Re: Not just Trump out

I agree with most of what you wrote there, but this nugget: "Moderation is key; backed by education" isn't quite right. You can be as educated as you like, but if you start off poor, unregulated free-market economics leads to you staying that way. The key to that moderation is regulation. That doesn't mean a command economy, but it does mean such things as legislation to prevent monopoly abuse, which I believe is not strong enough, because it doesn't do anything to limit predatory capitalism whereby large corporations (your Alphabets, Amazons, et al) have free rein to absorb smaller companies, or straight-up outcompete them by economies of scale. This is good for those predatory organisations, but not for anyone else.
