Please name a couple of members of this group you are describing. I am just the tiniest bit skeptical that I can trust anyone to run the kind of organization you describe here.

Re: The Desirable direction.
Look at the List of Heads of Corporations. These people, like Donald Trump, have demonstrated their capability to rule.

I don't follow. They may have demonstrated capability through the mere fact that they are in power...but this hardly makes them preferable.
I suppose that in the strict sense of definition, they are capable in that they are good at what they do. They have managed to continue to improve the concentration of wealth into the upper echelon. Nobody wants a revolution yet.
Once they take my money, I'll join the masses burning down the mansions. Until then I dont want to rock the boat.

Re: The Desirable direction.
There are only a few instances in all of history where the masses actually burned down the mansions. It is not really much of a risk or threat.
But what you would get in the Progressive Manor Estate society is job security and a stable future.

Really? Now you are talking...what is the likelihood that the people would ever vote such a system in? Who would be against it and who would support it? Any projected guesses?

Re: The Desirable direction.
It seems to me that by adopting a Progressive Manor Estate society as our goal the US could create an orderly stable society where ever unit knows it's place and is valued and replace outmoded inefficient systems such as we use today with ones suited for the 21st Century and flexible enough to change rapidly based on actual hard real time evidence.
Indeed, and by carefully manipulating the value of the money in circulation they could ensure a 3% GDP growth every year, so the economic news would always be rosy, people could be given "cost of living" raises so that their earnings increased every year.
A job would be found for everyone, as there will always be cleanup needed, with anti-litter laws and campaigns managed to preserve the current levels so that job opportunities are provided, especially for the convict class task forces.
Rosy.

I'm not sure inflation is a Republican trick.
But mayor Bill de Blasio is attacked for job training proposals for the homeless.
De Blasio’s Welfare-Reform Reversal: New York’s mayor is undoing a landmark public-policy achievement. | City Journal
(I am having trouble finding the article I am looking for. try various keywords. But don't use "homeless" in the search because it will yield trillions of articles attacking the mayor)
keywords:
city journal new york bill de blasio job training 2015 job david dinkins City Journal | Urban Affairs Magazine | Conservative Magazine Online
Universal job training is a controversial issue, and homeless can't even get any training. It is considered a "waste".

Education is the best way to reduce recidivism of prison inmates, so republicans eliminated prison education programs.

I don't believe that was their line of thought, but eliminating prison education is in line with Republican priorities and thinking.

Re: The Desirable direction.
It is inline with the transformation of Colleges and Universities into Job Training Centers. People should get educated so they can be productive workers.

IIRC the reasoning was "why should they get a benefit, they are in jail to be punished"

And if they are in prison they are already productive workers making license plates and taking mail order over the phone and online. Its a great source for online tech support and they should be doing that any day.
