Decline: A Carrot And A Stick

The movement of global finance can only be decline and the fixed amount of 'money' just redistributed amongst the ever-growing population. Never increased. The carrot to entice greater effort is called Growth. But the enormous stick-of-the-day is the 'austerity package'. The perceived importance of offsetting inflation is to acquire more 'money'. This is not possible since inflation increases at a greater rate than personal income.

The only other 'growth' is that of debt. Probably the real 'growth'. The illusion of everything getting better, but with the consequence of inflation, this can never happen. Decline with an illusion of 'growth'. How can something that cost a few shillings or less twenty years ago, now cost several pounds? Wages go up and everything costs more. The effect: nothing gained. When costs go up and wages do not keep up with the rises, decline must happen. Austerity attempts to cloak and deceive. Government continues to 'borrow' more and more £billions every month. The real question that should be asked: where do all these £billions come from? Where is this huge pot of money? It's a theoretical debt.

£Trillions

There is no 'money'. How could such borrowings be verified? They can't. It's all taken on trust. After all, a governments don't lie to the people. Of course not. They are made up of honest, decent people.

As the population increases, the amount of wealth does not increase. The rich can skim off some of this wealth to increase their 'take'. This simply leaves less to spread around the growing population. Everyone else who is not wealthy must therefore become poorer. The redistribution principle.

Essentials involve energy and food. Energy is necessary for heating. Petrol is an essential for powering the device that itself has become irreplaceable.

Everything devolves to 'making money'. It has long been the only 'reason for living'. A man-made concept/device as the reason for life? That's absolutely absurd. Whatever the reason for living may be it is certainly not to make money. Life came thousands of millennia before 'money'.

It is the current 'god'. To die for. Crazy logic.

Modern thinking (majority) is that if you fail to amass personal wealth then you are considered a... failure. That is as ridiculous a concept as money being the 'reason for living'.

It makes for an ironic epitaph on the grave of the human race.
