This video makes me sick.. It is an especially big problem in Saint Louis, but we don't have a monopoly.
Slavery, back in business.

Huh? Not available on Youtube from the UK, but it is available from Sweden ... There are several people reposting the videos on Youtube so I'd think it would become available for other people sooner or later.
BTW. I've been binge-watching Last Week Tonight the past few days. Lots of good episodes.

LOLOL...
I don't think you guys understand how modern economies works.
Every RICH-guy in developed economies expects at least 15-30% return per year..
THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE, humanity does not grow that much in a year..
So, how do we actually Create this type of liquidity.. we PRINT imaginary money..
But now we're in a conundrum.. Imaginary money that leads to crippling inflation..
So, how the hell do we fix inflation.. by SPENDING the imaginary money...
It really doesn't matter what we buy, the system as is, is so broken that NO ONE can fix it, because the communication and organization costs in tackling such an immense INTERNATIONAL problem is insurmountable.
So, our current best solution is to continue this perpetual deficit ON PAPER..
Most concisely.. Think about it this way..
It's not that there isn't a problem.. We admit there is..
It's not that the problem can't be fixed.. It can..
It's that we can't all AGREE at the same time to fix the problem.. NO we can't..

At the heart of All of these issues is the untamed expectations of returns on investment..
When people "at large" -seek to possess- in great excess of what they need, social injustice prevail, because EVERYONE is saying to each other, if I only had a little more, a little more wouldn't hurt anyone..
The net result of everyone behaving this way IS grand scale failure of equality and governance..
When people "rationalize" doing just a little harm for excess cash flow
It explains why something OBVIOUSLY wrong takes place, and why we ALLOW IT.
