  • The deadly problem in agriculture is not insects, disease, soil erosion or chemicals. Something much more sinister lurks that no agricultural publication or university will dare speak of. It is the the food cartel, they know to the penny how much it costs to produce any commodity. They fix prices below that of production costs. Farmers have been unwittingly turned into surfs the world over. Their children see this and refuse to work in agriculture.

    This will soon cause massive food shortages.

  • @archdeaconj The deregulations of the banking industry has brought about a "tulipmania" in various investment ponzi schemes, namely derivatives and various hedge funds turning the world monetary system into a failed gambling casino. Money that must be used for physically productive enterprises and R&D is instead diverted into this failed speculation frenzy.

  • @charkee1 That's right. With all this extra labour we are not producing more of those goods and services which contribute towards 'standard of living' but less. Our standard of living has actually been going down slightly for some time, though GDP has risen. What we're doing more of is cleaning up pollution, advertising, shifting money around and so on, all of which count as GDP. You say this has resulted from the transition from a physical to a virtual economy. Can you expand on this?

  • @AldCastillo Why what?

  • Why?

  • @archdeaconj We are not becoming more productive. The physical products required on a per capita basis has been going downhill since around 1968. This is because the banksters are drying up the physical economy for the sake of a virtual economy. In other words, let them eat derivitives and software.

  • It's odd, isn't it. Even with all the labour-saving new technology - automated factories and computers - and women now having virtually doubled the work force, we are working not shorter hours but longer and more productive hours, grinding ourselves into the ground 'multi-tasking' and 'working under pressure' just to earn a living. What is even odder is that nobody ever asks why?

  • This might be funny if your IQ is 50 or lower.

  • lol

  • Exactly. It's a joke.
