Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".
Wikipedia has a good article.
60 million died in India by just famine.

Scholars tend to blame British policies.
Most believe there was enough food.
But, that inequality, lack of infrastructure, rents & British companies grabbing resources are to blame.
Hello Bill,
It is nearly impossible for him to win the nomination now. He would have to not only win the remaining primaries, he would have to take 2/3 of the remaining delegates.
So really, the only reason for him to continue is to keep sharing his message. That's just pointless. Everybody has heard it and made up their mind. The sooner the entire Democratic Party is united behind a single candidate the stronger that campaign will be.
That's why Bernie should take a huge bow, get a thundering extended applause, and make a graceful exit with a full endorsement. If he wants to claim he is a Democrat it is time for him to start acting like one. There comes a time when the party has to be united.

"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

"Motorists queued for up to five hours to access emergency provisions at a food bank near Pittsburgh as the economic impact of the coronavirus continues."

Hello a777pilot,
That actually makes sense. The economy was doing well. People felt secure to buy nice things. Much of it on credit.
There is always a segment of the workforce that is cash-poor, but they have nice houses, nice cars on credit. As long as they make all the payments everything is fine. This is free America. They are free to live any way they like. Typically, people who are cash-broke carry a balance on their credit card, make car payments, rent payments, other payments, who knows? Student loan, furniture, toys. Alimony. The reasons are as varied as personalities. As long as they make all the payments, their credit is good.
Wisdom says always save and keep a rainy day fund of enough cash to last 6 months with no income. Excellent goal, but few can do it. Tougher for young adults, especially with a family. Everybody knows middle America builds wealth by owning property. Some take on too much house for their budget, or they stretch it too thin. It's tough to be 'house-broke,' everything goes into the house with little discretionary.
Some are hit by unexpected circumstances. A sudden divorce, illness, child in trouble, big repair bill, helping a friend or relative, all can wipe out extra cash.
Take an income away and half of America will be seeking out food lines pretty quickly. And yes, I have no doubt you would see some nice cars in line. There could be restaurant managers, small business owners, retail managers, a concession owner from a stadium, airline pilots...
