Capital Audiofest Coming Up!

@mapman I appreciate not being alone and being able to discuss this. Desperately looking for little lights in the dark

@grislybutter one thing I will give Donald Trump credit for: he has always been very successful in selling whatever it is he wants people to buy. HE is very good at marketing himself.

Warning: marketing works but is often merely  a bunch of BS.      Take that for what it is worth.

There are really only a few weapons people have to defend themselves financially regardless of political ideology.

Voting is one.

How ever, the way way more effective ones are to become educated to develop valuable skills and then also investing (once that is actually with reach) in order to get at least your small slice of the economic pie that will always be the main course served up by the "oligarchs".

Unless you are simply born rich and entitled. I won’t mention names. It is not a crime!

The (lack of) basic knowledge people have that drive their decisions to vote is astounding.

I think that with the internet these days, there is more information (and dis-information/outright propaganda) out there to sort through. So many use this as a weapon including opponents who seek to "overthrow" us, have no doubt. A lot of people are confused and perhaps are more challenged than ever to find their moral compass. It’s a real problem! The solution is always promoting education as a means to help sort through it all more effectively.  Never accept known lies no matter how appealing they may be!   Those who lie with purpose merely seek to create more confusion as a way of gaining control.  The truth always tends to come out eventually over time, but it is often a struggle to get there.
