if laws are changed so to deny unaccountability and moral hazard to those who have proven to be irresponsible and greedy, then old models could continue to provide enough growth to preclude social chaos, provided the attitudes to distribution of wealth were profoundly re-schematised. it's the imbalance that makes it not fly right.
what has to stop is the macbethian trilogy of ambition, greed and disaster that characterises the present system.
the low info masses are a slumbering giant, and they don't even know how giant they are.
like gulliver tied down by thousands of threads!
one day, enough people will have enough information to shout down the wurlitzer, till then we watch the lies becoming ever more distorted, as the supercons effort to present a narrative that resembles anything plausible or even rational.
the whole game for them is how best to realise their fantasy of the good old days before people so easily shared information seen as seditious by People In Power. they try to squeeze today into yesterday's models, and it isn't working...

you never know where the wave will break, right now it looks like the dairy farmers are getting pretty p'o'd.

it just needs enough sparks, the tinder pile is sure dry enough.
personally i earnestly hope people find an unequivocally peaceful way to _protest, but the numbers have to be truly massive for that. my fear is that there'll be hotheads who precipitate things before there is enough groundswell to do it peacefully.
it reminds me of talking down a group of hostage takers to surrender, with the hostage in this case being the world economy. we've sent them in a tarp full of food, now we need some masterful psychology to make them see resistance is futile and only amplifies their demise.
microsoft's chief exec is on tv saying he doesn't expect recovery and we're going to be 'bumping along the bottom' for a 'significant amount of time, years...'
gee thanks! ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." Karl Jung~
That being said, I wonder if Michael Moore is Thomas Paine, and his movie the "Common Sense" of our day. I wish he had gone into the history of unions more because I think that would be really inspirational. Basically, the message of the movie is Corporations: who are these people and how did they manage to take over our government?
I hope a few of them will be motivated to scrape up the $10 to go see the movie soon.
