Our economy never served the public. It is by definition in service to the financial system. Our society on the other hand has at times served the public. Forget the economy, embrace society, and the people with a million spacebux will lose all their power over you.

If only I could convince everyone else to do that too...

Fortunately, society is not a biological organism, and we're not brainless cells, so I think we have a chance, if we can just figure out how to keep the machinations of the rich from manipulating us into acting like brainless cells. If we cannot resist the manipulation though, the prognosis for an organism composed of dumb cells with leukemia is not promising.

I wish I were that optimistic. But using your metaphor, the larva have actively been quietly attacking the political and social infrastructure, to make sure that we can't bring the hammer down when fascism rears its ugly head. The solution (as always) is to make the rich not rich somehow, but as long as they are and have been rich, richer than ever, they've pushed programs to criminalize friendship and decimate communities. To turn our hammers into manacles, and turn us against each other.

This isn't a parasite. This is leukemia.

And no definitive proof that four, or six legs are more inherently advantageous.
