THANK YOU SO MUCH for the link. Quite frankly, I do believe the global monetary system HAS TO CRASH AND BURN. Its momentum is so far beyond any tweaking of trajectory that a hard landing would seem to be the most merciful outcome. Either that or aliens descending with HUGE MAGNETS. :rofl:

Nearly a half century ago, as we studied Capitalism in 5th grade Social Studies, I remarked aloud that "success" depended on unlimited growth which seemed to me similar to cancer. The word CANCER was VERBOTEN and Ms. Houston threatened to send me to the principal's office. I'd ALREADY spent time there for remarking, after a "Duck and Cover" drill, that if a nuke was dropped on our school, we'd be burned to a crisp no matter what we did. Classmates cried, I was sent to be disciplined.

MONEY is a construct, much like race. Same shit, different day.
