Ironic if Trump turns out to the best president in decades when half the country despises him for being gauche. So much for people’s judgment — not that he isn’t gauche.
True Love
Holding hands,
An elderly couple
Walks slowly through the park.
Like a bee hovering momentarily over flowers,
The couple stops now and then
To share comments about this and that,
Savoring the nectar,
Then moves on to the next attraction,
To the next blossom,
Unhurried, self-contained, free.
All around the couple,
Singles clutch their cell phones,
Ever impatient to be elsewhere.

Popping the Bubble
The new financial bubble is government debt. When that bubble bursts, the house of cards will collapse everywhere. It happens when the bond vigilantes demand higher interest rates.
Capitalism
Capitalism is the only economic system that produces any value, in the form of new products and new services and all the employment necessary to produce those products and services.
But you do need some government oversight. Private companies are driven by their financial self-interest, not the public good. A company will sell you arsenic if they can make a profit and think they can get away with it. So that’s where government comes in — a watchdog to make capitalism benign instead of predatory.

Slavery
There may be as many as 40 million slaves in the world today.
Slavery happens when the local economic system cannot absorb the size of the population, i.e., the surplus population is much bigger than the number of salaried jobs. That is true in many locations around the world.
According to the link below, slaves are much cheaper today than there were at the height of American slavery in the 19th century.
