An Imaginary Economy: End-Game For The Idiocracy

There Goes Trucking: 59% Drop in Heavy Truck Orders

The Idiocracy can't create an economy, because they don't even know what the fuck an economy is...contrary to EconoDunce central belief, there's no such thing as a "jobless consumer" and hence there's no such thing as *free trade*...





In the future, we are told, there will be self-driving trucks to bring merchandise to consumers

There will be drones dropping Amazon packages on consumer doorsteps

There will be robots flipping burgers in place of low wage indolents


However, unfortunately, for the Idiocracy, there will be no consumers. There will only be bankrupt corporations and the bankrupt tools who invested in them.


In a real economy, supply = demand

Under Globalization, supply = Overinvestment at 0%, followed soon after by "holy fuck, we're going bankrupt"...
