A fundamental problem with US society is that we use the terms “home “ and “house “ interchangeably. A house is a structure commonly used for protection from the elements and giving its occupants a measure of privacy. You can buy and sell them or have rental arrangements. A home is where you live. The most valuable quality or part of a home is the sense of comfort the house can provide and the relationships between the other inhabitants. The mistake many make is trying to buy the qualities of a home by buying a house. The house can sometimes be an investment,but only if you sell or rent it to someone. In search of the pleasant qualities of a home,which we always want in abundance, we make the mistake of buying a house in abundance. That’s the trap that has people paying a mortgage up to the age of retirement. The key is to live way below your means and pay your modest HOUSE off ,then, if you find you need a larger HOUSE, you’ll have something to sell to make a down payment. If you can learn to make a home in the smaller house, you will have made a step toward freedom from the ruling class.

You all missed the point by trying to apply large scale top down thinking to the problem, which is the exact thinking that created the problem His point is that as companies become larger, the power structures should gravitate downwards, not upwards - which is the opposite of the model we have now, which creates the disproportional wealth inequalities and corruption and environment destruction ,ad infitum...the minority voice, the vote of 'employees' on all significant company decisions, etc, etc.. it's a structure that can only actively be created by those directly involved as the organisation evolves... Also known as 'concious' evolution 🧬 as in "created by the conscience of all involved - "it evolves out if the 'group conscience' if you like"... Cause we're all programmed in the kind of thinking he's trying to de-program from... it's hard to grasp... But we need to keep trying...we can do better And yes if you were thinking that means no more "CEO's" and the highest position being 'servant' then yes, youre on the right track - he who's decisions affect more and more people better have the attitude of "i am a servant - I am responsible to those i 'serve' because the janitor has as much of a vote whether he's in charge as my CFO , 'shareholders' etc and so on...interesting idea hmm

It sounds like we need to have more standards. Make loans less readily available, governments should make it so that it behooves us to prioritize things that are actually important (like the well being and quality of life for a country’s inhabitants as a whole instead of entertainment and shiny things) and impose those standards and priorities on the residents. We’d be able to ensure an equitable society and more money could be pooled for the quality of life for a whole nation instead of a fortunate few.

This person is VERY bias on his opinion. I feel as a professor he should be there to teach the meaning of these subjects only. From there I would like to form my own opinion. I'm not there for him to influence me nor am I interested in what HE thinks is right or wrong. There's a reason this country has done so well. A person living here has all kinds of opportunity to better themselves. You can do that by taking risk and starting a business or corporation, working hard, hold down multiple jobs, etc the opportunities are limitless. The business owners take all the risk so why shouldn't they make the most money? An employee can just walk away, they get paid an hourly wage regardless how business is doing. If they want to make more money then start their own business. They have the same opportunities as anybody else. In terms of paying employees more. It's call supply and demand. Take a look at how well this has worked out for Ca since the state mandates these businesses pays $20 minimum wage. Look at how many businesses have left Ca. or gone out of business. They are hiring less employees, cutting down on portions, and cutting business hours to save on overhead. Now the working class can't even afford a burger. How did this help the working class.? The whole point I'm trying to make is if you are going to teach a class then teach it without giving us YOUR OWN BIAS OPINION! That's not right!

As an employee, I take a risk on an owner with my time. If the business goes down, I lose work and my income. It’s a symbiotic relationship. He can’t function as a business without me, much less I can’t make money without them. At a certain point compensation should be correlated with contribution. The problem now is CEOs are making 1000% more than their workers. This is a problem

We need to make changes to this system. Where's Robin Hood? What laws need to go away that keep people poor and working for tonights meal? What laws need to be set in place. Surplus labor is valued far more than the labor of the human doing it.. Houses aren't worth the cost when your home is your job. Unfortunately, most jobs are dreadfully repeatative and don't require more than a month to get down.. it's a terrible home. I am going to build my own home out of the earth, with the materials on the property.. 2 years of labor and I have a home.. instead of 30 years of work and l have a glorified shed with rooms even though I've built 100s of them and some entitled A-hole has 12 because of me and my broke friends

Workers Self-managmnet socialism,was tried in Yugoslavia,but couldn't succeed due two factors,Western capital constant presssure and sabotage underneath, although publicly they were in favor of it, Second reason,for any sort of collectivist society ,it's simple doomed to fail,its the egoistic and imperfect human nature, that's the true and no one can't deny it... Soviet Union failed due the similar reasons, Low Productivity of work and corruption,due rhe absence of private entrepreneurship,was simply overwhelming

Communism isn’t the answer. But not allowing people to get ridiculously rich is something that needs to be explored. No one should have that much power, to force continued cooperation instead of an engulfing. Focus points however are unavoidable, and communism is just greater concentration into an even smaller group of people, consequently with smaller scope due to where they’re standing, which results in poor governance and miserable people. So the answer is some decentralization so groups can take care of themselves but with a ceiling to prevent power imbalances. The smaller the groups the more power in the average persons hand, naturally.

When you start a business you are a worker. The interests of small capitalists are very much aligned with the interests of the workers (staving off starvation and exposure to the elements, not destroying your ecosystem). Compare to the interests of a capitalist (Maximizing profit, at any cost, RIP Boeing whistleblower). You see the difference yet?
