Reply #2: It's "pretend" stupid, not the real thing.

Our economic woes - and THEIR economic boontimes - are happening according to plan. The endgame is: cut off revenue and the programs it funds which keep "useless eaters" alive...which leads to the elimination of a few million people so fewer (probably mostly affluent white suburbanite) people and the already wealthy "chosen few" can survive and share what resources are left. They can always sell their products to foreign markets, remember. As long as CEOs can act convincingly "jeez, how did that happen?!" puzzled by the whole thing, no one will ever call them on it - certainly not NPR.

It's already happening, it's not paranoia, and we better start preparing for what happens after the tent cities get razed.
