x to the power of infinity

let's pretend we're a corporation, say the United States of Getoveronya.

First, we'll pump up the constituents...um, people...with fairy tales of providence, righteousness, fairness and dreams fulfilled, a surreal sociological perspective.


Second, we'll play rope-a-dope. Pumped up with their inflated sense of selves, the consumers--I mean, the people--will borrow, up to the "outer limits" of reason. We'll charge an exorbitant amount of interest to the people. Our interest will be way less than that of the consumer--oops, i mean the citizens--seductively so, so that the government itself will be lured into borrowing until way beyond the limits of reason.

At the same time, we--The United States of Getoveronya--will borrow our money with interest from the Private Fed Reserve bank of Nowhere-in-Particular, in a currency that is valued out of thin air.

This floating value then allows us to "game" the system, for as one value rises one may make bets on its' rise, and as it falls, we can bet on its' fall. Now, when we can "make" the values rise or fall by sundry manipulations, well, now we have something!

Monetary gain.

That's the name of the game. Every corporation is forced to look only at the short term gain of its' stockholders. It owes nobody else anything, save what taxes can be siphoned off back to the government of Getoveronya. The community, the public good, the long-term consequences of such anti-social acts as dumping and scamming are a distant second to the quest for the almighty? dollar.

A Bubble is an deliberate act of men who are greedy, and tuned only to their own interests. When a Bubble bursts, it has already made the Bubble Blowers wildly rich, and those that it bursts upon, it impoverishes.

What's scary is that there are men who do this for fun, and for their own gain to the detriment of everyone else. It's a power game, played with ruthless precision, alarming avarice and sickening disregard for the future of all mankind--if not outright maliciousness towards it.

Interesting how free speech is easily trampeled and subverted by mistruths, inuendoes and lies.
