all 3 are a good arguement for why, in a decades time, we will let AI run countries .

they have virtually no understanding of the complexities of the modern economy, the financial system and are clearly out of their depth .

the algorhythm will probably be making decisions for the population within a decade

in fact it probably already is.

it may be safer that way

They and their parties are all creatures of the oligarchs.

Why the right is eating the left’s lunch
Progressives have abandoned the working class and embraced the oligarchs.

The oligarchs tend to back the so-called progressive agenda on issues like climate change, culture and immigration. Yet, unlike the progressives of old, they they have little interest in achieving greater income equality or spreading prosperity more widely, as they have become the primary beneficiaries of an increasingly feudalised economy.

The oligarchic agenda also draws support from a portion of the middle and upper-middle classes – those who either service the oligarchs in law or media, or who benefit from expanding government regulations and programmes. Indeed, under US president Joe Biden, most employment growth is now concentrated in government and in largely state-funded healthcare. Biden has also granted government apparatchiks their largest salary raises in half a century.

On the other side of the ledger sit the working class and the private-sector middle class – including shopkeepers, artisans, small property developers and skilled tradespeople. While larger firms continue to attract big capital investments and can cope with big government, smaller firms are imperilled by monopoly power and stringent regulations.

Smart-arse FRANK is indeed correct.

My take? Biden, Sunak and Albo collectively represent the objectives and interests of those in (GLOBAL) power.

Their political affiliations/badges mean nothing. If anything...they're a distraction. A deflection even.

For those of you who have spent weeks and months and years across this and other forums celebrating the win of Biden and Albo...or even that of Sunak...you've wasted your time.

For those of you who have spent weeks and months THINKING you were making a difference in protesting (online and offline) what's happening in Israel and Palestine...you've wasted your time. Why? Biden, Sunak and Albo...have other ideas/other more important matters to contend with which totally and utterly exclude you and what you think.
