Summing It All Up (In 1 Sad Cartoon)

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It is true that income inequality has kind of gotten worse, but you can take the compensation of every CEO in America and make it zero and it wouldn’t put a dent into it. What really matters is growth. It’s not right to say we’re worse off … If you go back 20 years ago, cars were worse, the air was worse. People didn’t have iPhones.”

 

– Jamie Dimon

If there is no god/devil/punishment, then Wall St. jerkoffs are on the right track.  They steal millions in broad daylight, spend and enjoy it.  Then, rub it in our faces. 

Yachts, exotic cars, mc mansions, blow and hookers then die off into the sunset on their private islands.  All, while we spend most of our life in a 8 x 8 cubicle for 8 hours/day and hurry home to check our 401k to see if we will have food and shelter in our 'golden years' or not.

lets see, in 1995, NAFTA and China hadn't fully hollowed out our manufacturing base.  The NSA wasn't all up in our shit.  Football players weren't huge vaginas.  Gas was under $1.  You could buy 5000 rounds of 22 LR for about $20.  I actually worked in Ferguson MO then, and wasn't apprehensive about it, excpet for the fist fights between black people that seemed to happen at the Burger King occassionally.  There were movies and TV shows that weren't a bunch of propaganda bullshit.  Glass Steagal wasn't repealed so local banking seemed honest...

Canoe Driver's picture

True,MsCreant,but why did this happen? It's not all the fault of bad government. Women initially went to work out of a reasonable desire for equality. But then, with more money available, their families found they could outbid the neighbors for a house. This meant the neighbor also had to send his wife out to work, just to keep up. The ensuing bid up caused massive home price inflation, until nearly every home purchase required two incomes.

Sometimes the oppression of the people is because of the people.

And the people,generally speaking, have the analytic capacity of foraging woodland creatures.

stacking12321's picture

really?

that's your conclusion? that real wages are going down and living standards are dropping because women entered the workforce?

it has nothing to do with the fed, the fractional reserve banking system, the end of sound money, or the extractive wealth policies which confiscate a huge percentage of the productive value of working people and then hands out trillions$ to wall street for bailouts and subsidies, crony-connected defence contractors, big ag and big pharma?

there's a term for extracting wealth from the people through inflation, taxation, and confiscation - it's called financial repression:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_repression

if you really think that women entering the workforce are the problem, i suggest you look at the bigger picture. if the extractive policies of the state were ended, women wouldn't have to enter the workforce just so their families could get by.

I believe you are both right on two very different topics. Both have had an impact on the worth of the dollar.

Yes stacking, you're correct about all the underhanded stealing of the worth of the dollar due to the fractional reserve lending scheme. We know that.

But canoe driver is also correct in his analysis.

I'd just like to add that the primary reason woman moved toward the workforce was twofold.

1. They had the time to do so - thanks to men designing, building, buying and giving them all the devices that did almost all the housework by itself.

2. None of the plebs - male or female - reasoned out that it would just prove to be a massive driver to inflation through increased demand for goods. Women entered the workforce, yes - but didn't and don't tend to make anything. No physical economic outcome, but increased dollars, now spread between both sexes. 

What a shitfight. Woodland creatures indeed.

Interesting thought. Do Jamie, Lloyd and Warren... represent the law?

No.

But they are protected by various line items of LEOs, color of law.

- DOJ, FBI, SEC, FINRA, FTC, GAO, CBO, FED, Treasury, OCC, FSOC, BCFP, CFTC, FDIC, FHFA, SIPC... all protect TBTF Executives for their Business and Financial Activities including Anti-Trust Violations

So, the strategy would seem to be to press Treason and RICO Violations as well as Anti-Trust Violations... and also press these issue against the FED.

One thing I wonder when I hear plans like these. Where will you run to? 'someplace safe' is exactly nowhere. The trucks stop rolling there's no food delivered to shelves. Or critical medical supplies being delivered to medical infrastructure. Buut life goes on. There's a thread here about surviving the blockade in Bosnia, I suggest you start there. As far as running goes, understand you'll not time it right You'll go too soon and burn through your stocks too quick; or start too late . . . accept that and act accordingly. If anything big and sudden and so bad went down that everyone took off at once? Anarchy. All the prep won't save you.

By way of reminder:

What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded.  Just as it is written: "God has given them a spirit of stupor, Eyes that they should not see And ears that they should not hear, To this very day." (BTW-just as most are blind to the truth)... Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness! ... For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, (seems to be a lot of human wisdom here) that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.   And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;  For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins."

God commands ALL men to repent and to believe the good news, but because man is bent on doing that which is unrighteous because they love their rebellion against the goodness of God; He will and is going to come and only He, can and will clean up the mess that is sin and unrepentant sinners.  Those who earn their way to hell will be with the Bankers, Politicians, and religious heretics (i.e. the Pope), for the WAGES, a thing earned, of rebellion against God's holy laws and His Son will be judged accordingly.  There is no fear of the LORD before their eyes and Lord who has believed our report?

 

The coming judgment by the Judge of all the world will be done in truth and righteousness.  No one will escape this Kings judgment except those in whom the King has pardoned.  It does not matter if you believe this to be foolishness, for indeed He said you would believe it to be foolishness; just another affirmation of the veracity of the Scripture.

Keep mocking and store up the wrath for yourself, for you neglect to consider the sin you will be judged for to your own demise.

Hey Croc

Are you of the earth is 10,000 years old crowd- that humans played with the dinosaurs ?

Or that carbon-dating is a trick that Satan taught scientists ?  Or that Darwin was planted by Satan ?

Questioning anything should be a sin. Ergo I am a sinner.

We know the world is drowning in debt, but there is little mention that nearly all this debt will sit with those least able to afford it.

a) Those with excess capital invest it and collect interest, dividends and rent.

b) Those with insufficient capital borrow money and pay interest and rent.

The wealthy don’t need debt.

Another nail in the coffin for global demand.

In the healthcare industry, this mantra is used by corporate to praise the underlings (who do the grunt work). They think it replaces real praise, which would be a real raise. But alas, there is no ***(((((shh!unionshh!))))***, like the nurses formed back a few yrs ago, so one has to change jobs.
