Wake up!
We must clarify our VALUES concerning ownership, jobs and wealth. The Industrial Revolution gradually automated many menial jobs. AI will many take middle management and knowledge jobs. Thus we encourage wealth for a few over care for each other. That way leads to poverty, riot and revolt.

Not Stupid on ABC TV. It’s a welcome program looking at equality issues in Australia.

Government : key tasks
The purpose of Government is to increase social cohesion and support citizens.
Poverty and disadvantage are signs that a government is failing its key task.
A government which encourages inequality divides society leading to crime, riot and the breakdown of society.

In winter’s grasp, a lone tree stands, Silent witness to life's frozen lands. A blanket of dreams in tranquil glow, Memories drift in the gentle flow.
