Thank you for calling it what I have been calling it for years. Corptocracy. Capitalism has never been an issue, shit it is just a road... it is the rich people that get to use it and push everyone else off that road as well as not have to abide by those road rules that's the problem.

Thank you for your thoughts

If you have read it, well, I have updated the post and may have more to add
 
IMO, the key to our way out of corporatocracy is not in just naming the problem correctly but in shifting our mind towards solving it
 
This video is sort of what I mean
- except, it is worse: people harping on the problem, are actually heaping dirt into the glass of others
- sucking out the air for people to consider positive solutions
- these are what Mind Gatekeepers are working to effect on people
  Worst of all, people who re-post them are unwittingly weaponized to have the same effect on fellow others
 
In the post, I also mentioned TQM - for a quick way to get everyone on board - since it is a sound & proven methodology
 
Are you familiar with it?

Yes I am, however, to the best of my knowledge, that requires businesses to actually accept these methods and expose themselves to accountability, as they currently control all aspects of this country INCLUDING governance, unless the people wrestle the power back (not going to happen) then this just won't work. It would be much like a child building a whole new structure on how and why it would work and be better if they could stay up till midnight... just to have their parent just say "no" and that conversation is over.

Not trying to be a doomer, but until the ties of money and power are wrestled from these rich people and corps from quite literally OWING our government, there will be no change in governance. I do not see that being possible in a two party system, and the people have been brainwashed by those same elites to think voting a 3rd party would be a wasted vote (like their votes fucking matter), so we would need a change country wide to a weighted voting system which also kills the electoral college. ROFL, they will NEVER happen as that would kill both parties over night because for all their bluster no person actually likes either.

If I am wrong about the above, please explain to me how it is different and might work. I am all for a solution and am being earnest in asking. (maybe I just do not understand TQM well enough?)

I propose using TQM, a well-established tool for correcting supply chain process ineffectiveness & efficiencies, to be used as a fresh set of lens to view the key pillars of modern society: Media, Currency, Economy, Governance. We do not need anyone's permission for that. In fact, I have used CLAUDE (AI) to do just that - see comments in the linked post.
 
The purpose is to pry open people's assumptions on the workings of these pillars - so that everyone will come to realize that:

  • at this stage, the real election we must cast our votes for is between paradigms & systems for us to abide by - not system operators, and
  • the votes can be casted and counted now - not in 2024, certainly not every four years

Anyway, I hope you will see what I mean at the linked post - I expect to be doing further updating & editing in the next few days.

Based on my reply to you above, I made this post to cut to the heart of what I believe is The Matter that everyone needs to address but are distracted from doing so.
