I just heard the most idiotic thing from an Occupy Wall Street proponent. He suggested that we should have two separate economies: the "easy stuff" economy and a "sports" economy.
The easy stuff economy would provide the basic necessities of life to all people for free. This includes food, shelter, clothing, and basic healthcare. You know. The "easy" stuff that we can do with little to no effort and our eyes closed.
The sports economy would be for the rich and elite to play with entertainment, gadgets, and other non-essential stuff. We can contain all the evil capitalists there so they can't take unfair advantage of the helpless masses.
This is so mind-numbingly idiotic, that I find it difficult to believe that this guy somehow manages to get dressed in the morning.
Who is going to pay for the easy stuff? Who's going to grow the food, harvest it, process it into food-like substances suitable for consumption by Wall Street Occupiers? Who's going to transport it, store it, stock it, serve it? All that stuff just happens magically? Or maybe he thinks we should raid Africa and build a new slave economy.
Who decides what is the easy stuff? What will be grown, where, and how? I'll tell you: Monsanto. The military industrial complex. The evil capitalist cabal that wants to starve all the poor people. That's who. (Sarcasm? Sort of.)
Seriously, it won't be you and me who makes these decisions, and I guarantee you, 100% absolutely, that somebody will be making them. All of this would have to be controlled by a central bureaucracy, which means rich people. Who controls the food-related bureaucracies now? Monsanto & company. Who will control the food-related bureaucracies in OWS Boy's rainbow utopia? Monsanto & company. This means there will be no food on the shelves. There will only be food-like substances, genetically modified, and heavily dosed with subtly toxic chemicals, because that's the "easy" way. At first, you'll be able to buy better food if you really want, but before long, that will become illegal. It's already largely illegal. Just try to buy raw milk from a local farmer. Those companies do not care about you. They do not care about your health, about the environment, or about social justice. They care about profit and control, and that's all they care about.
OWS Boy is typical of Bernie Sanders lemmings. They are easily manipulated pawns with the long-term, critical thinking skills of a mosquito. Promise them free rainbows and they'll gleefully castrate themselves and put bullets in the heads of anyone who uses unapproved language on Facebook.
