I post sporadically because most of the time the silence is deafening…and it’s sort of counterproductive to have these conversations with yourself.
So, under the delusion that somebody is paying attention, I will cut to the chase and explain what motivated me to park it in front of the keyboard to give myself yet another thorough mental enema.
Bernie (not the billionaire) keeps reaching out for a campaign contribution and I can’t bring myself to do it because it would amount to pissing into the wind.
Let’s suppose Bernie succeeds in ‘winning’ the White House…what is the ‘veto pen’ going to do against mix bag of certifiable whack-jobs?
Naturally, little things lit this spark in my mind…starting with a conservative ‘ranting’ about how Team USA isn’t # 1 anymore.
By now I’m sure you’ve seen the internet video where this guy ‘pretends’ to be the adult and ‘correct’ a poor High Schooler regarding her ‘mis-conception’ that America is the ‘greatest country in the world’
To be fair, she asked a panel of self-appointed ‘experts’ why they thought brand USA was # 1 and knothead, the sole dissenter’s response was beyond disturbing, bordering on delusional.
This video originally made the rounds pointing a finger at the Boomers as the ‘Worst Generation’…when the truth is our grandparents (the alleged ‘greatest generation’) squandered the opportunity to make an example of people who put their self-interests ahead of those of our species.
I want you to stop for a minute and consider, if you will, ‘reality’.
Bean-blower starts his infantile tirade with kicking ‘liberals’, calling them losers…which is entirely correct. The problem is he doesn’t even touch on WHY Liberals lose.
Simple, because those who control ‘money’ make the rules.
And don’t interpret that literally because Gold has NOTHING to do with money.
It is a fiction the thieves feed.
This brings us full circle with the little known fact that 90% of crime is ‘cash & carry’ yet our moronic ‘leaders’ won’t ban cash!
Again I ask you to step back a little and look at ‘how’ the situation got this way.
Liberals we literally purged from politics by the political ‘sniff-test’. If you weren’t a rabid capitalist you were on your own finance wise.
Once Reagan broke the unions (the PATCO incident should have shut the nation down but no, the poisoning of the working classes mind was already well advanced. The Unions protected screw-ups while too many good people took a sharp stick in the eye and the [bought & paid for] union reps just shrugged, destroying their brand for personal greed.)
Especially with Japan being held up as a shining example of how corporate/worker relations ‘should be.’Of course, this was at the beginning of the ‘Global Race to the Bottom’ and Japan was just a gateway to China.
Now that the race has reached its conclusion, the world’s customer base has been pauperized and it’s workforce minimized, is it any wonder we have a surfeit of billionaires?
So on one ‘side’ of the political equation we have the rabid capitalists, willing to sell out jobs and safety for more tax cuts that will only make the world poorer.
The other side is worse…characterized as ‘tax and spend’ do-gooders…again, more interested in protecting screw-ups than regular people…
Where does this unlikely combination of bad and worse leave us?
With a totally dis-functional government.
I need not remind you that we do not have the tools to fix this, they simply don’t exist.
Are we done? Not by a long shot! Another distressing piece of fecal matter lodged in my mind is the latest liberal hobby horse of our nation leading the world in the number of people incarcerated.
Last night HBO ran a special on this topic and I couldn’t watch it.
WHY do YOU think we have so many people locked up?
Could it be because the whack-job capitalists knew there’d be trouble if they exported worker’s jobs and they needed a proactive solution?
What do you do with the ‘surplus population?’
Apparently our ‘betters’ believe prison is a reasonable answer.
And again I point to rabid self-interest being passed off as being in the public’s interest. (If you aren’t being mugged by all those workers the ‘more for me’ capitalist can’t use then, left handedly, they’re correct.)
There is a better way. It is insane in a world with so many willing hands sitting idle that we live in perpetual poverty directly because of ‘more for me’ capitalism!
Those of us on the ‘bottom end’ of capitalism know it doesn’t work and despite the isolated, delusional (and therefore none too bright) conservo-whacko we need to implement a more equitable social sharing mechanism…that capitalists have no hand in designing or implementing.
Have you seen the humorous commercial promoting a new online trading site called ‘Jet’?
Well, let me tell you here and now why we no longer ‘barter’
Because humans are ‘opportunists’ and we’d all be chasing the latest ‘trend’ (attempting to maximize return on effort/outlay) instead of focusing on doing what needed doing. The shortages would be staggering.
Just as unemployment (real unemployment as measured by the labor force participation rate) is worse than it was during the, er, ‘first’ global depression, commonly characterized as the ‘Great Depression’…an event never to be repeated but the more for me Capitalists couldn’t step aside…and they won’t.
So…if things hang together until next November (and there’s a damn good chance they won’t.) are you going to go to the polls with or without your torch and good length of sturdy rope?
Between now and then, prepare!
Thanks for letting me inside your head,
Gegner
