They are just selling off america bit by bit
I was listening to Hartmann a while ago , don;t know who the guest was I caught the end but I heard enough of what america is selling off .

Will are close enough for me already not being america without jobs and a low dollar still dropping this and their insane war will certainly kill off what's left of this screwed up country .

It must be time to do something for me like blow the hell out of here asap and take my chances , if I freeze of bake or end up killed by a bear so be it , this is certainly no way to live just wondering and hearing daily how much worse things become . What a sick joke , just ship all the jobs away and end it already who ever is left can fight for the food .

1. I have been readying a book on International Political
Economy and though the author does not surbscbe to the theory, the new internaitoal econimic order has put a lid on the nation state.

The vision of Cyberpunkers everywhere of a world controlled by major corporations is not that far off

(You may ask why read that? Figuring out how to set a stellar economy for the game)

4. definitely
Check out "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson. He's been tracking on this evolution of a global franchise economy for going on two decades now. "Diamond Age" is a good one too - for what could be "next-next".

2. Sell it all. Then nationalize. It's pure profit.
Surely profit is an acceptable motive?

3. Took it bit by bit, sell it bit by bit
That's the problem with exponential growth. Unless all growth is unlimited, in every aspect of life, we're in trouble.
