Greetings good citizen, since we don't ask questions (or if we do they are the wrong ones) we seem incapable of getting at the 'crux' of the issue.
Most of you are smart enough to know that economics has something to do with the economy, fewer know about 'money's role' in economics [technically doesn't have one and that's where the fuckaree starts!] and even fewer grasp what the term 'free trade' means.
I will walk through the 'basics' starting with the fact that ALL ECONOMIES are LOCAL! NOBODY can live in an 'economic desert.' The second factor, why trade at all is due to the fact that different resources only exist on specific parts of the planet.
While this raises the issue of just who do these resources 'belong to', our thieving legal system has the name of the 'owner of record' on file.
Probably NOT the time to point out that the resources of the planet belong to us all and their use should be proportioned by consensus rather than fictitious 'markets'.
Now, if we roll back the calendar to the 'bad old days' of Monarchy, kings would often prohibit trade with the nations they were at war with. This was the ultimate 'trade restriction' and as the world grew into larger 'warring camps' your 'allies' were expected to honor your trade bans.
Well, Kings were, er, removed from the political landscape but the trade prohibitions and the animosity created by them remained. Thus the bizarre concept of 'free trade'.
[In the background (where all trouble originates) you had bankers quibbling over the 'differences' between dollars and pounds and guilders along with embargoes fueled by these petty disagreements of which was superior. [This was about 80% ego and 25% hubris...and 110% loco!] Doesn't add up? Perfectly acceptable, I'm using 'bankers math'!
Then the 'dumping' problem started. An exuberance of any resource caused that resource to be over-utilized and the 'surplus' got dumped in competing markets [by the opportunists] at prices the domestic producers couldn't compete with. This is the origin of 'trade war'.
So mostly through continued and ongoing 'financial manipulation', 'trade' has pauperized workers around the world. [Don't you wish Mr. Krugman would say this? Heck, he has a Nobel prize in economics but he seems amazing ignorant of 'reality'.]
Whosoever controls your money, controls YOU! [This too should make the conversion to ASP a no brainer because it uses true 'supply & demand' to set prices and not the (stick 'em up) 'heuristics' modern economists use to justify wildly inflated prices. Oh, and YOUR money has the exact same purchasing power as money anywhere else on the planet.
Your money is for YOU! It doesn't exist to make others 'rich', it exists so you aren't forced to do EVERYTHING yourself!
For reasons unexplained, economists completely ignore the foundation of both commerce and finance. Modern economic theory starts four feet above the ground and builds from there...on/over sand.
If a pig is a pig and a duck is a duck then a buck must be a buck regardless of where it is minted. [The 'cheaper there' doesn't exist because it CAN'T!] Do I get a Nobel prize for pointing out the obvious?
Money was NOT created to 'simplify barter', money was created to facilitate specialization. Without money that army you all cherish [so says the media] wouldn't exist [and would have to support itself and it's leaders by ROBBING YOU!]
Another educational oversight...why have conservatives eliminated the lessons learned from the fall of the Roman Empire from modern curriculum?
Could it be because reality and capitalism don't mix?
Ignorance is very dangerous! What you DON'T know can KILL you.
Worse, let our fellow 'opportunists' make it up as they go along and you will perpetually be holding the, er, 'dirty' end of the stick.
THIS is what GOVERNMENT is supposed to PROTECT YOU FROM! [But you aren't taught that in school because nobody takes civics anymore, it's boring.]
Think we can get our legislators to put 'education' back into the education process? Look at what the NRA did to restricting gun sales?
A 'short-sheeted' bed is only funny once...but yours gets short-sheeted everyday. Somehow the people responsible are beyond tongue lashings and temper tantrums. They need to do the funky chicken about 12 inches above the ground. They have revoked any and all human kindness [as thin as that is] by their feckless disregard for others.
Like a ton of other things, you shouldn't have to do this yourself but the people who get paid to do it have ignored the problem for so long they think its what they are supposed to do!
Been a fox in the hen house since the beginning. This is it's doing. The fact that you keep electing the fox [because the feckless make sure nobody runs against S/he/it. Ever wonder why the cost of running for office is sky high? So only the chosen few can enter the ring.
What does politics have to do with economics?
Rhetorical question good citizen...you already know the answer just as you already know the answer to what does politics have to do with the legal system?
Think it's time to see first hand what the funky chicken looks like preformed a foot off the ground?
Odd little split there, isn't it? Half of you don't have the stomach for it but the other half, like gawkers at an accident scene, are DYING to see it!
Back to economics 101. A 'healthy' society is a balanced society. The gulf between rich and poor shouldn't be to either extreme nor 'inexplicable' because the people will KNOW they are being 'ripped off'.
Most of you remain clueless as to what to do about this. You are essentially paralyzed by your 'fear of the consequences'. NOBODY wants to go to jail, especially over situations that shouldn't exist in the first place!
In this respect the criminals are protected by the very people we expect to hold them accountable. This failure makes them complicit...and THEY KNOW IT!
There are no 'innocents' here, just victims and perps.
So which one are YOU?
Does ANY of the above make sense [in light of the circumstances?]
Again, not 'What to think' but 'something to think about!'
Thanks for letting me inside YOUR head,
