I agree with Thom that when Trump is finished, his cult will dissipate. If there is a positive side of the Trump phenomenon, it is that we now see the cracks in our system. Trump found them and used them. I believe that Biden will win and that neo liberalism is finished. But where do we go from here? Do we keep riding the ups and downs in this political-economic system that keeps pumping the wealth from the mudsill class to the top? It's time for more than a New Deal within the old system. Binary politics isn't sufficient to meet the needs of this population on the verge of climate calamity.

Is it not curious that no university has a course studying the causes of economic inequality?
