Greetings good citizen, my 7th grade history teacher was famous for saying 'things are rough all over' [especially when one of his students tried to hand him an excuse in lieu of their assignment.]
We won't delve into the origins of such a banal remark save to rest assured that it's been around since the dawn of time. It's mankind's primary response when presented with evidence that the wheels are coming off civilization.
So we might ask, is today's link just one of many global incidents of inept governance [read governments being lead to slaughter by feckless bankers] or, like the sudden interest in handout programs [primarily to keep the supply chain flowing] has the global race to the bottom finally arrived at it's 'end game'.
Understand, what was 'billed as' the search for excellence was actually the global pursuit of 'market share'. It had NOTHING to do with lower cost and higher quality. In fact, once the markets are 'locked', planned obsolescence will be re-introduced to keep the product 'churning.'
Left to our imagination is just WHO will be able to afford such things. The 'cadre' of producers/owners keeps shrinking [something the 'sell-outs' will regret later because they will be unable to compete/re-enter the marketplace thanks to a lack of leverage and a decimated customer base.]
It's a bad situation about to be compounded by a HUGE surplus population.
There are two ways around this, er, 'problem' [the most ancient of these solutions, running away is no longer possible.] Mr. Lusk would like to sell all who could afford it rides to Mars but regular suicide is quicker and vastly cheaper for all concerned parties.
So number one is to abandon rapacious capitalism and re-order the marketplace into a equitable platform all can participate in or we could use the media to incite bloody violence and reduce the 'surplus population' via genocide.
Which one do you think our current batch of morons are favoring?
You already know I'm 'jaded', I'm betting on door number 2...or number 3 if things start getting out of hand. Didn't I say door three was gone?
This number 3 only came into existence in the last century but it also emboldened the exploiters, the power to wipe out whole cities in a single blinding flash. Door number 3 used to be 'run-away' but now it has become 'duck & cover'!
How stupid are we? Our nuclear arsenal is in the hands of the very people who would use them against us...
Are they simple enough to believe it will save them from 'rope & light pole time?' Probably not...but they think they will 'avenge themselves' by destroying life on this planet.
So what comes to mind now when we repeat 'things are tough all over'?
If your answer is 'better to die on your feet than live on your knees', follow me!
Switching mental gears [something I do often, especially when we find ourselves boxed in by the forces of 'why bother'?] we need to keep in mind that the goal is 'the greater good' FOR our species AND our planet. {Not just to toil away so Moe can be rich, selfish and insufferable...and die without doing ANYTHING about it because we were promised (ironically by Moe's henchmen) that God would deal with Moe after he died.
Dunno about you, matey but I want my 'pound of flesh' in advance! [I want Moe to pay NOW!]
Life shouldn't be 'fantastic' for just those who claim they are 'God's Chosen', life should be pretty good, okay for ALL OF US!
The facts as they stand are 1.) Nobody has a bill of sale signed by God/fake deity. 2.) Mother Nature doesn't have a cash register! [ALL resources are FREE to the 'owner', they don't pay for them so there's no need to pay them for them!]
The two founding premises of capitalism are both faulty...what does it tell you that capitalism was originally instituted at the tip of a spear? [and remains in place at the barrel of a gun.]
Simply put, good citizen, comply or die.
How do we 'maximize' the quality of life for as many people as possible? It all starts wit the human anti-exploitation law, which outlaws the employer/employee contract.
[Nobody but YOU can be paid for YOUR LABOR!]
Who 'buys your labor? Society.
Who pays you for your labor? Society.
Where do you obtain what you need to live a full life? From 'the store' [you can get EVERYTHING there] What you can't get in person you can get online...if you have the money. What happens to your money after you spend it? It's ERASED! NOBODY GETS IT! ['Society/commerce' doesn't need it and once it's 'spent' it is removed from circulation.]
MONEY IS A TOOL! [Not the be all, end all!]
BUT NO, none of you want your 'freedom' [to keep making somebody else rich] taken away from you cuz someday it's gonna be YOU that is the 'Big Boss'! [Dream on, you can barely spell Big Boss much less become one!]
Let me conclude with the 'holy trinity'; without EQUALITY there can be no JUSTICE and without JUSTICE there can be no PEACE...ironically this 'trinity has a forth stanza, without PEACE there can be no PROSPERITY! {Are you paying attention pudding head?}
Thanks once again for letting me inside your head,
