@berniesanders, I would be most interested to read your stance on ALL issues. You may well have written many of your ideas before now - some may have been missed by many people and some of your ideas may have changed through the implementation of new protocols as imposed by Steemit Inc.
Your influence is not only a resonating force, but it is an important and powerful force.
Your full range of ideas would be most welcome by someone like me who does actually analyse what is going on and can see the potential impacts for good, bad and indifferent. I am by no means alone in this.
As ever, I offer up my research to anyone interested in what it reveals.
At present, I would suggest that the balances of steem in trading accounts - Poloniex and Bittrex being the stand-outs - are of concern. Poloniex represents over 10% of all the value of steem/SP at present. The recent surge from 15/16 cents to 20+ cents seemed to coincide very sweetly with the 1.2million of steem which looks like a steemit account sale.
There are people in steemia who are not stupid!
A Brighter future seems to be eluding everyone via intransigence.
I do hope that you see fit to express your true sentiments.
Collaboration is the way forward.
