​@@georgewilder7423I once had this chance to ask Oprah Winfrey a question. My question was simple, since I admired her: "To what do you attribute the good personality that you have?". She thanked me and said that she's merely a good listener. And this is true, because if you have ever watched her show you would notice that she proves that she's a good listener by responding exactly to everything that she hears from others. I think that Nima AlKhorshid is an even better listener than her.

Your govt will never listen . They are politician's .

[@BusinessGamesAI]

The government doesn’t listen to anyone but its financial backers. The state is the extension of the ruling class, and in the West the ruling class is the capitalist one (owners of the means of production, oligarchs, billionaires). The government isn’t stupid; the government just responds to its personal incentives, and the incentives are to protect the interests of large capital.

[@elderbob100]

[@enzoh7763]

​​@@fonzie340 , You are so correct . future leaders ? Very likely never gonna happen , Except for a few .

[@BusinessGamesAI]

I’m going to say something critical: your comment shows that you fundamentally misunderstood the point of “leadership”. State represents the interests of the ruling class, which in the West is capitalist (owners of the means of production; owners of capital). The politicians are an extension of this; they are NOT stupid, they’re very rational and making choices in servitude to Big Capital (not the mom-and-pop boutique operators, but owners of huge multinationals and in particular Big Finance). Because their incentives are aligned with Big Finance, the fundamental problem is NOT that they don’t get something, but in fact that they do. This problem cannot be solved by them “listening to reason”, period. This is NOT a problem of knowledge or rationality (which can be solved with education), it’s a problem of incentives (which cannot).

Michael has studied in depth the financial system of the ancient middle.east. They understood.the problems of interest and inflation. Amnesties or Jubilees were regular, particularly when a new King arose. All debts were forgiven and they started again. (Simplified for space). It 8:52 worked for thousands.of years. The Kings had to keep the aristocrats in check etc. The Roman system was never to forgive debt that's when the problems started.

The current colonial structure is being exposed through their global policies. The institutions such as the media, UN, IMF, ICC, NATO, G7, G20, etc. are also showing their alignment and colonial aligned policies. There are now alternatives for the global countries to turn to for economic and financial partnerships. There are so many countries that have aped the colonial world and are slowly waking up and have understood that they have sold their people and property for paper. In return they have been controlled without any control over the rigged systems that have been given to them. It’s good to see the way the ‘good’ and ‘evil’ label is applied. In the Middle Ages it was Christianity … now it is … do you agree with the US or else.

Nato.....How was the barbaric treatment of the Netherlands in Indonesia during 1947? Perhaps Jens Stoltenberg chief Nato has the answer

[@PhiloSurfer]

This is glaringly illustrated on the world map showing which countries recognize Palestine and which do not. The massive green of the global south (143 countries) recognize Palestine, whilst the G7/NATO/EU mostly do not recognize Palestine. In essence, most of the white ex-colonial masters do not support Palestine, while those colonized and oppressed support Palestine. Only now, we have Spain, Ireland and Norway starting to recognize Palestine.

What seems evident to me is that, in a grotesquely over-populated planet where wealth is being perpetually syphoned upward, the viability of the lower echelons at the bottom of the socio-economic spectrum everywhere will become as "invisible" and inconsequential as Somali goat herders or Amazonian farmers. Billions of human beings everywhere will slip in to anonymous privation.
