: Redraw the U.S. map as a nation of city-states

Mondragon - proof of concept - not because they did it perfectly or bc they're flawless - they made it work - they're competitive and most of all: it scales beautifully.

They're still flawed humans, like the rest of us.
... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But there is a huge potential, esp. for change in the right direction and a peaceful transition into a different socio-economic society.

I’m sure I’ve seen others here post this article The Pudding about why (absent taxation etc.) the super-rich are inevitable:

I’d also like to throw in the observation that poorer people may end up paying more over time for inferior products — The Vimes’ “Boots” Theory of Socio-Economic Unfairness:

I think the Sam Vimes theory of socio-economic unfairness is one of the greatest pieces of writing of all time.

I quote it to people all the time.

If you saw 'The Watch' tv show earlier in the year... You'll understand how much I 'squeed' when it was included.
