ie, are women [generally - hillary clinton, margaret thatcher excepted] free from mad limitless greed for money and power, and limitless ego to justify it?

would women generally have the sense to realise that extreme wealth-power and extreme poverty-powerlessness could only be very very very bad for absolutely everyone?

the matriarchal cretan empire had 3000 years of peace and plenty [according to flinders-petrie, the great archeologist of crete] - matriarchy enables sexual freedom for male and female [since the women share the burden of children] which probably prevents pentup frustrated explosive violent sexual energy

has patriarchy become decadent, destructive, insane, and will we see a global shift back to matriarchy, sense and constructiveness?

in crete everyone had multiroom homes, which was not seen in the patriarchy till 16th C

would women have the sense to see that no one can earn a billion times as much pr hr as another worker [as some men think]? - or not?

univeral misery and millenia-long escalation of war and weaponry to nuclear extinction [soon] - ie, do we have to stop these legal thefts in order to survive and be happy [peace]?

can we determine the point of maximum fortune beyond which fortunes are from legal thefts, ie are overfortunes, thefts, injustices?

1] workvalue of transaction items cannot be equal, ie, must be x and x+y, therefore transaction must be fair-trade-no-robbery [x for x] plus legal theft = y

2] buy land, do nothing, others build city round land, landowner gets the net capital gain [after costs of owning the land] - eg, waldorfs [manhattan], westminsters [london]

3] new technology - built-in high demand/low supply - [everyone wants one, industry gearing up] - owners profit without work

4] rich can afford more stockmarket info - so do better - so stockmarket pumps money from less informed to better informed [eg, film, trading places]

5] 100% of workers build nation - the 10% stock owners reap all

what is sacrifice? i can only think it is longer hours of work, less leisure, less time with family - but world average hours of work are circa 60 hours [homemakers 70-90 hours, third world longer hours than first world] so longer hours can be at most 60% more ie, 1.6 times average work, but maximum fortune is 5,000,000,000 times median fortune

risk: is this a sacrifice? the business person risks a sprat to catch a mackerel - is it sense to pay fishermen for doing what they do? they risk a sprat out of selfinterest - do we pay goldprospectors for risking? i guess we do, sort-of - rightly or wrongly, we let them keep the mackerel, if they are lucky - but we dont pay them for risk - if they dont find gold, we dont pay them for losing the sprat - is it just, and fair to others, to pay them unlimited mackerel, if they strike gold? - remember money is power, so they take political democratic power from others, as well as get overpaid for their sacrifice -

fortune prop to educ?

Why when the U.S complains about crude oil prices to OPEC they say they have no control because it's a globally traded item, but then when gas prices get to low for them they cut production to increase the cost? And, would someones God tell them to blow themselves up with the intention of killing others?

Why can't wet countries with too much water provide it for dry places? Apart from nationalistic and competitive reasons, are there any environmental or climatic dangers inherent in such a project? Are there any truly compelling reasons why we cannot manage our water better? What are the economics of such an idea?

My wife and I both work. We both have good jobs and comparable salaries. There are people on our block that have 1 family member working and that bring home 1/3 or what we do. They have 2 brand new SUVs in their garage, bigger homes, and nicer landscaped yards. We drive sedans that are 6 years old and buy our kids clothes at Walmart. Why do we feel like the poorest people on the block?

From an Article:

Poppin' open bottles of Cristal has been a staple of rap videos for the last several years. But, last week Cristal exec Frederic Rouzaud said the brand is trying to distance itself from the rap community:

"(It's) unwelcome attention. What can we do? We can't forbid people from buying it. I'm sure Dom Perignon or Krug would be delighted to have their business."

i think that to think that there was no extreme wealth in russia is to confuse formal wealth and effective wealth, ie, paper wealth and real wealth

stalin had all the power, had effective ownership of all russian land and people - he could not have murdered millions of russians if he was not extremely powerful, ie had control and use of more money than others

effective wealth, real wealth, is in the use and control of wealth

sold to the russian people as egalitarian, propeople, just [and apparently swallowed by a lot of americans as egalitarian - perhaps by many more americans than russians], communist russia was dictatorship, fascism, tyranny, state terrorism, banditry, giant theft

did you know mussolini took most of his manifesto from the communists? - merely sweetener to make the medicine of slavery go down

that's what i think - am i wrong?
