$10 to have women, $20 may change too......

Gutfeld was being snarky last night, but actually raised an interesting point, is it even appropriate to 'honor' Harriet Tubman by putting her image on filthy lucre, the invocation  of  capitalism that was used to delineate the value of slaves as chattel ?

Why does everything have to be all or nothing.

The only thing I hate about this, and I hope they do revise this change by removing Jackson completely, is that she will be on the same bill. But, the irony is while she was oppressed back then, Jackson will be now relegated to the back of the bus this time.(back of the bill) I'd like him completely gone off of it.

Oh and I really hate the misuse of the word "capitalism". That is NOT  form of government. 

Now humans barter, that has always been our way of socializing for exchange, before coins and paper money humans exchanged pelts and food as money. I don't see bartering ever going away ever. But yes, bartering humans as slaves is a blight on our species and we should never forget how we have hurt humanity doing that.

Having said that. You will not on a planet of 7 billion end private business ownership. There is not one nation friend or foe that does not invest in the global market. China allows western businesses and keeps it's Authoritarian "capitalism" to maintain it's one party state by selling cheap goods based on cheap labor. The Saudi Royal Family owns oil companies and invests in banks and weapons. Gadaffi was a billionaire who owned stock in GE. Even the Un family and Castro family have global investments.

NOW, what more humans CAN do is speak louder against abuse of wealth. We can raise our voices every day long term and point out that there is NO GOOD REASON 62 uber billionaires should have control over the same wealth as 3.5 billion humans. That we can and SHOULD do. But it is a bullshit utopia that 7 billion humans will all suddenly give up on the idea of private business ownership.
