Your time starts now!

It is the end of the year… In fact almost the end – the year of 2014… This year was no longer or shorter, than any of the previous ones…

I got a sudden feeling to write down something, after Fbook insisting on me to put together my yearly summary.

As usual, if anyone tries to force me to do something I just ignore it.  Or I can send them somewhere... Depends on my mood... 

However the idea is here, so lets make a summary. Not only for this year, but in general.

I write to you, the "new generation" - born end of 80's and in 90's...

You are our children...

The reason I decided to write is, that I still remember the times I was in your age now and I can compare it to where we are now.

So the good news is:

Today you are flooded with information… You can find anything anywhere in few seconds by some clicks on your computer or a smart device…

In my time I was “limited” to our home book collection, the school and some public libraries..

I was really bad guy, as I did not like to return books to the public libraries – they really hated me for that… It was like the magic – once I started to read a book, I treated it as my own property and I hated to give it up!

Yes, there was one more source – around the place I was living, we had few bookstores, which sold old books… For very little money you could get some very nice books…

It is amazing how different is the smell of an old and a new book… The old book has carried the smell of the house, where it was kept for many years on the bookshelf and blended with the smell of the bookstore…

The new books got that unique smell, however they also had different smells, depending on what paper they were printed and how they were covered… In your age I could never afford a color printed book or a book with hard cover… They smelled the best!

So the good news is, that you are still in an era, when you are able to buy books – printed books.

Most probably your children will not have this luxury…

Now the bad news is:

“The limits of growth”, a book predicting the future ahead was published in 1972.

Most of its predictions were told are false… it was told at 1975… However at 2002 it turned out, that those predictions are right.

Trouble… real trouble – if we go on like this, than around the time, when I will start to think about my own funeral, you will have to start to think about your own survival…

As between 2030-2050 the life might start to change dramatically… Please do not have any illusions… We have a good chance to go back to the new era “dark ages”…

If you want to have some hints, just read about it…

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/sep/02/limits-to-growth-was-right-new-research-shows-were-nearing-collapse

I do not want to scare you; I just want you to think about…

You may ask me how come if I new about this and did not do anything?  I was the same age as you now around the year of 1980. Eight years after the release of the book. Why I did not do anything to change this?

Those times matter fact I was thinking to change many things. But those times we lived in a divided world. We thought, that we are on the “proper side” of the planet. The book is about something bad in the “other word”… So it will never come or happen to us…

Then we grew and we have learned many things. We also learned, that our part of the world is not perfect, so we were dreaming to change it. Change it into much better.

Not better, than it was, but better, than the “other word” described in the book.

During our studies we already learned about the computers. We also learned how to make a computer program.

The first computer I could get into my hands was a Sinclair ZX Spectrum. It was fantastic – one time I have spent 72 hours with 3 of my friends playing the game called “bombing of Moscow”.

Not because of the game, but we have got a clear feeling, that something is happening and must happen. The world is changing and we believed it is changing for better.

After I have graduated I went to work in a Ministry… There I have seen the first laptop in the hand of my partner from Finland. By the way I was the first one having a PC in the whole organization – I will always remember, how I conquered the Volkswriter word processing program…

But let me come back to the change…

My generation was thinking about the change.

There were four kinds of people of my generation:

Some believed in and served the existing set up and also benefited from it;

The other one was depending on them either because they had material interest or because they were recruited;

The third one believed, that the set up can be reformed and made better;

And for sure there was the majority – they simply lived their lives…

The “defectors” came from the second group… No wonder… Those by the way, who are the most loud for the recent 20 years…

There was a political opposition and day and night the Voice of America and the Free Europe was broadcasting, but the problem started from the accent of the people, who pretended to speak our language… They did sound like ours, but in fact they did sound like some aliens… At least for me and for the majority of our generation.

We were born in peace - we did not see the horrors of war and violence and we did not have any live experience about that.

At home there was always an uncle, who would remember, how the Russians are bad, why the Americans betrayed us. How the nation was lost. The other side of the world is much better, but in fact every day we got some food at home and in the school.

I was the last one to get a pair of blue jeans in my class, when I was 13 and I did hate the taste of Pepsi, when I tried it first…

So here we come back to the age, when we could change something. But, and here comes the bitter truth and the 

Bad news:

We did not change anything – not our generation and in general not our people.

The time of change came, but no one was ready.

Everyone was ready to make things better and no one was ready to change them!

And in sudden moment we got in front of a choice – at least we thought.

But the reality is, that there was no choice! No choice whatsoever.

The change was planned, negotiated and implemented without the will or influence of not only my generation, but any person in my home country.

Do not have any illusions – nowadays people say – “me I did this or that”…

Do not listen to them – no one did anything at all.

There were few people in the power and their opposition, who were forced into a choice… Sorry, we can call this a “choice into a scenario”…

Choice is, when you can chose at least between “A” and “B”. But there was no “A” and no “B”…

There was a big hurray!!! And we thought something happened. Yes we thought…

But this is a feeling, when you are the meat entering into the grinder…

You do not see, what is happening under – you only feel, that you are moving and you are moving towards something, which you hope is better…

And let me go back a bit in time…

While the Voice of America was broadcasting on us, we in fact listened freely Beatles or practically any western music, witnessed online the Vietnam war, the French students protests, saw the Cuban revolution, the death of JFK and MLK, survived the Cuban crisis, witnessed the “Détente” and we also have seen how the Helsinki Accord was signed…

We saw the cars shrinking during the first oil crisis and have seen the horrors of Munich Olympic hostage taking, the capturing of the Baader-Meinhof group, the execution of Aldo Moro, the assassination of Olaf Palme and John Lennon…

We believed, that people are equal, people are good and we need to be better, so everyone shall be better.

We truly believed in a better world, in a world, which can be unified. A world, which can be a good place for everyone, not only for ourselves, but also for our enemies and their friends and their enemies as well!

We knew, that we are not allowed to do whatever we want; however many times we managed to get around the situation and we accomplished our goals;

We knew, that we couldn’t say, whatever we want; however we learned the language of symbols, so the one relevant could understand what we want;

We knew, that we couldn’t learn, whatever we want, however we found the way to do so.

The good news is:

We also knew, that there is no such a force, which can stop us to think. Our thoughts were our own private “territory” – this private territory was not accessible to anyone, except for those we trusted.

The generation before my parents grew in an environment, where they did not know what their parents think.

I grew in an environment, where I only guessed what my parents do.

You grow in an environment, where you know almost everything. But you do not know one small thing, which the previous generations new.


You have no clue what is going on now and what is going to happen to you in next few moments…

The previous generations were subject to certain brainwash. However it was done with limited success due to the media and information flows those times.

The bad news:

You guys now are under much bigger “pressure” – in general you are put under the control of media and in general of a virtually driven mental terror.

The last corners of your mental privacy are being occupied step by step…

We can blame governments, multi-national companies and the freedom of information flows…

You can blame whatever and who ever…

Your only shield against this is a firm and constantly growing knowledge and an awareness of what is going on.

The awareness will grow as your knowledge grows…

You can ask me why? Why you need this?

If you ask anyone from my generation – did we want this? The answer is no.

Those, who answer yes, are probably in some poorly funded mental institution or they are some rulers of some crazy governments…

So lets go further…

The life can be nice and everyone has a chance in this life. You are young and ambitious. You can achieve almost everything right? Why not?

So here comes again the bad news:

We were naïve enough. We believed in good and bad…

We forgot about one thing. Not to take things for granted.

SO please you learn from our mistake!

Something different does not mean it is something better.

I have just found this quote… The quote is old, but they say it belongs to Deanna Wadsworth…

About the four things you cannot recover in life…

1. The Stone ................... after it's thrown, 

2. The Word .................... after it's said, 

3. The Occasion ................ after it's missed,

4. The Time .................... after it's gone.

Lets speak about the 3^rd and the 4^th.

We have got a moderate and peaceful childhood. Most of our generation got it. No matter you were poor or wealthy.

It was told to love everyone – the enemy was somewhere outside, we never saw them…

There were pretty clear and simple rules for self conduct and for life…

Those times I have seen the main division between religious and non-religious people.

After the things started to change my first shock was to find out, that people started to divide each other by not only religion, but also by ideology.

After sometimes ideology started to be less important, than to belong to a party.

People started to like or dislike each other based on not their personal sympathies, but on political views.

Once a friend of mine said, that I should revise “my views”. I told him, that I will never waste my time with that…

He did not spoke to me for 10 years… Now he speaks to me again.

And here comes something – once the occasion is missed, it is missed forever… When we could do good business together with my friend, he was into party politics. Now we are friends again, but we shall never make any business.

In your life you need to understand, when you miss an occasion…

And the good news is:

You are not only able to see it, but you are also able to influence it!

Simple – your government makes a bad move – your life goes down, as everyone life goes down…

You could have a better life, but you don’t…

Normally people say, that they cannot change their destiny… I must say, that you can.

In one of my blogs I mention. My friend from Balkan said – they can forgive everything. They cannot forgive one matter.

They cannot forgive, that their youth was stolen.

It was stolen forever!!! No one can return it to them!

My generation did certain bad things – however I believe we did not steal your youth. Not yet…

However we let for you an extremely divided world – more divided, than it was ours…

We spoke about religious divisions, the ideological divisions, and the party divisions… One more came out, as an old crocodile from a forgotten swamp… The racial division and the racism as an old/new form of behavior and expression in general in our transforming society.

Why I speak about this?




Here are the bad news:

Your youth and future is coming to the hands of a next generation…

The one you will have to deal with.

Our generation can help, but even now we are considered to be outdated. Not now, this happened 15 years ago.

My generation started to become far more expensive, than the new generations. Knowledge, skill did not matter.  70% of my generation is sitting at home and doing absolutely nothing. Or almost nothing.

We were born in an age, when we could not learn how to build your own business. We did not have examples in front of ourselves and got no way to practice it.

Most of my generation tried some private business and failed in that. At least one or two times. Those who could stand up and learn from their mistakes now probably standing on their own. This is in fact the 30% I am talking about.


But the 70% is there.

Make sure no one can ever steal your youth! Or your mid ages or your old age…

And who can help you in this?

Here is the good news:

The 70%, who now does absolutely nothing…

Think about it…

And let me come back to the above quote.

I must add a number 5.

5. Human life ………. After its gone.

We were born in a relative safety and security. The war was hanging over us, but it was over…

I feel alarming, that in recent years newer and newer wars are happening more and more frequently.

If I would believe in conspiracy theories, than I would say, that since Russian occupation of Afghanistan, all the wars are conducted upon a carefully designed scenario and schedule… One by one…

However this does not matter from our present point of view. What matters, that our generation fought for our planet to be a safe place…

It looks like our voice start to be weakened by next generations.

Do not let happen this happen. There is no alternative to the peace!

There is no such situation, which can be solved by war.

There is no such a tactic, when confrontation can be more successful, than cooperation or coordination.

And I let you think about this.

Remember, if you want good for yourself, you need to start to do good.

That is the good news:

It is not too late yet!

The bad news:

Your time starts now!

If you need help, we are here, right behind you…

We wish you good luck!

Nightmare or sleepwalkers? The "Darwin" society.

Few days ago a prime minister elected by a great central European nation ( great in spirit and small in size) announced, that he wants to build a work-based society…

I could not get rid of this idea since then…

I have tried to read, if there was some similar economic and society models, but could not really find any of it…

Then I got tired…

Suddenly I found myself walking in a dark forest and saw some light few miles away…

On my way I met one guy carrying some firewood and he invited me to his home…

His name was John. You know, in that country every second man's name is John.

He lived in a small house in the middle of the deep forest and he called himself an outlaw or better say a rebel - in that land they call this kind of guys "betyar".

I asked him why he call himself by this title, so he told me his story, while we were heating up a can of american meat sent as food aid to this starving region:

One day a brave young man decided to change the World. But the evil came and changed his country's face. In fact he helped the evil. Whether he gave his soul to the evil, remains a speculation.

And then he saw, how his country falling into ruins. So he decided to lead his nation. But for the first 4 years he was not successful. So he got even eager and angrier and made a plan for his return.

And he decided this time make no mistake…

 

He ruled the country another four years, he promised to his citizens the land of joy, but the joy did not come.

He promised more changes.

 But he already changed everything. So he needed to figure out what to do...

One day he said, that people must work. Only the work makes the people honest. Only the work makes value!

But to make all the people work, especially the politicians, who never worked in their life, he need to show for them the eternal authority. So he created the rule of the "Holy Crown".

And he decided to destroy and to take over the banks first. The work of money is no good – it is not work! Money is a bad thing.

He closed the banks and gave the money to the rule of the Holy Crown.

But why to stop here?

Property is also a bad thing. So he handed over every kind of property to  the Holy Crown.

But stop for a moment – what is the rule of the Holy Crown?

It is the God given power ruling over the nation and even overruling the rules of anyone else.

So he decided to use the banks instead of handling the money, to register the work of each and every individual.

When John got a smart device, which measured his blood pressure, and heart rate, recorded his 24 hour activity by a camera and his whereabouts by GPS. When he heard, that he need to work with a heart rate over 150 per minute to qualify for one coupon, he decided to escape into the woods.

So I asked John what was happening in this society?

He said, from 1^st of January people had to hand over their properties. Their money also had been taken away, together with all their valuables.

People were recorded, tagged and sent to their designated working places.

People had to find their new neighbourhoods around their new working places...

For each hour of their work recorded, they could get from any Bank ATM coupons evidencing their work.

If they wanted to stay in a house, they had to bid by a certain number of coupons for that house, even if they were before the owners of that same house.

Always the one offered more coupons, could get the right to use the house…

Always the one worked more, could get more benefit. This was the rule!

Same for the cars – you could bid for car rent by your coupons. For food, closes for anything the same rule had been applied.

So if you worked more, you could have better house and better car. But only for the period you have worked more and more.

The competition was hard… Just like in the jungle – for life or death…

Only the stronger and smarter supposed to survive!

I asked what happened to the politicians? He said first time smiling – yes, they also had to start to work!

What happened to the state administration? He said, that the rule of the Holy Crown held weekly Lottery. The one, who won, could be the Prime Minister and the lower ranks were also distributed according to the lottery. But each function could be held only for one week. Than the next winner had to take the position over.

So what happened with the Parliament? He said, that it goes by lucky draw. There are 600 members and they are taken by a lucky draw, from the age group of 6 to 100. They also stay only for 1 week. Same thing happened to the courts.

What about schools, culture, theatres, restaurants, where people do not perform manual labor?

All this is done by the central computers of the former banks in a form of lucky draw… The aim is, that every person should become at a certain point a teacher, or artist or a prime minister…

The idea was to include the factor of random events.

The nation cannot depend whether they have smart or stupid, educated or illiteral members.... The survival of the Nation supposed to be depending on the laws of nature and the rule of the Holy Crown.

And what happens with the foreigners?

John answered to me, that it is very simple… All the borders had been closed to avoid any unnecessary bad influence of the sharks of the international monetary systems. All the external communication was cut off. The nation declared, that their land  borders with itself…

Still, in case some foreigners want to visit the country, they will have to pay a flat fee of 5.000 EUR to the rule of the Holy Crown to get the right to enter to land of the the Holy Crowns.

In here they were provided by the temporary living status for 3 month and given the same registering and tracking devices. They are also allocated to their working places. If they would not work, they would first found themselves with no places to live and later they would die of hunger.

They had to accept the rule of the Holy Crown and even the unforeseen future events. 

How? They must learn carefully about the Nation and have to be able to guess...

I asked him what is the use of hiding? He said to me, that he is a "betyar" - this is the way he lives...

Before he was homeless, bagging near a busy Metro station.

Originally he was a journalist, and teacher, but he could not and did not want to comply even with the previous conditions of the establishment.

There was a bad rumour about him, that he is a liberal.

He could not stand any chance to get any kind of employment even under the "old rule", the one before the rule of the Holy Crown.

The liberals become the main enemies of the state and the cause of all the troubles of the Nation for the last 30 years. He said, that he never heard about George Soros, but they said, before kicking him out, that he is his follower. So he had to go. He lost his friends, his family and everything he worked and lived for.

Suddenly I started to hear some noise of helicopter engines. John asked me to pack up fast, as we shall have to run and hide…

We jumped into the swamp and tried to run as fast as possible… My heart was beating in my throat, I hardly could breath…

Then suddenly I heard a sharp noise…. I felt the bitter sweat on my pillow and opened my eyes… 

My heart was still beating hard...

OH it is time to wake up! 



Today we got many things to do…

As I took my morning tea in the kitchen, I asked my wife to come closer to let me hug her… She felt relaxed and fresh...  She asked me why I look so tired? Could I sleep well?

And I was just smiling on this wonderfull World…

Independence day - closer, than the Clippers sales

There was a film made at 1996. Will Smith was great in that!

At 1996 our current president of the United States was 37 years old. He worked as a civil rights attorney at that time… He went to see this movie and for sure he decided that one time he would have to save the whole World!

However there was a small problem… That was again a white guy, who saved the World! Since Sammy Davis Jr. was acting in the “Rufus Jones for President” at 1933, there were several Afro-American presidents to save the United States and even the entire World!

But my favorite was Morgan Freeman in the “Deep Impact”… That time Barack was representing the 13^th district (lucky number right?) of the Illinois State and had no success to enter to the House of Representatives…

Freeman was not so tall and handsome as Barack, but look at his body language, smart, rational and able to convince the people, that him, and only him can save the World!

Am I mistaken, if I suspect Barack those times to stand in front of the mirror trying to imitate Morgan? Let’s agree – I would not be far from the truth…

"Day of Russia" kicked off yesterday… In popular language in Russia they also call this day, as the “day of independence”… However Russia since the Tatar’s invasion was mostly independent… So the day refers on signing of the documents of the State Sovereignty of the Russian Federation on a sunshiny day in June 1990…

By the way this day also remembered as the final day of the Soviet Empire…

Here you are the group photo about that particular day....

But let's come back to Mr. Freeman - it is a fact, that the US has never came into a situation to save the World yet.

But your should remember well the name of Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov. On September 26, 1983, he was the duty officer at the command center for the “Oko” nuclear early-warning system when the system reported that a missile was being launched from the United States.

Petrov judged the report to be a false alarm, and his decision is credited with having prevented an erroneous retaliatory nuclear attack on the United States and its NATO allies that could have resulted in large-scale nuclear war. Investigation later confirmed that the satellite warning system had indeed malfunctioned. (from wikipedia)

I hope you like this guy… Hollywood did not like him yet… So there is no film about him saving the World from a real nuclear war… For his misfortune he was not an American and not as handsome as Morgan Freeman.

But lets go back to our original topic…

Since Ronnie Reagan all the US presidents taking the oval office are implanted with the vision of being responsible for the entire World.

Just like our good old Superman…

Most probably the US public wanted to see them like this. But did those guys ever thought, that other folks around the World might not be so enthusiastic about this?

I kept shut up in my blog for a while, as could not keep up with all the mess around our little globe.

Last time we were talking about Syria. And Mr. Kerry suggested to knock the current regime out and to support the Syrian rebels...

Then now suddenly those Syrian rebels start to become criminals. And cruel islamic foreign mercenaries... Since they have attacked and keeping under control nearly one third of Iraq…

Fantastic – and this came as a huge surprise for the great NSA. Who obviously still keener to listen Angela, the allies and what is going on in your bedroom than some problematic places…

The Iraq army was so well trained, that after the first big woahhh from the rebels, two army divisions armed with the most modern US technology have manage to run away and vanish so fast, that the rebels could even collect their shoes together with all their brand new shiny US military equipment…

Few hundred guys shooed away and made to melt down all the army forces around Mosul… Great!!!

You guys made a great contribution for Russia! Think about this for a moment…

The oil price is up!  (No worry later it will also be down, when the dollar will go upJ)… And will keep going down and up up. For sure… Just to burn down few more refineries in Iraq… You can bet!

 First time in the history the whole World pays not only the US war games, but also they will pay this time the Russians for Crimea and the “sanctions” and the whole Ukrainian “adventure”…

Can you hear how the money flows???? You know where it flows now Mr. Kerry?

Please say big thanks to Mr. Kerry – the master of foreign politics!

He supposed to have not plastic, but probably brain surgery... Do you agree with me?

So far so good… As we can see now it is such a mess all around, that it is hard to find where to look…

In my favorite Bangkok – hmmm military rule;

In other all time favorite – hmmm… how to call this? Why you had to send Mubarak to the hospital?

Syria… Who won the elections? Just that you have now over hundred thousand killed and millions on run. Great!!!

 

Yemen?

Kabul?

Karachi?

Doneck?

Nigeria?

Libya?

Sudan?

Pyongyang?

Do we have any other place to screw up? No.. matter fact there is not much left...

How long time it will take to our Presidents instead of fighting the devil and the evil, and making the multiple acts of exorcisms, to put together that not so complicated puzzle in the region and make all this guys to talk to each other…

Or they might have no interest for this? I mean not those guys in there, but another ones, who got some different ideas around the Congress right? Monsanto? McDonalds? Pfizer, Merck, Microsoft, Exxon, GE and you name it…

And then some big fat boy on the CNN tries to explain to me, that we see the things not right… What is right?

Where is that global stability we are always promised about Mr. President? 

Time to think a bit… And open your ears… And go back and think again.

And before you start to believe, that the II. World War started by D-day, better you start to evaluate yourself as you are and what you are…

Otherwise posing in the mirror will not help anymore – even you want to look like that macho Morgan Freeman…


As this is in here a real world!

 

And remember one golden rule!

Prevention is better, than cure… That should be the main rule of international politics… Why it is not yet implemented…

That is a good question.

Self-restriction is the best way for prevention!

Otherwise what kind of example you show for others… It is time now to start to practice the self restriction…

And you got not much time for further delay... Otherwise 

What?

Asia will overgrow you 3 times, then they will play with you the mouse and the cat game… And they will have the same fantasy as you now, that they are the ruler of the World!

Think about it…

But lets go back a bit to some economy…

And let me have just a moment.

Once upon a time as a young economist I had a pleasure to have a session of economics with one of my professors… It was not a very ordinary place for lectures, but it happened. In a small pub behind our University… A wine pub… There were not many students, only those, who liked that cheap white wine…

Do you like this photo?   I love that Fiat from Poland – called “Polski Fiat” – an icon from our time of 70s and 80s…

So the professor said plenty of useful things… But one stays with me even now.

He said – there is no dead economy. 

Every economy works – this or that way. This is the nature of the economy. Any economy...

You must only find out what is the better way for the economy to work!

 

Hmmm… stop for a moment – don't you think this is the main question for anyone to find out? Or you think I am a bloody foul right? Together with that professor…

Since that day sometimes at early 1983 this idea made me obsessed… Do we know how to make the economy working better?

Are we sure, that all our American supermen want the economy to work better?


Or they just want to make sure that they always save someone... If there is no one to save, they will make sure to create a situation where they can. Am I right Mr. Superman?

What does it mean for an economy to work better?

Think about it… What does it mean better?

You must hate me, but I still will take you back in time… The time, when the first revolution happened – at least the first one we know about…

We go back for about 4.500 years… We shall take a look into the kingdom of the Sumerian city of Lagash. (Uhh sounds like goulash right?)

Here the king Lugalanda based his power on the church. The priests for many years have gained an extreme power and they also had control over the king himself. The priests also took over majority of the land and controlled every kind of business, like fishing or trading. They kept for themselves higher and higher portions of goods in form of taxes.

In the city of Lagash there was no money yet. People exchanged their goods. In Lagash the people lived very poorly. After sometimes the people turned against the priests and the king,. They have selected a new king.

Urukagina first replaced all the corrupt officials and priests. He also reduced the taxes and guaranteed the property.

We can regard Urukagina as the first economic reformer in the known history and also the first person freeing his own people and introducing a legal code for this purpose.

Urukagina’s reforms did not lived long, as after 8 years of rein Lugalzaggesi the ruler of Umma defeated him. And united the Mesopotamian states.

So what is the point on this first recorded economic problem?

It is simple…

Urukagina came to power due to the wrong way of re-distribution… Why he could not keep his new system longer?

We do not really know. But we can guess…

The economic system he built was good for the people, but was not efficient enough…

Lugalzagesi must have had a more efficient system. He not only could keep calm his own people, but he could manage to have a stronger army and better administration…

So what we need for a successful economy?

I will make you confused for a moment…

Nothing what you have seen as the economic indicators so often mentioned!

You need a proper system of redistribution and an efficiency growth…

Efficiency growth does not necessarily means nominal growth.. Right? So anything else is only fairy tales.

There is a prime minister in Small Sumerian land, who got the idea to reduce the costs of living for the people… However those costs are mainly market driven. So at the end of the day the infrastructure shall go down if we want to reduce those costs…

Next door to that country every other prime minister tries to increase the income for their people…

Which way you would choose?

And how you can increase the income of your people?

a/. Change the patterns of the re-distribution… take from wealthy and give to the poor… Or take from one wealthy and give to another wealthy?

I think this is not the best idea…

At least not the second one… By the way the poor will not finance your election campaign, so in a developing country they prefer to feed up their own wealthy, so they can help in any election outcome… It is also an ancient pattern... "panem et circenses"... It is cheaper to entertain the people by ideology and a bits of wealth, than to feed them properly... At least for sometimes...

So making fundamental changes in redistribution will take a lot of time and change in brain capacity to perform it… Lets see the other option...

b/. Make your economy more efficient…

Our today economic pattern is the growth… Yes, the growth can help many times… But the growth is something you cannot follow all the time…

You can hear often, that if the consumption does not go up, than the economy will be in trouble, than the Japanese and the Germans were the bad guys, as they like to save instead of spending…

My grandma said, “Easy money easy go”… So my fellow Americans it is time to think about the sentence of my Transylvanian grandma…

Until you do not learn the value of the money, you will always spend it easy… In fact you will spend always more, than you have earned…

And then you start to take that money from someone else, and then you need to have growth, to avoid the reduction of your consumption and to be able to repay your debt…

And if there is no growth, then you go bankrupt and you make sure others will also go bankrupt and at the end of the day all those guys, who landed you that extra money for you to spend over your capacity are the ones, who will pay your bills. And if not, than what?

Then you make all those troubles we were talking about at the first half of this blog…

You can call this a vicious circle… right?

No you do not need to call it so…

Especially not for those guys, like this old crazy guy – Donald Sterling… the old pervert, who hardly can open his mouth, but still talking bullshit and does not want to sell his Clippers for 2 billion dollars… It is not much money for a club, which he bought back in 80’s for 12,5 million.

Do you know why he does not want to sell that club?

That half dead guy does not like to pay taxes!!!!!

You know what is tax? It is the tool to operate an expensive administration and also in some rare places of the World is the tool to keep some acceptable level of living for your own population… You know, we called that redistribution right?

So as far as the reach do not like to pay taxes or in other word they do not like to share their wealth with the poor, we need to find another way around…

The moment we do not push the growth, we also do not stimulate the big fat bellies to grow among our nation. And we do not stimulate over spending in general…

So than how we can get out of this problem?

We stimulate the efficiency! And here we came back on point b/. of this post…

 

How we do so, I will let you think till next time…

And I hope there will not be more crisis situations, so I will not be all the time depressed of all this rubbish going on around our beautiful World…

 And sorry, I could not resist to present to you with Mme Sterling... Yes, the wife... 

Can you believe, that she can spend 2 billion in her remaining life?
