Really? The media elite are failing, the political elite's old tricks aren't working any more, the academic elite are hostage to spoiled children, the scientific elite have been exposed as hucksters, liars and shameless careerists and the business elite have -- in their sheer arrogance -- overstepped to the point where even the supine American public are eager for stepped up antitrust action and increased regulation overall.
If you mean they're all doing well enough financially, fine. The elites were well-heeled on the eve of other great changes before. Unjust enrichment and shameless rent-seeking are part of the reason people are getting fed up.
You keep repeating the same talking points over and over. We have you on record, many times over, now, claiming that the "elites" are failing. Tell me something I don't know. How are these "elites" failing? So dramatically? What evidence do have that any of these "elite" sectors are ready to implode? Share some of the vast reams of your research that you clearly have unearthed, given this alarming forecast of the collapsing "elite."
You're little more than one of those bearded, toga-wearing crazy men on the street corner. "Beware! The elite are failing!" Back your assertions up. And why do you think I even give a shit that you think the elite are "failing?" Are you trying to persuade me that the elites are failing? Do you believe that I don't believe you when you say the elites are failing? Are you trying to start an argument? Do want me to confirm your assessment that the elite are indeed failing?
You also sound like someone's grandfather, after more than few stiff ones, wandering around the living room, "unjust enrichment, shameless rent seeking'' Ok. Show me some solid evidence that ..."the academic elite are hostage to spoiled children, the scientific elite have been exposed as hucksters, liars and shameless careerists and the business elite have -- in their sheer arrogance -- overstepped to the point where even the supine American public are eager for stepped up antitrust action and increased regulation overall...." Show me the evidence. Any evidence. Or else...please...be...quiet.
If you don't like what I have to say then don't respond to my fucking posts. Frankly, of the two of us I'm not the one who sounds like a crazy grandpa. And who is "we"? There is only you acting crotchety and self-important.
Perhaps, but I'm talking about a failed elite, not a failed state. A failed elite provokes political change, and it can be for the better.
Ok. Failed elite. From my chair, they seem to be quite well. Really well.
