The world HP is run by the elite class. Unfortunately they are mostly incompetent Idiots when it comes to running the world. Yes they buy and control politicians. Tell them what to be for and what to be against. But they live in a bubble. I am of the opinion that the robber barons of 100 years ago would eat the lunch of today's version of robber barons, every day of the week. Of course a week is about how far into the future today's robber barons can see.
Have you noticed that inside of both parties real leaders have been far and few between in the last decades ? The elites are afraid of independent populist Politicians. They only know how to deal with them in the most heavy handed ways.
Doc , there a misunderstanding
In Imperial China, each year, the court invited children of commoners to a TEST
Those excelling those TEST, they entered the "Mandarin" court, became the "ELITE" .. and .. ran China
Elitism was not inheritary, had nothing to do how rich one was.
That is why China stayed #1 in the world for 1000s of yrs
Today, same school, same concept rules in Europe, Angela Merkel
Germany, Merkel, let in "one million" syrian refugee, integrated them in German workforce, not bickering China stole German jobs
In America not the "Elite" but the MONEY rules .. politicians, openly, are elected, and serve, MONEY interest.
American Jobs were not stolen by Chinese but by American capital.
Recently, there was an article (I think in NYT), interview with a top corporate CEO .. he said, our allegiance is to the shareholders, and not to America. He said that responsibility is with the politicians (who are chosen by the capital)
- very funny
- worst than "tragedy-Comedy"
