Greetings good citizen, the 'migration' of the fortunate few is relatively easy to trace through history...
The Egyptians became the Greeks followed by the Romans followed by the Huns, followed by the Vikings, followed by the Moors...don't know what the connection is between these diverse races? What's the common thread? They ALL went 'exploring' which is polite shorthand for 'conquering/pillaging'.
Doesn't stop there, naturally, the rapacious' latest move has been to 'close the loop' as they circle the globe, consolidating markets as they go with their 'return' to the 'Far East'.
How do they keep mining gold that has long since been carted off to secure vaults?
By control of the value of currency, of course!
Since 1970 money has been whatever they say it was and worth whatever they told you it was worth.
As we can readily see 'luck' has nothing to do with it. Why can a US dollar buy 8 Chinese dollars [in America] yet a Chinese dollar can buy 4 times what an American dollar can buy in terms of purchasing power.
Who thinks we should lynch the banksters?
Rhetorical question, everybody knows.
That said the Chinese worker has excellent reason to fear the end of Chimerica, when the 'dumping ground' closes its doors the pink slips will be right behind them.
The 'Chimericans' will, just like the Americans before them, fail to realize that their Happy Days exist only in the rear view mirror [if they haven't secured a seat for themselves at the 'golden trough'.]
I have in the past shared why the idea of 'charity' galls me. It is because the public spirited acts of the feckless represent both higher wages the workers never saw and lower prices the consumer never enjoyed while building monuments to narcissistic assholes.
Um, so bitter is this reality that the trend has shifted from naming the edifice after the principle who signed off on the, er, 'donation' and instead linking the 'gift' to the 'brand' that reaped the tax benefit of making the donation instead of treating their workers better.
If something is WRONG with capitalism, this is just the outward sign that nothing about 'more for me' is 'as advertised'.
Where is the line between 'business acumen' and civilization ruining self-centeredness?
The capitalist model centers on paying the worker just enough to survive on (and if they can't get by on that then there are the charities they can turn to for 'assistance'.
Who dreamt up this shitshow? [The More for Me crowd!]
What do you suppose is going to happen when Trump's tariffs combine with the feckless idea of carbon taxation?
The worker exists on a slender budget that is shrinking all the time.
So much so that when 'it' happens ['it' being nuclear devastation] there will be zero warning, either you are 'prepared' or you're not.
The consolation prize is the 'lucky ones' won't have to deal with the predator/scavengers that emerge from the wreckage...an environment where radiation poisoning won't be the only choice on a menu of death humanity is ill prepared to deal with.
I'm digressing mightily but it's because our situation is dire and increasingly it is becoming obvious that the 'final solution' will be the predators 'go to' solution.
This weekend's edition of 'Last Week Tonight' aired a hilarious bit by Bill Nye the Science guy, who took full advantage of the 'freedom' cable grants performers.
In the segment he, er, promoted the idea of using the blunt axe of a carbon tax to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Think about that one for a minute. The largest segment of the population doesn't work at all, followed by the ones who are wage slaves, putting it kindly. So taxing carbon we use to get to the jobs that don't pay us enough to live on, or to heat the leaky hovels we are saddled with or to cook the occasional meal, such as that whole scenario has become is a moronic idea...and even Bill knows it.
The question nobody seems to acknowledge is how far can you be pushed?
The terrifying answer is not much farther.
Huge numbers suffer from 'food insecurity' and a disturbingly large number have no place to hang their hat, compounding the 'what am I going to eat?' situation...
The 'blinding white light' will be mercy for the multitudes of the exploited, which leaves YOU where?
A lot of you aren't going to take kindly to your new home at the bottom of the totem pole.
That's the only factor halting their finger from pushing the button, the shitshow that comes after...
See, not 'what to think' but something to think about! I know you don't plan on surviving [even if that means stripping naked and going for a long walk in the fallout (which I don't recommend because death by radiation poisoning is truly hideous.)]
The time to ACT is now...while there is still something left to save because you are correct, it will soon be too late.
Not what to think but something to think about...while you still can.
Until next time, Head.

How pathetic is it you still aren't convinced they are criminals?
