It will take 10 competition points from this class to compensate for losses caused by HIS foolishness.

Wait! There’s More!

•A trade war has taken more points away!

•Our society has just lost another 10 points.

Wait! There’s Even More!•Everyone gets basic health insurance.

•This will cost another 30 points.

Debt Takes its Toll!!!

• Another 35 because classes before you have borrowed from your total points.

• To make it budget neutral, all groups would have less than zero competition points which means taking points away from earned grades.

• But the Class God is benevolent

What the Point War Is All About• Did this class break the pattern of self-interest over public interest?

• What is the role of discourse?

How Change Happens• People have to work with people in power

• Only way to get change is for the powerful to want the change to happen enough to let it happen • Mandela needed the ruling National Party• Islamic Fundamentalists in Iran received support of the Iranian Middle Class
