Greetings good citizen, today's NY Times headlined a story about Russian election meddling using the 'rage' of...[label however you like, there isn't a good word for this.]
Did our intrepid 'hackers' have to dig deep to mine the wounded American psyche? Nope, in fact it seems they barely scratched the surface.
Worse, the stuff they did pull up was just the crap that has occurred since 'Morning in America' and the defacto dismantling of the world's last remaining 'Superpower'.
Full Stop: How pathetic is it that despite all of our 'problems' nobody can say they wish they lived somewhere else because things are 'as bad' [if not worse, relativistically speaking] everywhere else.
[Scandanavia has a certain appeal but it's only an option if you're white and Christian...(from a 'you'll blend right in' point of view) Once the economy becomes 'super-saturated' you're just as skunked as you would be here.]
[Economics 101: NOBODY can live in an 'economic desert'.]
Part of the global crisis is the 'super-saturated' economy, you know the one that is doing terrific (as long as you don't look too closely at the particulars.)
Remember, most of 'what you know' is spoonfed to you by the media. [The 'point' of yesterday's piece.]
Injustice aside [and thinly vieled hatred of the ruling elite] the outrage the hackers 'dredged up' is still fresh in the mind of tens of millions of bewildered workers who did 'all the right things' and still found themselves on society's scrap heap. Being forced repeatedly to 're-invent' themselves so they could try to survive in the viscous FU pay me! environment our government pretty much pretends isn't there.
Did the Russian stirring of that pot change anything?
What do you think? It did manage to get one of the 'lesser oligarchs' elected [and what a fiasco that's turning out to be!]
Once again proving the axiom that money and intelligence are totally unrelated. [If you have a lot of money you aren't necessarily 'smart', amassing a large fortune has always involved a criminal element (such as holding the government hostage for basic necessities.) The world's greatest fortunes can be found in the hands of those who supply 'the crown'.
You have to marvel at why NONE of this stuff is taught in school [but the crown isn't interested in intelligent subjects, it wants OBEDIENT subjects! The 'smart ones' invariably ask too many 'uncomfortable questions' and many of the crown's actions can be made to appear 'self-serving' (mostly because they are.)]
We 'pretend' the crown is no more yet it's continued existence is precisely why we are so 'outraged' over the faux ineffectiveness of our elected government.
Isn't the problem really one of the government not being responsive to those who grant it power?
Yet magically the government declares war and appropriates funds, hires mercs to fight the war then levies taxes to pay for it all without ever asking us in the first place...isn't that what's pissing you off?
And that's just the surface of the 'mis-management' soufflé. Trade policies that have eviscerated the entire US manufacturing sector are just the tip of another huge mismanagement boondoggle.
Did the Russians [Russia is still there, the SOVIETS are defunct...] have to dig deep to dredge up these governmental blunders?
Nope...but nothing changed either.
We would still have been faced with a run-off between a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich.
Here's one for you thinking people! How do you 'maintain' a living wage WITHOUT 'wage/price controls'?
Short answer...you CAN'T!
If you can't control prices then the rapacious quickly remove the 'wiggle room' out of the wage scale.
Why is everybody pissed off? Because retirement has become the New American Dream! Most of us will never 'retire' because of the O.O.C. wage/price situation!
Worse, most of us DREAD retirement! [Which for most of us conjures up images of living in iceboxes and eating pet food; waiting for the next health crisis [usually precipatated by our inability to properly care for ourselves (due to lack of funds)] to end us.
This is what we are handing our kids. A (tiny) puddled filled with people who have more than they'll ever need [accident of birth, not 'smarts' or cleverness.] and a choking, festering cesspit where the rest will scratch out a meager living until fate ends their 'usefulness' to the feckless capitalists.
Now it's 'truth and honesty time...Am I 'exaggerating'?
Only YOU know the answer...I'm not here to tell you what to think, my job is to give you something to think about!
Thanks for playing!
