Are these writers not embarrassed? They write these insipid articles as if we just woke from our opiate, incapable of remembering the GreedyBastardTech^TM crisis of 8 or 9 years ago and the GreedyBastardS&L^TM crisis from 8 or 9 years before that, and what was before that which we had to slow thru, that thing with Bush I that was stagnation for growing companies (at least it taught me how to game the system to prepare ourselves for the next one) and what GreedyBastardWar^TM was before that...was it Reagan's destruction of the last few things that we held good at the alter of his puppet masters greed and wasn't capitalism failing (Beat Inflation Now; We don't take gold anymore, sorry) for Nixon until we found the right material for a stake to put in his heart so that would actually take him out of our misery.

That's the extent of what I've witnessed in my life in business, but certainly there were other failures of capitalism before that and after That GreatOne. And I have seen lists that show that the trend is similar from after the American Civil War through to then.

Now, I'm not a CentralControl person, for we have proved that we don't have the algorithms for that either, but what is it about capitalism that it gets revered? when most of us are only a few generations from being out of the freaking mines? Maybe because it accommodates more GreedyBastards^TM per capital suck, and more variations on GreedyBastardTechnology^TM.

It doesn't work!!! It needs to get bailed out!!!! Often!!!!

Admit to the need and build the bail-outs into the system, or neuter the greedy bastards who continuously make it go wrong, or declare the greedy bastard of the year as winner, reset the capital clock and start a new game so we don't have to let it get out of hand and destroy people future and daily lives.
