Nothing new from you, Jon; you always choose extreme examples, which is not a healthy way to argue.
What we hope for is balance.
Financially, the US is in an avalanche mode. Only a gov default can stop it.
Between gov, corp, and private...we are talking about 60 trillion dollar debt and 3 trillion in interest that is being added every year to the 60.
In 2024, approximately 1.73 million vehicles were repossessed in the U.S., a 16% increase from the prior year and the highest level since 2009
Don't you love that American prosperity...
Take the plastic away from them and this pyramid will be crashing down in weeks...
Or mutually owned, by members/customers.
You're making a lot of sense, Jonno. Abandon your marxist ways, repent of your sins, and join my Roman Catholic social revolution.
We have similar aims to marxists but God is on our side (so it will be significantly easier for us to achieve our goals).

Who's a Marxist?
marxists but God
The teachings have quite a lot in common, however essentially Christianity is closer to Socialism and Islam.
Who's a Marxist?
The current and the last pope...

I thought you were.
Christianity is closer to Socialism and Islam
Imagine if all socialists, Christians and Muslims all over the world joined their forces against usury, greed and exploitation! The rich would have to spend not insignificant part of their wealth on diapers.
you
No, a Socialist.

Now you're beginning to get it. It isn't an accident that the slogan of the Workers' Movement is "united w est and, divided we fall".

The numbers don't lie - millions of people now work more than one job just to survive. Wages haven't kept up with rising costs, rent keeps climbing, and inflation has made even the basics harder to afford. (...)This isn't just about statistics - it's about real lives, real struggles, and a system that no longer guarantees stability even when you work hard.

slogan
for that. *hmmmm*people in the richest country of the world working two jobs and still struggling financially?
Sadly, the gap between rich and poor is large, and a certain class of people are very good indeed at taking it all for themselves.
They even opposed free compulsory education. It frightened them to think that their servants may one day be able to read and think critically.
... people in the richest country of the world working two jobs and still struggling financially?
It's actually very simple to explain:
1. Migrants competing at the bottom
2. Immigrants competing in the middle
3. Factory jobs gone
4. Gov pensions bankrupting cities and states
5. Automation and AI competing with humans
6. 2 workers supporting 1 retiree
7. People living longer
Did I miss anything?
They even opposed free compulsory education.
Who opposes free education?
Do you support gender studies and how a man can become a woman?
Is this "education" or indoctrination?
They even opposed free compulsory education.
Scandalous.
Let's remember that the Catholic Church was the precursor of free and compulsory education in Europe long before modern nation-states institutionalized it. Many poor children were taught without fees as a charitable duty...
Every cathedral should appoint a teacher to instruct the clerics and the poor gratis (free of charge).
... but even before the Third Lateran council there were parish schools, and let's not forget the Carolingian Reform (7th and 8th century).
Your words only confirm my statement that the rich are enemies of God (not all of them, of course, but overwhelming majority). This seals their fate.
It's actually very simple
Most of these points are true for Poland as well but if a Pole works two jobs, then there's no way he's struggling with basic needs. What happened to America???
Church was the precursor of free and compulsory education
Religious groups were.
Never forget that one of the things that took the wind out of Pope Benedict's sails is that we may be very close (and closer by the day) to the Mystery of Iniquity. RC priests have long been forbidden to speculate openly on any specific ideas they may have about this, however there are worrying trends emerging at the moment.
the Mystery of Iniquity (...) there are worrying trends emerging at the moment
You have my undivided attention. Tell me more.
What happened to America???
All of the above ... listed in 911...caused by one fatal defect in the US Constitution...
The writers forgot to include: All elected positions, one term and out.

You are lying.
The UK and other Euro countries are democracies where people choose those they like.
