The world has over a thousand multibillionaires. These people conspire with each other to expand free trade, increase government debts and eliminate capital from banking systems. All reforms must pass their inspection and anything curbing their astronomical accumulation of wealth is nixed whereas anything that increases it is shoved forwards. The result is an international banking collapse, a government debt crisis in nearly all first world countries and increasing violence at the bottom of society.
Very few of those living in the old paradigm of consumption, debt, and 40-hour work weeks will be able to maintain this lifestyle over the coming decade.
Nearly four years after the financial collapse of 2008 the majority of global economic indicators in America, Europe and China are suggesting that the situation has worsened, not moved into a recovery phase. What we’ve seen so far in terms of the vaporization of wealth, the destruction of jobs and the impoverishment of millions of once middle-class families is but the opening salvo in a world-wide depression that is sure to change the presumptions we have about global economic and geo-political stability.
Can't even get a handle on it's tuberculosis outbreak....;}
You expectin them to force a USSAbp solution?
Florida accused of concealing worst tuberculosis outbreak in 20 years By Muriel Kane Sunday, July 8, 2012 18:57 EDT
"“The high number of deaths in this outbreak emphasizes the need for vigilant active case finding, improved education about TB, and ongoing screening at all sites with outbreak cases,” the CDC report urged.
Now the strain has not only spread beyond the underclass but has started appearing in other parts of the state, including Miami.
The Republican legislator who was the motive force behind the health department consolidation, Rep. Matt Hudson, told the Post on Friday that he was unaware of both the outbreak and the CDC warning. When filled in by a reporter, he promised that as chairman of the House Health Care Appropriations Committee he would see to it that there was funding for TB treatment.
That treatment will not come cheap. The drugs to treat a simple case of TB cost only $500, but if a patient does not take them regularly and the strain becomes drug-resistant, the cost skyrockets to $275,000. And, as the Post notes, “the itinerant homeless, drug-addicted, mentally ill people at the core of the Jacksonville TB cluster are almost impossible to keep on their medications.”
