GOLD? Really?

People are now rushing to buy GOLD, because they think it's something stable and will always be a good investment. But they are wrong. GOLD is just as meaningless as any other form of "Money". GOLD only has value for the same reason that we give value to paper money, and that is because we agree that it has value.

If I am hungry, try giving me a GOLD brick, for my bread. If I am trying to provide shelter for my Family, would a GOLD brick be worth the logs needed to build my house? Will a GOLD brick give cloak me when I am cold?

I could sit on a throne of GOLD, but GOLD can't feed me by itself, or shelter me by itself, or cloth me, by itself.

GOLD is just as much a Lie as Money itself.

Free market Economies

The great fallacy of the "Free Market Economy" is that it benefits ALL people. It doesn't... It only benefits those who are in position to take advantage of it.

Lower class people, the ones that need jobs... they don't benefit at all. In fact, all Free Market Economics does is consolidate jobs into a narrow strata. If you are not already in the company who eats another company, you get screwed, and you loose your job.

The whole primes of "Free Economics" is based on equal opportunity, everyone has the same access to the same resources. And that is where it all breaks down.

There is no equal access to the raw materials, at the same price, and there is no "Fair Trade"

And you wonder why people riot?

UK Riots

The riots have hit my wife's home town in England, fucking brilliant.

America, laughs as they don't understand why the riots started in the first place.
