There's a damn good reason these fuckers want every penny of the average Joe invested into the markets. Because they are going to take that money and turn it into tangible wealth, most notably dirt, lots and lots of land, that will survive under their network of fiefdom's maintain their self worth while the world crumbles around them, or so they think. These fuckers are setting themselves and THEIR children for the shit storm that's coming. Fat Cat corporations aren't stupid and they know, they've run the numbers, their little geeks in their basements have shown them the truth before being silenced.
The bottom line is no economy of scale, no political system of ANY kind other than full on Anarchy is going to survive the coming climate disaster, the coming complete poisoning of this planets ecosystem and the complete demise of the human race as a top predator/species due to uncontrolled overpopulation. Every single one of those things are highly probable, and most likely not reversible, over the next 25 to 75 years and are going to come almost all at the same time. I may sound like some crazy street side "The End is Near" dirty footed fruitcake but I'm here to tell you, we have passed the tipping point. And these FatCat Fucks know it more than ever. The less they tell people they know the less competition they have for their little kingdoms.
Investing in our future has 0, nothing, zilch to do with money and everything to do with learning, and teaching our kids and grandkids, HOW to survive the ugliness that is coming.
I was told by an Anthropology professor back in the late 80's, 9 billion people. That's it, there's no turning back. 9 billion and the planet is toast for humans. I think she was right.
