>"Except of course that the time to fix often exceeds the cost to replace"
It's just about time to stop thinking that way. Many reasons. This rampant consumerism does nobody any good. That new printer, as cheap as it may be, makes a serious profit for the type of people who just love slave labor. OK, in China they rdive cars and have AC, they no longer live in grass huts and shit, fine, but the fact is they are using up resourcs to keep building new stuff.
And the what appens to the old stuff ? I think we know. So the bottom line, no matter how you slice, the US winds up being a fucking dumping ground. In the end, we end up with a bunch of junk that does't work, no jobs and no economy.
Whioch brings us to another impending fact. They are "creating" $80 billion a month for "quantitative easing" which is a ruse, propping up the stock market so people do not (wisely) pull out. That way in the NEXT crash, they get your money too, it is not just the bankers and big investors. And it has to crash. This is more then the military budget folks.
And when it happens, every thing that is imported, which means almost everything, is going to cost alot more.
That should be good for us folk who can fix things. Problem is that we would like to get paid and if nobody has any money they will do what people did in the old days when they didn't have money.
Without.
And then we will have the influx of the petrodollars as more and more countries get sick of them. BRICS has officially announced they are dumping dollars. China buys Iran's oil and pays for it in gold. They are also shying away from the dollar.
If may get to the point where you need a wheelbarrell full of money to buy a loaf of bread, and you know what happened last time.
The US' only choice will be to become a nation of warriors, taking from others even more than today. Every time a bomb drops or an M-16 fires or any of that shit, it is for MONEY. They tell you of the terrible plight of the downtrodden, or wepons of mass destruction, but I know what thy're doing. It's all money, and keeping the dollar propped up. Saddam switched to euros and all the suddn became a threat. Qadhaffi was initiating the introduction of a new currency - the African gold dinar backed by precious metal as opposed to the fiat US petrodollar. Half of the shit they do is persuant to keeping the world's oil businees on the dollar standard.
The jig is up. There is not enough military might to force the world to continue holding our greenbacks. Huge markets like India for example are ging to deal with the Russians. The Iranians are just about laughing at the sanctions, and the Russians are practivcally asking for more. Yes PLEASE hutrt our currency, we are a net exporter which means we can make MORE money. Let it drop for now, pay us more rubles. And then when your stupid asses fall face dowm we will have gained in the end.
Well they do think more than five minutes into the future.
