Why are there human beings shooting up and shooting it up from sea to shining sea. Coast to Coast violence and tent cities in an economy that is "thriving" and never seen higher stock market numbers? The answer isn't simple and easy to see, and there is plenty of scape goating to be had. But if we sacracfice a virgin and some goats its not going to solve the problem. Besides, I am pretty sure there are not any virgins.
Below is a graph of the decline of the in buying power in the wages across our great land. That is the buying power that you are afforded with your labor.
In the graph above we see the adjusted payscale index of real wages. I noticed something..When you look at the next graph take note its an inversely proportional relationshit! Yup as the economic spending power goes to poo poo so does the people...
The people start dying. Why? Because the spending power in the money no longer packs that same dopamine punch that it used to. To be simple, my father could go to work in 1970, work an 8 hour day and in just three days at minimum wage he would be able to afford an ounce of gold. If he had a union job like existed back in the day he could do even better he would be afforded health care too. That was a real dopeamine rush to put a roof over the familys head and food on the table with just an eight hour day at minimum wage. Since you can not get that rush anymore might as well put a needle in the arm shoot up smack and eat your own feces until dead as the central banker capitalist would have it.
The central bankers; Printing up money like drunken sailors on shore leave. They start printing and adding to the debt creating a Ponzi Scheme that just can not be tappered. The only solution to the next crisis has been and will be to print new money and lots of it. Lets keep in mind the eight hour work day. That part didn't go away. The cost of living to purchase a gallon of milk, that didn't go down as the cows and land they grow on are finite.
In the next photo we see the debt graph. The debt goes up; the middle class pushed from their nice middle class home into tents and viola. This relationship should be pretty clear. You print up the money and create a violent drug addicted chaotic society that doestn't know what to believe anymore and is suspect of everything, and rememer no virgins around and the goats are hard to find. But at least those that needed it the most got a tax break and a lowered interest rate, and I got less punch to my money.
