To the Journal editor:

With the new administration, what will change, with the some old establishment still in place with the next administration?

The pandemic continues to bring more inequality and the world’s industrialists and financiers take full advantage of it to accumulate more wealth.

Will it reverse the course of the Trump administration and set things right and do what it needed to fight the COVID-19 pandemic and will it be able to do so, in light of the state of Congress?

Capitalism has a stranglehold on the system as it now stands, and without needed changes little will take place to alleviate the phenomenon of global inequality. It is a situation in which waste not the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos wrought by the pandemic, leaving behind the dregs of the world (the United States included) to struggle in capitalism’s wake, to drown in its wake, without benefit of the life preservers it needs to survive and improve be a viable and vibrant part of society, denied to it.

The inequality, the suffering, cannot be anything but a deliberate act of the polity that has little interest in the life and welfare of society in general, only in what it can exploit and plunder to keep things the way they are, with little improvement in the life of most of the world’s people, who live in a world outside that of the wealthy.

So, what do we have put a world of national security to keep people in their place, through surveillance of their lives in the name of national security, for the benefit of globalism that is in conflict with the welfare of the people in general?

We continue to have a financial system that corrupts our public life and represses humanity! They, the polity, continue to scapegoat, to use others to blame for the ills of the nation and the world, failing to come to the aid of those in need, and first of all life on earth.

This nation needs to set a new course for a better life for all. Too many are left without the means to survive because this polity has failed public in general.
