I think it was Alan Greenspan who once bragged that his lengthy, convoluted explanations were necessary because of the complexity of the subject ...or some such idiotic bs. Right. God forbid the common man and woman would understand the simple truth of real economics and how it affects their daily lives.

What is old is new. Notice how base crude human behavior -- selfishness, greed, violence -- is always couched in overly complex terms to obscure how absolutely destructive it is, not only to the person but to society writ large. And how destructive it is to the progress of human evolution on a grand scale. Indeed, our very survival now hangs in the balance because of the adverse behavior of billionaire narcissists. Aren't we all so sick and tired of the likes of Trump, Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos, et al dominating the headlines and, on one level or another, nearly every aspect of our daily struggle just to live?
Alas, a bag of silver is the one true god we all seem to worship. In the old days, kings and queens in gilded castles lorded over their lowly subjects with the power that comes from ill-gotten wealth at the point of a sword; nowadays, it's the "morbidly rich" flying around in private jets from mansion to mansion who plunder the land and rape the people, bilking their workers and customers alike -- the pinnacle of success on planet Earth.
We are all so royally screwed! The end is nigh, peasants! Wake up and rise up before it's too late. Storming the castle with pitchforks and torches is not the answer. Violence begets violence. No, the only way out of this rich-man dystopian nightmare is for as many people as possible to hang on to the simple truth of things beyond all the bs -- and vote accordingly! Then hold OUR representatives accountable. It's a race against time.
