(10,622 posts)21. So much poverty for so many - So much wealth for so few
The Game is nearly over, but the poor still have a few pennies left, one hopes that soon the rich will have those pennies and the poor will be no more. In the final round, the rich will have to eat the rind of their dying planet to extract whatever value might remain.

The last, wealthiest few, the wealthiest the world will have ever known will die winners, but what is the fucking prize?
