Economics 101

Greetings good citizen, once upon a time I was quite fond of providing these little 'primers' for your consideration. Sadly, upon reflection, such pieces are so tedious they are a waste of time...BUT because NONE OF YOU were taught 'how the world (really) works' they are necessary.

MOST of the crap you are, er, 'tricked' into buying you DON'T need and the stuff you must have is, amazingly, considered 'irrelevant' by today's idiot commercial interests.

Probably starting a little too far back for most of you but, like pretty much everything else if you don't start at the beginning, too much bullshit fills in the blanks and, inexplicably, nobody can explain where the BS came from.

Thanks to a sex obsessed media we all think we're here to 'boink our brains out' [funny in itself because it ASSUMES half of you have any brains at all!] but NO, mission number one for every living organism is FOOD! Without food the rest is elementary!

You don't get up in the morning looking for something to screw, you get up each day looking for something to EAT!

This is SO OBVIOUS that it is assumed you can figure it out for yourself...but NO!

In your defense, humans are easily 'distracted' and, more disturbingly, to a moron, an idiot is a genius...so it is we believe incredibly stupid stuff!

Worse, stick that idiot in a suit and put it on TV and suddenly everybody is accepting whatever comes out of their mouth as gospel...after all, the media CAN'T lie to us! Uncle Sam would throw them in jail or God would strike them dead with lightening, right before your astonished eyes or something...

No mystery/revelation good citizen...the further things go off the rails, the deeper we sink into STUPID

[Sidebar/disclosure]

Today's post is the result of watching MSNBC last night, where 'infotainment's' topic was 'FOOD STAMP FRAUD'.

The same crowd responsible for hoodwinking people into thinking MONEY was life's 'primary objective' nurture this 'fantasy' so people will not focus on their predations.

People who pedal the MONEY IS ALL MYTH are ROBBING YOU!

But again I belabor the obvious. So why am I telling you this?

You already know but DO YOU?

IF YOU DID the world wouldn't be like it is...would it?

Got ya!

So I'm watching the show and the 'rational guy' is explaining the conservative 'straw-man argument' that Food Stamps are a 'waste'. He even pointed the gun at the long dead St. Ronnie [Reagan, for those of you too young to catch the reference] and his nebulous claims about 'strapping young bucks' using food stamps to dine on 'choice cuts of beef' back in the days when food stamps literally said on their face SPECIFICALLY what they could be used to purchase.

I know, been there, done that. If you've never seen a food stamp then you wouldn't know!

But we circle back to the idiot in a suit on TV...and God didn't strike them dead NOR DID THE FCC yank their license! for LYING TO THE PUBLIC WHOSE INTERESTS THEY ARE SPECIFICALLY *LIABLE TO PROTECT! (*liable as in legally culpable.)

Again, 'advertisers' get what they want, you can go twist in the wind!

What's the difference between lying and advertising? Well, you PAY to advertise!

How ironic we could literally interpret advertising as lying with money...a lie in itself! [Thanks to ADVERTISING!]

A circle within a square forming another circle! How about that...stupid.

The media tells us the public spent a trillion dollars on the holidays...a number that is undoubtedly worldwide and includes ALL 'faiths'...and is probably as 'credible' as any one of them...

I'll stop beating around the bush but I think your steady diet of BS prevents you from comprehending what I'm teaching.

Food is the 'edge of the spear' it trumps all others, potable water is second (atmosphere is a given but only because they haven't screwed it up enough to charge you for what is now free...although they're working on it!)

Shelter is third, important enough to make you pay for, just as you do with food and water. It won't be long before we forget that water USED TO BE 'free'...in fact it won't be long before we forget what 'free' is, so rabid has capitalism become.

Reality check, food either IS or it ISN'T. You live in a world where the ASSUMPTION is there's enough for everybody (that can afford to pay for it, if you can't, you got trouble...and we can only wonder why?)

What's WRONG with you? [Isn't the typical conservative dogma? If your job doesn't pay you enough to live on then the problem isn't cheapskate capitalists, it's YOU!]

Well, time to have a discussion with the man in the mirror because YOU have been fed a line of crap all your life and even your parents weren't SMART ENOUGH to fill you in because NOBODY told them they were being lied to!

They might have suspected things didn't 'add up' but they were [and remained to the end] clueless as to what to do about it.

YOU on the other hand, are being provided a choice. Yes good citizen, you get to choose whether or not to let the criminals rob you and yours of everything they have coming to them or putting a stop to the nonsense.

A Simple Plan is your ticket to FREEDOM. It ends the exploitative Employer/employee relationship and promotes those who know over those who will do anything simply because they can...

Tired of being played (by morons)? You can have your life back if you're willing to accept responsibility for it.

Do your part and you will be rewarded with EVERYTHING you need, hell, we'll even give you something worth watching on TV! Something that ain't going to happen so long as programing is restricted to glorifying capitalism and it's attendant Police State. [No irony should be lost on the fact that 'reality TV is dedicated to non-existent 'rugged individualism', yet more conservative tripe!]

Medical care for those who can afford it [and only those who can afford it] is NUTS but that's not how the media tells it.

Now they're going to start beating that familiar old drum, 'food stamps are a waste'. Willy Jeff pretty much 'ended' welfare [public assistance is a shade of what it used to be but capitalism makes a mess out of everything.
.
Capitalism and charity are and always will be at odds with one another. Under a rational society neither one would be 'necessary'.

Yet capitalists regularly turn charity into a 'for profit' venture. Instead of doing the 'right thing for the right reason, charities are set up to be employment programs for otherwise useless family members.

Ever check out the balance sheet of the 'typical charity'?

If you KNEW what they were up to your head would explode...in this respect, ignorance truly is bliss!

Um, not as 'succinct' as I'd like but I believe to say it any plainer would insult your intelligence.

Let's wrap it up, tomorrow we have the look at the year that was so you need to be on your toes!

Get some rest and thank you once again for letting me inside your head,

Gegner
