Globalisation, AI, nothing changes. Capitalism reigns
Unfortunately, the area where governments have been least effective is the one where they are now most needed. The area where they have failed time and time again – regulation.
Under globalisation they have let Australia and Australians down. While governments have been snuggling up to their capitalist masters, untaxed profits have been rising and disappearing overseas. Services have been becoming more and more substandard due to a lack of funding and little or no regulation.
The few regulators left are ineffectual and constantly under threat from the media and government. Puppets of governments are reliant on capitalist funding to get re-elected, playing the nothing to see here game.
The nightly news is full of Trump, Ukraine, Gaza etc nothing to fix here. Well, there is!
