everyone around me seems to think that the economy is picking up … or rather it seems like its showing signs of recovery and all …
but i really beg to differ … each time i read the news, i remind myself what i witnessed .. and some how as termed in the current week issue of Time magazine that ‘main street and wall street is not able to see eye to eye’
somehow.. how can all the problems that came from a build up over the years just resolve in 1 year? how is that ever possible?
how is it possible that things can be better when the guys at wall street still continue in their system in drawing high pays and overspending … and in fact not even knowing shit about how the economy really runs .. taking tax payers money -through government funds- … losses take some more.. bailout bailout.. gains just contribute to their bonus …i guess the system seems to work for the rich – rich getting richer, poor getting poorer .. middle class oddly sticking out either becoming poorer or richer …what is our world coming to? are we all so greed focus and not learn from the crash last year … and not realising that our greed and the failure of a capitalist system that completely facilitates this .. is going to bring about our own doom …
it is really appalling.. and scary i think the direction to which we are heading towards .. unless there is a revolution.. a change in the structure of this system.. otherwise.. i really cant imagine … adding on to this the myth of meritocracy ..
human nature that we are all selfish beings on this earth.. its always the case of i guess it depends on which side of the situation are you at …
but to some extent i guess its good everyone thinks its getting better … i just hope we all dont go into a state of deflation.. that would be the worst.. like how japan has been since decades agoo … goshh… that would really be quite a hard psychological fair to overcome …
oh wells.. just my thoughts on the economy.. hahaa i also dont really think i am in a position to comment much but oh wells… i hope i manage to find an organization to work with during christmas or something .. ;p
have a great weekend ahead!
