This just in: Microsoft to layoff 18,000 employees (20% of the workforce). Because $22 billion in annual profits is not enough.
More Is Never Enough

This has all been "fun". I started this blog back in early 2007 at the peak of that insanity. Like now, I knew without doubt that it would all meltdown with extreme dislocation, and I wasn't "disappointed".
The same old psychopaths
Then when 2008 rolled into 2009, a new Mickey Mouse President was elected in place of the last one, so perhaps I was naive to be astounded that the exact same psychopaths were still running the show. That fucking South Park Nation had done it again. Defied reality. Those dumpster diving sociopaths had somehow managed to rescue Ponzi Capitalism, all because Bernankenstein was a "student of the Depression". I have to admit, more than your average Frat boy dumbfuck, the Bennie Bernank does understand that extreme deflation was going to implode the debt ponzi. Inflation is the friend of a debtor, whereas extreme deflation is the mortal enemy.
Still, here we are a mere six years later, watching the exact same psychopaths plunging us straight back into the abyss all over again. What a total waste this has all been - in money, in time. In life really.
The zombies at large don't mind, because they equate their "lives" as corporate batteries, with buying, owning, getting, watching, eating, consuming. This planet and life itself is totally wasted on them. Literally. Fortunately, they bought a few billion rounds of ammunition and a few million assault rifles during these past several years, so it's only a matter of time before they figure out how those work. Darwin versus South Park. I predict a one-sided victory. Of course, for the ones who have chosen from their infotainment menu, not to "believe" in Darwin, then it makes the outcome that much more ironic.
This has all been an "interesting" experiment, I suppose.
