Merged A Thread for AlexPontik to Explain his Ideas

It’s about how much effort it is to spend money and if it becomes even more effort it just won’t be worth it anymore.

Why? Because either:

1.The economists are saying that the economy is working, when it is working for the benefit of the general population.

or...

2.The economists are saying that the economy is working, when it isn't working for the benefit of the general population.

You missed two more:-

3.The economists are saying that the economy isn't working, when it is working for the benefit of the general population.

4.The economists are saying that the economy isn't working, when it isn't working for the benefit of the general population.

The Economy Isn’t Working. That’s Exactly the Plan.
Inequality is reaching feudal proportions, where very few own almost everything, and everyone else is crushed under the wheel of engineered destitution.

The reason everybody is so angst-ridden about the economy is because we all have the wrong idea about what it is supposed to do and how it’s supposed to work.

Most of us have a quaint, 19th century idea about free markets and all that up-by-the-bootstraps Horatio Alger stuff. You know, work hard, play by the rules, keep your nose clean, and you’ll do well. That is certainly the cultural myth our society bathes us in.

But that’s not how things actually work. It’s the dissonance between how we imagine things work and how they really work that causes our perplexity and angst, and rage...

The mythical story was that if we all gave more of our money to the already wealthy, they would invest it for us and the resulting economic boom would more than pay back the transfer, even after taxes and inflation. It sounded too good to be true. It was...

It’s a cliché, but like so many cliches, it is grounded in reality. The rich are getting richer and everyone else is getting poorer. That is exactly the plan, and the plan is working exactly as intended.

Could someone read the OP and summarise it for me?

Yes, when the OP says:

When most in the economy say that the economy if fun for few only, whatever way the economy goes, it is not a waste of time and effort for most if it happens again and again, or most don’t want to do something else, but if this is the way the economy goes…

What he really means is:

Learning the nature of the OP's body of work sounds like the definition of a waste of time to me.

This is what I am trying to explain to you all that you don't really have to spend time and effort with me, cause...

...do you really have to?

(p.s. yes, I do...)
 
I've been trying to make some sense, and think it has something to do with funny money. Or that girls just like to have fun. Or perhaps, as the old Mad Magazine marginal note went: it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide.

Yes,. that is right, we do not have to spend time and effort with you, and I am sure glad this is so!

Yes, that is right, you (and only you) do have to spend time and effort with yourself - and I think most of us feel sympathy and sorrow for you. It must suck to have to spend so much time and effort with you, when you can't hold on to a coherent thought, when you cannot structure your ideas in any meaningful way.

So ... my sympathies! Have you seen your doctor already and done a test such as 3MS, MoCA or CognICA? I sense symptoms such as disruption in thought patterns, difficulties with language, and I would not take that lightly.
