Yawn.... look at the history, the holy cow of "investing", stock market, mutual funds, compound interest, and what else have you on the current favorite fairy tales resulting in periodic crashes and always the larger part of a population is at a disadvantage and suffering.

There is no doubt that the wealth of the larger part of general population along with effective income is shrinking and may have never been different - the so-called American Dream may have been working for a short period after WW II and became another pipe-dream as it is now.

Just look at the US "democracy" - a totally corrupt undertaking; every politician is "bribed" or won't exist.

A consequence of what? Amassing of wealth and power in a small segment of population and all this is driven to a great part by the hyped Indexes where ups and downs are announced on all public media and people getting hypnotized by it's moves from early childhood on, imprinted for life as a religion.

Dream on....

Stock- or commodity market values are speculative, Netherlands(?) tulip frenzy comes to mind.
That this system fails does not seem to enter peoples mind since the greed of getting rich or more rich overrides everything else.

What one my think about is who will have to work and pay for all those "profits" taken and why the "bubble up" to the top - what is it - 1 % works to groom the cream of the crop even more and the propaganda of "trickle down" is a fairy tale.

be put alone in a corner where they feel very very unwell?
Something like a podest, where they have to stand on, maybe chained and everyone is free to spit at them.
At one point, enough will be enough.

Confetti
?

Not sure if it's a "good" thing for "us" to be here. Mass extinction of species, ongoing wars and killings, the whole refugee situation in the mediterrian sea, human world population growth unmanageable, denial of climate change facts, a US representative claiming the earth being 6k years old.. Bigger sunspots would be just like that, bigger sunspots without all the other nonsense.

ordering those kind of actions getting slapped in any way?
Criminal investigation, putting those crooks in court - anything like that?
No, company pays for it, and in end stockholders and customers.
And, not to forget who else gets a cut on those deals? Any idea, like lawyers, negotiators, what their compensations are on those with those numbers - all behind closed doors for good reasons... Sure, they don't have to deal with minimum or living wage issues.

This is how single events, as disastrous as the may be, are used by demagogues to play their game.
Look at the NSA complex, drone-strikes on "suspects", torture beautified as enhanced interrogation etc. nibbling away on individual's rights and general freedoms previously seen as granted.

You got talent and should go into politics, if you not already are.

Those fine particles spewed out from truck exhausts in those bullies crawling uphill going in your lungs - not an issue at all - that would go against the contractually granted right in the TPP for Chinese truck manufacturers to make profit.

tight-asses are bubbling up to the top - or manifest themselves automatically in this area while other's just obediently serve in their allotted slots of existence.

Needs two - one part to give up their freedom by choice, subduing into being robots obeying written - with soldiers this seems to happen or not written with corporate ants and the demanding jerks being the counterpart and everyone is happy to live their life to the fullest?

to put up Anonymus face masks when driving and put life-size puppets in back seats.

only over my dead... and that's already assigned to students teaching/research. Sorry Apple hype.

S/he who has the money and can't get enough of it and then after dying to pass his/her legacy on to their offspring to continue to live on there - all a great mind game,
Reality is different..
Mostly it seems to be "he's" doing this kind of game.

But somebody must have paid secretly. At one point in time this was called bribery and people doing this and got caught were put in jail. Nowadays it seems to be the law of the land... Oh no, the law of the chosen few - chosen by god or something like that.

You are making me laugh - the joke of the day!
Mark parent up as funny!!
