Did you even hear about America’s Apple’s Foxconn factory in China where the factory has nets on the windows to stop the frequent ‘inconvenient’ problem of cheap labor workers attempts of window jump suicides, for example? Co-operative structure (worker-owned) companies have more likelihood to have more human policies to, uh, themselves, than ponzi scheme corporations. Despite a fancy socialist (‘communist’) sounding title of government structure, Russia and China both took International Monetary Fund (IMF) loans, with their conditions of worker rights suffocation policies and market concentration monopolization policies. America’s and China’s feudalist monopolist billionaires have a lot more proximity of ideology than either of their propaganda machines has acknowledged so far.

About illegal U.S. Command operations in the global south: That does not seem surprising with America’s (and Canada’s) CIA illegal covert war operations of multiple homicides (more than hundreds, plausibly more than thousands per year going on for decades now (2026)) of gunning down and of bombing peasants in lands with concentrations of petroleum and gold and silver (e.g. Mexico, Columbia, and very recently Venezuelan parliament, and Nigerian peasant village). Even a brief surface review of a Netflix show like ‘Narcos’ shows viewers America’s CIA actually have been running south american drug cartels themselves, choosing a new dictator of a corporation bigger than many countries, in batches of approximately 2 years, based on levels of fascist servitude of their discursive positions. In the collusive monopolist tv news, they have been describing their actions using smokescreens of the likes of “The War On Drugs!”, “protecting kids from drugs” (instead of actually funding education about drugs for informed healthy use of healthy drugs), and “spreading democracy” using guns and bombs like poison on a toast. Concurrently, their collusive monopolist corporations have been selling cocaine, opioids and benzodiazepines, in collusive monopolist hospitals of the likes of United Health Care Corp, the likes of which have been killing patients for profit by refusing to honor insurance and hospital care contracts, under an extensively documenting surveillance apparatus of their collusive monopolist corporations of the likes of Google, Facebook, Amazon and Palantir.

What do we recommend then? Progressive taxation campaigns, funding education, paying university-level student work of studies, decomposition of monopolies through application of the actual law (e.g. anti-trust law, armed robbery and homicide law, etc.). Like Margaret Thatcher refused to acknowledge, despite their plans of robbery of collective capital (privatization), there are many alternatives!

Or else what? Piketty (2013) argued that inequalities of the sort that such atrocities have emerged from have historically only come back down to normal levels of inequalities in the aftermath of the French Revolution and World Wars I and II.

Who “we”? Not me. You seem to have tried to critique a fascist (‘government’) group of armed robbers, extorters, homiciders and genociders. Your critique would probably have more effect if you stopped supporting legitimacy of use of force of theirs by counting your name as part of that (‘government’ ) organization with the first person plural “we”. THEY are fascists. THEY barely have managed scrounging a flimsy 19% of votes of the 330 000 000 residents of the so-callled U.S.A lands they have been occupying with surveillance, guns and bombs. THEY have addresses in the so-called U.S.A., on stolen indigenous tribal lands etc. THEY have been comitting genocide and have not stopped yet. THEY have real bank accounts with real addresses with specific amounts owing to tens of millions of victims per year so far.

Canada will do a lot about that problem if enough citizens and residents decide to do something enough to make pocketbooks of lawmakers and of lawmaker auction buyers notice liabilities reach their balance sheets, just like about most problems.

That situation has devolved to where some (a concerning proportion of) cars have literally injuriously sight damagingly blinding light output on other road users, and thus in many cases against themselves. Their manufacturers should be fined. Regulations should enforce maximum angle and lumens output (per surface or per volume) concentration limits. Until then, more spontaneous reparations of the offensive devices will continue to have a higher likelihood and frequency of occurence (not to mention risks of injury and death by car collisions) than with basic human-health-integrity-respecting regulations as described in this here paragraph.
