#endstage #capitalism = #fascism + #racism is ONLY the #symptom: IT'S NOT LEFT VS RIGHT: IT'S TOP (RICH) VS DOWN (POOR) AND IF THERE ARE ENOUGH (!) STUPID POOR, THE RICH WILL WIN (UNFORTUNATELY)
#DEMOCRACY WITHOUT EDUCATION IS DEADLY DANGEROUS! (SEE BELOW VIDEO)

REALIZE THIS: #BANKS PRINT #MONEY "#QUANTITATIVEEASING" AND BUY REAL THINGS = #INFLATION

at the end of the day Jill + Joe can not afford a home #realestate #speculation #madness

after DECADES of #corruption (revolving door #private and #government in #USA but also #EU #Germany) people feel (rightfully) exploited and are looking for answers (the easy answers are usually NOT the right answers X-D)

"what? i am poor because private banks robbed my purchasing power?" is way more complicated than "foreigners out" and let's switch on #nuclearpower and #bigoil again X-D

What kills companies the most often?
Bad management. Got a chance to reduce debt? Forget that, do stock buybacks to make the management richer!

Zombies: Ranks of world’s most debt-hobbled companies are soaring, and not all will survive | The Seattle Times

> Zombie companies, those so laden with debt that they are just stumbling by, could soon face their day of reckoning as hundreds of billions of dollars in loans come due.

The Seattle Times · Zombies: Ranks of world’s most debt-hobbled companies are soaring – and not all will surviveThey are called zombies, companies so laden with debt that they are just stumbling by on the brink of survival, barely able to pay even the interest on their loans and often just a bad business hit away from dying...

I've heard, on occasion an argument that can be paraphrased somewhat along the lines: "Regulations are a sneaky way of bringing socialism to a capitalistic economy."

Yeah, you're right.

But do you realise what that also means?

It means socialism is the only thing that can keep unbridled capitalism in check.

And, if you paid any attention in school, you would know that unbridled anything is the very definition of cancer.

Service providers of all kinds just get even worse and worse as we get deeper and deeper into #endstage #capitalism. I don't fault the line workers because they're doing the best they can with the dysfunction. It is almost as if the wealthy know that the bottom is going to drop out at any moment so they're getting hungry to sap the last remaining amounts of money before the well dries up.
