This shit is pretty fucking obvious and simple. The rich are getting richer at a rate that makes the head spin and yet the very people who are getting crapped on defend the system and vilify the sub-under-working-whatever you want to call us class. Rich people are out for rich people. They do not create jobs unless they can get richer. Right now they are getting richer without creating jobs. Economics is not hard to understand. Everyone wants more. Those who have access to the wealth rig the system in their favor to keep more and keep more out of the hands of everyone else. Unless you are rich--you WILL be screwed.


Got it?


To me the fundamental problem is with 7,000,000,000 of us now inhabiting this planet what are we all going to do for meangingful work? There will always be lazy people you don't want to work. But the majority of humans when asked if they would want the most minimum standards of living for doing nothing or a much better standard of living working, hopefully in a field they are interested in, I'd say 98% would opt for working. But with so many of us, and technology reducing the job opportunities for literally hundreds of millions, if not billions, of us, worldwide how are we supposed to be supporting ourselves now? Right now the most fortunate has accumulated far more than their fair share of the wealth (and don't get me wrong I am all for people becoming wealthy...to a point, which is) that it has started negatively affecting the lives of billions of people. Even the King of Free Market No Regulation Economics, Adam Smith, said there should be regulations in place to prohibit what is now happening from occurring.




How's things going for you and Red my friend? All is good I hope?
