Citigroup Plutocracy memos

3. This deserves an ass-load of recs!!!!

The plutocrats know that there are limits to what they can do before people revolt. They are trying to find ways to allow the trend to keep going without the backlash, but I think that's just not possible. Yeah, they managed to (mostly) squash Occupy, but the feelings of resentment are still out there and will persist.

the main reason to innovate and provide cheaper stuff is to keep the masses thinking that they can still get things and be part of the economy. So buy another iPhone, get a bigger TV, and watch Friends 5 days a week instead of getting angry. It's a lot easier. The American Dream is actually just a carrot that will be forever just out of reach.

I seriously wonder whether the almost daily shootings at malls or schools is in part (or mostly) driven by a seething desperation that people don't quite know they're feeling. I think the plutocrats prefer that than to allow Occupy to put a name on it and direct the rage to where it need to go, namely them.
