During my time off, I have been spending time on the social media platform, BLUESKY... It is mainly populated by Liberals who are kids in their 20's and 30's who have no better integrity than to insult and use profanity towards anyone who does not agree with them.
They are convinced that Trump and Musk are fascists and are going to turn the USA into something resembling Hitler's Germany with the ultimate goal of destroying Democracy and turning the country into a dictatorship, controlled by Trump.
But aside from that fantasy, I talked with an older gentleman today who had convinced himself that all western governments were profit making businesses with stockholders and that all the companies worked for the government.
There were Democratic Socialists who did not want to destroy capitalism or the companies participating in capitalism, they just wanted to control businesses through regulations that prevented them from doing things that the government did not want to them do, like relocating overseas, sending work to foreign countries for cheaper wage rates, or paying their employees less that the government wanted them to pay.
Unfortunately, they did not think this would be ownership of capitalism, even though they government would not let anyone file for bankruptcy, report to a board of directors, or pay their shareholders a dividend unless it was approved by the government.
This is the generation that will soon be in control of the USA...
