Luxon said "We are the reset".

Oddly enough, you're not the only one to have thought of that. Some see pitchforks...

"If we donÔÇÖt do something to fix the glaring inequities in this economy, the pitchforks are going to come for us. No society can sustain this kind of rising inequality. In fact, there is no example in human history where wealth accumulated like this and the pitchforks didnÔÇÖt eventually come out. You show me a highly unequal society, and I will show you a police state. Or an uprising. There are no counterexamples. None. ItÔÇÖs not if, itÔÇÖs when.

The most ironic thing about rising inequality is how completely unnecessary and self-defeating it is. If we do something about it, if we adjust our policies in the way that, say, Franklin D. Roosevelt did during the Great DepressionÔÇöso that we help the 99 percent and preempt the revolutionaries and crazies, the ones with the pitchforksÔÇöthat will be the best thing possible for us rich folks, too. ItÔÇÖs not just that weÔÇÖll escape with our lives; itÔÇÖs that weÔÇÖll most certainly get even richer."
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
