Economics with Jam-Master Jay (none / 1)

Of course you're right for the generality of the population. Which is why we're not rich. The uber-sharks who rule the world, the Bushs, the Cheneys and the Trumps are exactly those people who'd sell their granny's birthright given half the chance.

They make the rules, they pass the laws, they persuade lecturers that black should be white if they want their next paycheck.

As Run DMC pointed out : It's just like that, that's just the way it is.

keep to the Fen Causeway

Re: Economics with Jam-Master Jay (4.00 / 4)

It's the way it is, but it's not the way it needs to be.

And it is simple new economic tools operating outside the system, but connected to it, which will make the change IMHO.

A whole new take on Rules, Laws AND Paychecks...

When you are in power you have to stretch the truth, and then it won't ever go back to it's normal shape

Such people get into power because too many cynical, apathetic people say things like: "It's just like that, that's just the way it is."

Well, that and the guns, private armies, media control and false flag terrorism.
