Recently, with advancing age, I have become softer on half-measures that seem to offer some actual real-world possibility of "progress,” as I would view it. One is a program of government (public) ownership of a controlling percentage of stock of major corporations
in basic industries.

<div class="">That is not a panacea, of course, & I expect to receive within minutes a torrent of denunciation along the lines of “That’s stupid & crazy! It won’t work! It can’t be done! It would have all kinds of unanticipated horrible consequences!” etc.,
etc. And those would be the most rational ones amid the obscene insults & accusations.</div>

<div class="">I once heard that the French government owns (or owned) a sizable chunk of Renault. Have no idea whether this is true, & whether it exempted the Renault workers from the uprisings of 1968 & 2018. Can someone enlighten me/us on this? </div>

<div class="">Or shall we stick with our usual “Who do we traduce & BLAME?” & the standard sneer-jeer-smear routine?</div>
