while trying to eliminate risk through derivatives and other financial scams.

Invest in a startup industry? Are you mad? If their product doesn't take off, they could LOSE.

And they've stripmined so much money away from labor and the middle class that no product is going to take off, they've made sure of that. And they've bought the government off to make sure it stays this way.

Demand is the engine that drives any economy and wages are the fuel. We're not living with a viable economy any more. We're living with bare subsistence. Soon we'll have to go to barter.
