We don't need a raise though. We need to rise up, smash the system and take control of the means of production!


since ya can't access the daily show, I down loaded, then down sized the video and added it here....

FYI IMHO it's kinda dumb to smash the system because that implies doing away with all the scientific knowledge that created all kinds of goods and services that would not have existed other wise, having said that I do agree the "management" has been too self centered/serving!

I'm with GASMON on this analysis; and I break it down like this. The 0.001% control just about everything; the 1% own just about everything; and the 20% run just about everything. To get to those 0.001%'s you have to cut through thousands upon thousands of humans that are dependent upon the decisions and network connections of that particular 0.001%'er. And they will fight to protect that structure; even if they don't know the name of the person at its core. And most don't.

There will be no Maidan in Moscow; and there definitely will be no Maidan in the US or Northern Europe. And as far as I'm concerned. That's a good thing.

Cause you know that evil structure of those terrible, wealthy 0.001%'ers? Well, I didn't get rained on today; I'm full, warm, comfortable; I had excess energy to go to the gym last night and lift really heavy steel disks for no particularly good reason what so ever. I'm very much in that structured network, and very much dependent upon it. And if called, I will risk anything to protect it, and to protect the shelter that it grants my family. That's how it works, and that's how those 0.001%'ers will manage to always be at the top of the shrinking hill of comfort , amongst the ever expanding misery of human existence.
Yes we are, as we are,
And so shall we remain,

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('AgentR11', 'T')hat's how it works, and that's how those 0.001%'ers will manage to always be at the top of the shrinking hill of comfort , amongst the ever expanding misery of human existence.


History tells us otherwise. So thought the bourgeoisie of ancient Rome and many empires that have come and gone before and and after it. Civilization is always in a constant state of flux. We live like wolf packs. Superiority, wealth and power are transient. All in time are brought down to the same level.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'O')h, how the mighty heroes have fallen! Stripped of their weapons, they lie dead.
The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('GASMON', 'O')utcast, Bill Gates is one of the few, very, very few of the 0.001% who do some good.

Most of the 0.001% are unknown to the likes of you and me, but control they have, virtually 100% of anything and everything THAT MATTERS.

Google Ivan Glasenberg for a start.

Gas

1). So you have credible proof of the "control"?

2). And you have credible information as to how much they give to charity, as compared to say, you? If you have no data, how can you reasonably imply they do no good?

And no, empty liberal whining doesn't count any more than, say, blatant conservative science denial does.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'a')nd that's how those 0.001%'ers will manage to always be at the top of the shrinking hill of comfort , amongst the ever expanding misery of human existence.

I think this statement in fact refutes your very argument Agent, as Lore alluded to eventually those at the top will fall as they created what you termed an ever expanding misery. Do we not see that in the world today, the rich countries becoming less while poor ones become more and within the countries more poor and less middle class. I know that is pretty evident here in the States. So eventually this process will play out as it has in the past. A system depriving more and more will eventually crumble. I think you could term it Critical Mass as in enough people are the deprived and destitute then this sea of people will just overwhelm the existing system. Now what comes next that is the tricky part.

I'm not saying they won't fall; but rather they fall last; not first.

haha you could be right in that from hearing the talk of domes and underground seed banks and complexes, it looks like the rich and elite are planning to survive anything and everything that comes their way. Yet I have to think that perhaps before any of us the regular folk fall, we will take them out. Just wishful thinking but who knows.

saw the video and first thought was perhaps there is a doctor

that can Rx a pill to cure that "Affluenza" condition...

BTW anyone else see "the super rich and us"

to me it was like an auto accident one might encounter while driving, I knew I'd see some pretty disturbing things, but I couldn't help but watch....

Haha Phaster
Does not faze me one bit they will turn to dust just like us and they cannot take their riches with them beyond the grave. Quite a number of years ago I stopped having any envy towards them. In fact, I feel pity for them in a way at this point. Why? Because I think they lack what us humans may need the most, namely peace of mind.

rich or poor in the end the "system" is in equilibrium!

in other words "how much land does a man need..." is an easy answer

Waken up, sunshine, do some googling, have a nice day !

Gas

OK, so I Googled glasenberg (as I had before and didn't bother to mention him). He's ONE GUY. ONE CEO.

So this is your "proof" that the .001% and 1% run things? Sure! :roll:

You have a nice day too, fact free though it will likely be, re economics.
