The globalized economy is a colossal Ponzi Scheme in which the vast majority survive on the bread crumbs falling off the table. The possibility of 7 billion people achieving a consumption-oriented lifestyle is zero, so the World Bank conveniently set the poverty line at $1.25/day to legalize global slavery. As long as someone else's children are doing the suffering, it's "all good". Post-2008, this illusion was extended merely by plundering all future generations.

Manic Empire: Third World Democracy
Violence is a cash money business. And killing foreigners is a tradition. It helps them find a better life. In Europe...
"Mass killing is like shopping on Thanksgiving. It's a tradition"
"Another problem solved"
Syrian nation building: By Lockheed Martin
"Enjoy your new life in Germany. Thank us later"

"Rome seeks its own glory, wars against other peoples to subjugate them, revels in material existence, lives off the work of slave labor, allows many to die of poverty and starvation, and promotes entertaining circuses and gladiator spectacle. "
When Prices Go To Zero, Jobless "Consumers" Will Benefit
The age of "free trade" aka. corporate arbitrage, is over. Don't tell anyone, it's still a secret. Why spoil the surprise?
When prices go to zero:
Profits will go to zero
Fake wealth will go to zero
Official "Unemployment" will go to zero
Employment will go to zero
Econo-dunces who actually believe there exists an entity called "consumer" will be bankrupt
And the streets will burn like the fourth of July
All because "free trade" is not free. But don't tell anyone, because they haven't figured it out yet...
Game of dunces visualized:
"I thought it was odd that everyone retired at the same time"
"includes both employed (employees and self-employed) and unemployed people, but not the economically inactive, such as pre-school children, school children, students and pensioners."
"At the end, there comes a generation that is so fucking dumb, that they lay themselves off for special dividends"
