I’m not trying to demand controlled experiments. You asked
and I replied that it would be pure speculation since the market drives these effects with equal or greater force than political action.
But you don’t have to accept my statements on faith. All you have to do is look around you. The planet is being destroyed, our government illegally spies on us, we kill people without due process, we bomb homes that might have a ‘terrorist’ in them, our schools are failing us, politicians have systematically destroyed our protected liberties, and on and on and so-forth. All of this is a result of our voting and our politics. At what point do we say to ourselves ‘this isn’t working anymore. maybe we should try something else.’?
