Sustainability
 

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." - Frederic Bastiat</p>
<h2>Business Ethics vs Sustainability</h2>
<p>The concept of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login is usually a self-serving approach to marketing. </p>
<p>Some people would rather make money dishonestly than honestly, getting satisfaction out of screwing people over (hi Andy), but gray is a broad spectrum. To focus on "ethics" is to allow relative justifications &amp; miss the broader issues. </p>
<p>Likewise, additional layers of complexity promoting more rules &amp; incentives over wisdom ultimately destroys the skills and will to develop legitimate leadership.</p>
<iframe width="560" height="349" src="You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><p>
Rather than adding additional layers of complexity, what we should ask is:</p>
<p>"Is what we are doing sustainable, or is it not?" </p>
<p>That which can not be sustained won't.</p>
<h2>Eradicating <strike>Poverty</strike> Opportunity</h2>
<p>As the world has grown richer poverty should eventually disappear, however You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login. The public claims from the US of supporting &amp; spreading democracy are inconsistent with You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login. "The Obama administration pressured Haiti not to raise its minimum wage to 61 cents an hour." </p>
<p>How is THAT for left-leaning altruistic behavior?</p>
<p>While funding a large imperial army that You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login (and You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login) the government also helps bankers grift a large % of GDP through outright malicious fraud (which is never prosecuted). To embed that much corruption into the core of a political system you can only really have "democracy" over here so long as you fund exploitation elsewhere.</p>
<p>However, even that system of imperialism seems to be falling apart as Dollar depreciation not only You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, but You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login. The "recovery" You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login as we collectively as a society You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login:</p>

<p>The structural problems is that way to much of our productivity (and all our increased productivity in the past 3 decades) is going to the investor class. Any solution to our structural problems must, therefore, contain an element of redistributing wealth from rich to poor and middle class people. </p>

<h2>Wearing Political Blinders?</h2>
<p>One thing I like about SEO is it forces you to view systems &amp; attempt to understand ecosystems. If you don't learn many valuable lessons about society the online market is so competitive that it can &amp; will wipe you out.</p>
<p>Some market purists might cringe at the word "redistribution" but ultimately covering the losses of the banking class was exactly that. Except it worked counter to the free-market ideology those same bankers preach to everyone else.</p>
<p>I have been called right leaning &amp; I have been called left leaning. But I see both "labels" as missing the broader point of what happens in reality. When a right wing president was in charge the bankers were allowed to commit endless crime without punishment. Based on disgust toward that fraud a left wing president was elected one the promise of hope &amp; change. He then proceeded to screw the general public while fellatiating the banking class. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login.</p>
<h2> Money &gt; Human Life</h2>
<p>One thing I question the legitimacy of is why capital gains are taxed at a lower rate than normal wages. Is a person's blood, sweat &amp; tears worth less than compounding interest on money? There is some theory that the capital markets are more efficient if they are taxed lower &amp; that makes the rest of society more efficient, but that theory fell flat on its face when the US government shoveled trillions of Dollars into the banks &amp; none of the bankers went to jail (even though some of them have stated before congress that You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login). </p>
<h2>Go Long Fraud, The Government Is!</h2>
<p>You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login</p>
<p>AIG was nearly bankrupted from insuring mortgage-backed securities that were misrepresented (which was, of course, yet again, fraud &amp; thus illegal). AIG, facing bankruptcy, was not allowed access to a taxpayer-funded bailout You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login which destroyed their company. What dirtbag in government decided that AIG (and taxpayers) should have their rights waved so that they can funnel money into criminal banking enterprises? Does it matter that You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login?  </p>
<p>If a certain class of individual is inherently destabilizing, then why (other than fraud) do we keep "doubling down" on hoping that group of people will eventually change their approach (even as we shield them from the negative consequences of their own actions by making everyone else foot the bill)? </p>
<p>We block them off from the market feedback mechanisms we pride ourselves on pushing on everyone else. Yet if their failure causes anyone else to fail  we claim that it was a combination of  "free market forces" and an individuals lack of performance that is to blame for their own plight. </p>
<p>Sure You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, but when one industry goes down another rises up. Not with the banking fraud though, it is just an across-the-board kick in the nuts to almost every non-banker at the exact same time. Since our monetary system is a debt-based system, one person's savings is backed by another person's debt, thus most people are *required* to live pretty close to paycheck to paycheck. Yet it is considered totally reasonable for the Federal Reserve to destroy their store of wealth AND their ability to earn You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login:</p>

<p>Deflation and outsourced jobs is creating a loss of purchasing power at the bottom and middle income strata. Housing wealth destruction and job stability are exacerbating this.</p>
<p>MEANWHILE in monetary land….inflation is being injected into the system by the Fed who lend money to rich people who then buy commodities, driving up prices, who buy bonds which lower savings rates and borrowing costs, and stocks which drives down dividend yields and increases cap gains.</p>

<p>That hand is *anything* but invisible. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login &amp; anyone who does is one or more of the following</p>
<ul><li>ignorant
</li><li>a liar</li></ul><p>Since those who lost trillions of Dollars through You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login can't accept the "free market" forces that they suggest everyone else should be subject to, the only solution is "more debt, please." </p>

The same banking criminals who caused the mess are paid interest to loan the government its own money, so that the banks may "earn" their way out of the bankruptcies they earned through their fraudulent activities. </p>
<h2>2 Groups of Citizens, 2 Books of Law</h2>
<p>Some bankers were You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to rip off the government. Those who they committed bribery with are now in jail. The bankers once again have nobody in jail, even though they were engaged in the exact same crimes!</p>
<p>Those same bankers got a slap on the wrist You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login &amp; then commit perjury before the courts by You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to replace the ones they had to destroy to hide their mortgage fraud. </p>
<p>If we are intellectually honest, how is it that a person can go to jail for using a fairly soft drug like weed when the people who push hundreds of billions of Dollars of drug money (tied to much harder drugs &amp; global violence) go unpunished?</p>
<p>But the drug money isn't enough.</p>
<p>Now they are trying to figure out how to steal social security funds that already withdrawn from you check into the abyss. The You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login and austerity are already so obvious that You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login:</p>
<ul><li>burglary

<p>There is no commodity in the world that is as commoditized as money is. Most of it doesn't even require actual printing, but is just digits on a computer screen...much like the digits I am typing right now. And yet the banking criminals have captured so much of governance that You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to see them You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login (and then shift the subsequent mirroring losses onto the public at large).</p>
<p>To claim that those huge profit margins (during fraud-driven bubbles) are reasonable AND that they deserved to be bailed out whenever they get things wrong is intellectually dishonest. If the taxpayer is capturing 100% of the downside risk, then why (other than fraud) are these banking criminals paid a single cent more than a person enlisted in the military?</p>
<h2>Global Instability</h2>
<p>Internationally we are at least as screwed up as we are domestically. Does outsourcing make the world more efficient? In many cases absolutely. But the global imbalances You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login. </p>
<p>Can look to technology to solve the problems? </p>
<p>Maybe not!</p>
<h2>Even The White Horses Have Bloody Hooves</h2>
<p>Apple is You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login. At the other end of that supply chain is a factory where You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login &amp; You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login. And as soon as those people get any aspirations at all, suddenly even the 3rd world slave wage labor is too expensive &amp; over the next few years You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login.</p>
<p>If even slave wage labor You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login then what does that mean for labor in countries with a higher standard of living, where the labor is far more expensive?</p>
<p>Eric Schmidt famously stated that You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login &amp; then You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login while You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login. The lobbyist comment was a sneer at the system, until Google followed suit and started buying the political process. They make You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, yet You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login.</p>
<h2>Where Legitimate Innovation Comes From</h2>
<p>Historically most valuable economic innovation (the legitimate kind, not the fraudulent financial engineering of the past decade) comes from individuals &amp; smaller groups who challenge existing industries &amp; powerful companies with creative destruction by making markets more efficient. The AT&amp;T monopoly did a lot of great research, but anything that they thought could cannibalize their current business model did not see the light of day - sometimes for decades.</p>
<p>If we are moving into an ideas &amp; technology driven economy (and that is where most of our growth will come from) then diversity should be cherished &amp; encouraged. Unfortunately, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login lead to You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login being You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login &amp; innovation is slowed while the 800 pound gorillas &amp; You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login engage in an arms race.</p>
<p>These sorts of "legislate away the future" that aim to keep existing powers You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login are literally everywhere - from the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login right on through to a proposed law that would You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login.</p>
<h2>And Now On the Auction Block...</h2>
<p>"You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login." </p>
<p>The system of fraud is so unsustainable that You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, but Fannie Mae You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login! Those responsible for the downgrade (who committed fraud &amp; then sold their junk to the government at above market values) are You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login. To make the bankers whole, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, at least You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login.</p>
<h2>Exponential Growth in a Finite World?</h2>
<p>We have a debt-based monetary system which requires exponential growth to prevent collapse, an oligarchy-based political system that punishes innovation &amp; success while rewarding failure, and it exists in a finite world where we are reaching the peak production in key base-level economic inputs: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login.</p>
<p>The same criminal banking organizations that forced you to eat their debts are now You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login you need to live. And yet, our worldwide finance-first economy (where You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login before You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login) is so dysfunctional that You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login. </p>
<p>The parasite ate the host &amp; now the host has nothing left to give.</p>
<h2>Manipulation vs Fixing The Problems</h2>
<p>It is thus without surprise then that You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login (rather than fixing actual problems) and society has an issue with You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login.</p>
<p>That which can not be sustained won't. </p>
