It seems to me that all the teeth gnashing by the financial wizards is going to be a waste of time!

For these reasons

Most of the people that are in a position to purchase something are worried that the whole house of cards is about to topple. They probably don’t even realize this as such, it is the day to day issues of making ends meet, feeding the family, paying the electricity bill, buying the needed school supplies for “Johnny” and “Shirley” or fixing the broken car that needs a brake job or a set of new tires.
These are the realities of the folk in the western world, AKA North America or Canada or the E. U.
For those folk who live in the Maldives it might be will I be able to move to higher ground as the ocean keeps inching higher and higher, and where might that be?.

For those folk that live in Somalia it might be, will I get any food tomorrow? Or will someone tell me that there is no food and to go home!

For those folk who lost their job making a useful product who were given a pink slip because the company went offshore, the financial world of stocks and bonds means little more than some talking head spouting gobbledygook.

Try telling someone who is filing for bankruptcy that the economy is recovering!

I think that the people who are in charge, the people who are making the decisions are either stupid or ignorant of the facts! The fact is that continued growth in a finite system is impossible!

I would have thought that by now the people who are in charge of the globe, these are the folk who are sometimes elected and who are sometimes there because they “were in the right place at the right time”, this doesn’t mean that they are right or worthy of being there, would have realized that doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results would have clued in that things are not working!

I keep hearing that this is a very complex problem. Bullshit!! It’s not complex at all! If you continue to spend more than you earn you WILL GO BROKE!!!

What do we all want? People I mean. From my limited experience a mere 63 years of life I suspect that most of us want to be healthy happy and able to do what we enjoy doing.

I wonder what a young child in Afghanistan thinks.
I wonder what a young child in Somalia thinks.
I wonder what a young child in Bolivia thinks.
I wonder what a young child in Fukushima thinks.
I wonder what a young child in Pakistan thinks.
I wonder what a young child in Yemen thinks.
Or what a child on the West Bank thinks?

I think that if we thought about what the children all over the world were feeling we might change our ways, and just think about doing things that would benefit them instead of us.
