STOP PLAYING AROUND STOOPID – WE NEED TO CHANGE THE WHOLE SYSTEM

STOP PLAYING AROUND STOOPID – WE NEED TO CHANGE THE WHOLE SYSTEM Things have to change

I'd like to write a daily blog. I feel strongly about the way the world is going and I'd like to write about ways it could and should change.

Clinton once famously said: it's the economy stoopid, but I'd say: it's the system stoopid. We have to change the system. Communist and socialist economic systems didn't work while capitalism keeps reineventing itself. People talk about compassionate capitalism and I think well, maybe...but I think we should begin to think about a completely new economic system which creates a world where everyone is included but takes into account the current global world of advanced communication in which we all live.
