And the reality is that the rest of the world has to swallow
compound-interest bearing, USDollar credit, resulting in the flow of
'wealth' (as money is. laughably, called) from 'the all of us' to 'the few
of them'
(465 people in the world own more than half of all of the rest of us:
ie, we the financially poorer 3 billion of the remaining 6 billion (less
465) people in the world)
Since ownership => return, this last fact => the net flow of money/power
into those 465 pairs of hands.
Since inequality = fear for all (including the 465) then its no wonder that
alcohol, binge eating, Prozac, binge sex, gated 'commuities', black window
SUVs, divorce, suicide etc have become the survival strategies of choice.
(And the solution?
- see The Fair World Project solution set?)
