Default Re: The Seed of Economic Failure were Planted Long Ago

Yes, Mikill, I'll join you there is saying a deal with the devil was made. To increase profits deals with the devil have been the working philosophy of American business, now globalized. Globalization has spread the philosophy, and because this deal is accepted as "good business practice," there you have it -- we're all sold down the sewer, which is where all deals with the devil end up.

TDWTD (the deal with the devil) allows you to increase your profit without noiticing who or what is harmed. Without noticing, without caring. Something is always harmed. That's the deal. That's the selling of your soul right there. Modern business is always harming some "one", or harming the planet, which we have done for over 50 years with our new chemistries which do not blend in, fit in, or benefit any of the life on this planet. All our modern chemistry is harmful to life, but TDWTD lets everyone off the hook; it can't be helped. (BS on its face; part of the deal.)

Well, here we are. We haven't lived by a right path. We haven't honored the earth. We haven't cared about each other or life. We've bartered our soul, and here we are.

One can only hope that when it finally and completely crashes, something more sane will be built to replace it.
