Folks we don't have a democracy. We`re a society run by oligarchs. Just stop deluding yourselves. All this talk about human rights, democracy, rule of law, doing the right thing is just window dressing. Thank god for Trump to expose the real system of governance. The next four years will truly show what a fake society we live in.

We are constantly complaining how the Chinese are taking advantage of us blah blah blah. The bottomline is that they plan for the long term and stick to it. We DON`T!. We are concern about the next quarter, the next election. Of course they exploit this fatal flaw in our society. Can't blame the Chinese. It is OUR fault.

We really need to change how we plan for the future and change the performance metrics of our elected officials. All cabinet ministers need to have annual performance reviews with hard quantitative and qualitative measures. You fail, you're out along with your bonus. Rwanda has instituted the Singapore performance system. It`s working great.
