Wall Street wants most of us to die!

[divideandconquer]

Isn't that the real capitalist solution?

[Ozymanithrax]

1. No, because if you are dead they don't get your money. n/t

[Catshrink]

2. Way back, the Brits had to decrease the peasant population

when the big farmers and landowners took over the small farms. It's the same thing. We don't need as many workers now due to mechanization, technology, and outsourcing. So, Wall Street wants to kill off the peasant class. You betcha.

[galileoreloaded]

4. Bingo. WW3 Inbound. n/t

[Birthmark]

3. And vice versa

[naaman fletcher]

5. Not at all. Who are they going to loan money to to buy cheap shit from china? nt.

[leftstreet]

6. 300 or so million Americans, 6 billion other people on the planet

do the math

[Donnachaidh]

12. yeah right -- who are the wealthy that LOAN money to unemployed people?

FAIL.

Make that EPIC fail.

[naaman fletcher]

14. Huh?

They do it all the time.. payday loans.. 29.99% APR credit cards, etc. Sure right now they are not doing too much of it because they did it too much and got burned.

So they went to the government for a bailout.

They will open the spigots again in a year or so.

[Donnachaidh]

15. so you advocate usury to rip off people trying to survive?

Nice fucking attitude. :puke:

[naaman fletcher]

18. WTF is wrong with you?

I advocate no such thing. The issue was if corporations want people to die or not.

[Ysabel]

7. they need slaves and they need them to be easliy expendable...

- i suppose they could replace us with robots though / but then who will build the robots / ieee i'm going in circles...

edit: missing letter / typo / twice / grrr i'm a terrible typist...

[dana_b]

8. exactly what I was thinking

people completely beholden to their corporate masters and who are neck high in debt. Keep spending!! woo hoo!!

[northernlights]

16. they already have plenty of slaves overseas

they only need minimal over here. The excess can die.

[librechik]

9. employers carry "dead peasant" insurance on a lot of us

so I suppose they do.

[Vinca]

10. Not all of us. Who'll cook their meals, make their beds and take out their garbage?

[jdp349]

11. what?

[conscious evolution]

13. If you take a good,long look

at the difference between a pyramid and an obelisk you will see the answer to your question.

[Raine]

17. No if anything they want more of us, we're needed as drones

and consumers so we can toil away on their plantations in "Richistan" and buy all the crap that they produce cheap in China.

edit: changed word

[WinkyDink]

19. Yes. Notice how stocks rise when unemployment does likewise?

[patrice]

20. This should not surprise anyone - Millions die in their wars of choice. Fewer people

are fewer problems with declining resources in bio-systems disrupted and even destroyed by climate change.
