one minute i think trump is a total lunatic and he's going to destroy the world and then the next minute i'm thinking, maybe some good will come of all this nonsense. i'm talking about CREATIVE DESTRUCTION. or as they say, out with the old and in with the new. there is no doubt that the world economy has been stagnant for the last decade despite the trillions of dollars in quantitative easing. we now know that trickle down monetary policies are about as ineffective as trickle down fiscal policies. in both cases, fuck all trickled down from the rich. but that's why the rich are rich, once they get a dollar, it doesn't leave their pocket.
creative destruction is on its way whether or not trump destroys everything first, he might just speed up the process. mechanization and artificial intelligence are here to stay so the big question is, what are the billions of humans going to do? the answer to that question is easy, we'll do what we always do, reproduce and fight with each other. i guess the big question is, how will we divide the economic pie? the answer that question is also easy, we will not divide the economic pie equally.
has the pie ever been divided equally in the entire history of the human race?
NO!
trump's stated goal of replacing globalism with protectionism leads me to the following question?
would you rather buy a garment produced by a machine in your own country or a garment produced by a human in a less affluent country?
and while we have our thinking caps on;
is a genetically modified cotton plant as evil as a genetically modified corn plant?
just more shit for us to argue over.
so what's a guy to do?
billy still loves you sons of bitches.
I for one will just what I have always done, keep on flowing on.
ReplyDeleteyeah, i guess you have a few years of flowing left in the old bones.
Deletenot giving a shit prolongs life. Billy should live to be a 100.
DeleteThings are falling apart. I'm an armchair observer. I didn't vote for Trump. I'm not a foaming at the mouth liberal. I suspect that many of the destructive vandals, I mean protesters, are being paid by one group or another. I don't believe American news reports.
ReplyDeleteScrew it. I'm retired. Time to be a crazy old woman and let the world run amok. Meanwhile I am hoping my doc will prescribe a natural bud remedy for my arthritis.
"arthritis".... DMSO
Deleteyes, retirement is the time to sit back and enjoy the show. (and eat lots of fiber and drink lots of water)
DeleteI just shake my head at the shanghais he does...Not sure it a bad joke or bad night mare we got for president.
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of trickle down economics. I do believe in hand up as long as it does fall in category of a free ride in life...Free loading...
Coffee is on
i'm not an expert, but trump seems to be a psychopath. absolutely no remorse for his actions or lies.
Delete"no remorse for is actions or lies." remind you of anyone else we know?
DeleteThe thing about protectionism is that it cuts both way. Cattle ranchers in Texas depend on the Mexican market and are getting worried. Trump would be and asshole whatever he did, but people should focus on policy issues right now.
ReplyDeleteand the democrats need a little creative destruction of their own. it's time for them to get rid of the old war horses like pelosi and clinton etc.
ReplyDeleteIt's frustrating. I can't even stomach seeing his stupid face when I flip on the television, but I do need to know what is going on in the world. But I don't have to like it.
