What is Capitalism? Legalized Theft.
Capitalism is an economic system centered around not only the private ownership, control, and operation of industrial means of production (the factories, farms, and other manufacturers of food, clothing, and all the products and services we use every day), but also the deliberate redistribution of a vast, overwhelming majority of global wealth into the pockets of those same private owners of the means of production.

US Financial Change Management
Introduction It’s no secret that the entire US budgeting is in serious need of financial change management; though other countries could look at this too. Truth is, I had what I consider to be a very simple and obvious thought, then I did the math on it all; which I hate doing. Anyway, here are my thoughts.

The Price Of Being Black In America: How Wall Street Makes Millions Off Of Police Brutality.
Very little surprises me these days when it comes to anything dealing with racism, white supremacy or white privilege. I’m even less surprised by the ruthlessness that is the American capitalistic economy and what it breeds in some people. But I must admit, when I first heard that Wall Street, big banks and wealthy investors were making hundreds of millions of dollars off of police brutality cases, it not only brought American capitalism to an all time low in my eyes but reminded me that this is really nothing new. The history of this country was built on stealing lands and stealing people to build the “American Dream.” That system has flourished for 401 years. Why should the fact that some white people continue to make money off of the backs and deaths of Black people be any surprise when there is a racist in the oval office?

Compassionate Capitalism
In the United States, we already allow children to borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars in order to pursue a higher education, a college degree. Nobody argues with the idea that this is necessary in order to give them the opportunity to change their lives. And in recompense, these dollars they borrow will never leave their credit report. These dollars are thus spent on that individual, for that individual, in hopes of achieving something that may never come to fruition, and the debt follows them for the rest of their life regardless if they succeed or not. The average graduation rate in four year colleges is 33.3%. So two-thirds of Americans go into college, waste thousands and thousands of dollars they don’t have, and get sent back into the world, no better than they started, and the colleges pocket the money and keep churning out degrees that have less and less value in the real world.
