We'll have to become a service economy taking care of each other

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

You'll have to mow my lawn and I'll have to pay you 50 bucks

I'll have to cook for your elderly mother and you'll pay me 25 bucks.

If you mow enough lawns and if I cook for enough elderly mothers we can say screw you to the big corporations who don''t want us, our labor or our money anyway.

And we'll all probably be a lot happier.

1. We pretty much just sell each other cell phones already.

But if you don't feel well enough, I'll mow your lawn for free.

2. The passing of peak oil production has assured that sort of trade

will be manifest so we may as well get used to it.

4. Throughout history cycles repeat, we're in a depression for many, other names

are used. On the global happiness scale, the US sure does not soar to the top, that's for sure. I was in the corp. environment my whole life, but anymore they are out to screw everyone. I think we're headed the way you describe like it or not.

Most of the US is going to be in one huge herd of serfs. That's the way the real power brokers of the US want it... nickle and dime labor. Only a fool can't see what's happening and zillions are going to be sucked up into this sooner or later.

5. We need CONgress to reign in the Tycoons and Banksters...

Like they did with Standard Oil and the Railroads and the Banksters since the 1800's.

Of course.. it can't happen now.. because all of CONgress is on the corporate payroll.

If you let the Banksters and Monopoly Tycoons run rampant.. they will destroy everything they touch in their manic greedy quest for power and money.

40 years of Reagonomics... we are seeing the result.
