The Global Economic Crisis Arrives

 To quote World Economic Forum


"History shows that 40 years of neoliberal economic policy has led to growth – but it's come at the cost of rising inequality and a planet in the midst of a climate crisis."


This seems to be an admission of Guilt. Culpability.


Take out the linguistic legerdemain & you have


"Neoliberal economic policy led to rising inequality

& global warming crisis."


& you boast it

& are proud of it


In the West [Read US] the words

Inclusion, diversity, dignity, empowerment, sustainability,

are words used in a campaign of exploitation


The migrant crisis in the US leads to wrong question,

What are we going to do with the migrants?


The question should be what are we going to do for the migrants?


There are no plans for Education, training, Jobs, Inclusion.

As Merkel exploited the migrants for two purposes

Cheap Labour for Germany

Crush economies of satellite nations in Southern Europe


The migrants in the US are being exploited to disrupt

Cities, Housing, Education, & Health Care.


Evil minds sowing misery with sweet words & false promises.

The Unfinished Fable


The Unfinished Fable:

Belling the Cat, by Aesop


In the fable, Belling the Cat, The mice decided

the best protection from the cat would be to hang a bell

around the cat's neck. Then they could hear the cat

coming & flee to safety.


All the mice cheered.


Then, one mouse asked, "Who is going to hang the bell

around the cat's neck?


The mice went silent.


That fable is incomplete.


In my retelling, an older mouse rises & says,

"I will hang the bell around the cat's neck."


And all the mice cheer.


Then, one mouse cries out,

"How are we going to pay for the bell?"


And the mice go silent again.


Then, the older mouse says, "I will take charge of

finding the money to pay for the bell"


And the mice cheer again.


Then the older mouse formed a committee


Soon, no mice were left & the issue became moot.


Best of luck.


Best wishes,


Regards


Bob
