The New Normal: Making Up Your Mind For You
..."making a small group of the population richer while the much larger rest is made poorer, is how we define ‘recovery’, we have no recovery... the economic future for your entire families will look utterly bleak. Because that recovery they talk about? It’s not for you."Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/30/2015 - 08:58
Regarding
the major problem of the more domestic issue of economic recovery,
unless we would agree, which we really shouldn’t, that making a small
group of the population richer while the much larger rest is made
poorer, is how we define ‘recovery’, we have no recovery. But it is still accepted and proclaimed like a gospel: our economies are in recovery. If you take a step back and watch things from a distance, it’s truly too silly to be true, but endless repetition of the same lines, be they true or not, has them accepted as being cast in stone. It’s like selling detergent. Of course it doesn’t hurt that people very much want to believe a recovery is here. The
stories we are bombarded with 24/7 under the quite hilarious misnomer
‘News’ have been prepared, pre-cooked and pre-chewed for our smooth and
painless digestion, and as such they contain only tiny little flakes
of reality. They are designed to make us feel good, not understand the world around us. And, as Scott Minerd says,
the economic future for your entire families will look utterly bleak.
Because that recovery they talk about? It’s not for you.
