The link below will take you to my latest article which looks into the cost of failing to plan long-term and goes on to question if "collectively" mankind is incompetent. The fact that we can not seem to get our act together is strongly linked to the policies under which we live.<br /><br />http://brucewilds.blogspot.com/2014/12/does-peter-principle-apply-to-mankind.htmlBruce Wildshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10181323607060607040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992740250270600844.post-61968982452838950152014-10-31T04:30:36.957-07:002014-10-31T04:30:36.957-07:00Janet Yellen complaining about income inequality i...Janet Yellen complaining about income inequality is ironic. Elites steal purchasing power from average people by giving new money to their club members. And the sheep think it is done for the common good. Sheep will never wake up. Prepare yourself for the collapse. Elites can drag this show longer than you think and outsiders won't know when the floor crumbles.Your Rupeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08951347144826155244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992740250270600844.post-65566373915539285082014-10-29T20:20:37.695-07:002014-10-29T20:20:37.695-07:00It is income and wealth inequality the much discus...It is income and wealth inequality the much discussed topic everywhere. <br /><br />If we go back to the times of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' and look forward, we, human beings, have made a lot of progress as a society. There is no more slave trading. And we are sure of not repeating Holocaust. It took time to reduce the perceived social, racial inequality though it is not completely gone. Now it is economic inequality.<br /><br />Crony capitalism is the tool employed to maintain the distance in classes now. But the effect of it too will reduce as the awareness spreads and forces unite to fight against it. Initial attempts like 'Occupy Wall Street' may not yield desired results but the fight has begun, though it does not appear on the surface.Anand Maraladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11046900443858048530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992740250270600844.post-16868942829324236922014-10-28T15:11:57.612-07:002014-10-28T15:11:57.612-07:00It seems to me that the workings of the stock mark...It seems to me that the workings of the stock market - why it rises and falls - is rather secretive.<br />I assume more money goes in than comes out for the math to raise the market, but who are some of these characters investing in the market? Could one of them be the Federal Reserve?<br />Don LevitDon Levithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497731736648561272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992740250270600844.post-24549070948556088622014-10-28T08:40:54.979-07:002014-10-28T08:40:54.979-07:00You are on to something but is it the .01% they ar...You are on to something but is it the .01% they are protecting or the larger army of government employees and retirees across the country? The mass of reliable supporters who's jobs never seem to disappear out from under them, even during so called cuts, and who's pensions depend on 8% projected returns on investments to remain viable.<br /><br />With a soaring market those funds appear to be much more adequately funded than they would if equities were not in a bubble.<br /> PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.com
