Ummm....guys.....Just who do you think has ruined
the US economy -- drug lords? No! The extremely
wealthy, who are operating what is really a pyramid
scheme. The rich are the ones who are controlling
not only the US's economy, but the world's economy --
and they do it only to get even richer, no matter how
much human suffering their economic policies have created
and are creating. I find that absolutely appalling and
disgusting.

Don't believe me? Look up "derivatives" -- and do the math --
add up the value of all the derivatives world-wide -- then try
to believe that the very wealthy are not scum on the worst sort.
Drug lords are also scum, but on a very tiny scale economically
compared to banksters and those other super-rich people who
are profiting in the short term off of the tremendous amount of
human suffering their economic policies have created.

Even the staid and very well-respected Financial Times of London
has printed a bit of the truth: They recently printed an op-ed piece
saying that private banks should be stripped of the power to
print money.

Financial Time of London

Mandatory RR content: HSR is a huge boondoggle, and is yet
another example of huge developers potentially profiting off of
real estate that is made tremendously more valuable by the HSR
that is supposed to go right next those properties. It is all about real
estate speculation -- and NOT about serving people's real needs
for better rail transportation.
