I think we would be low-keying the gold fever, if we are of the prime evil persuasion.
Like, just so … look folks, nothing to worry about. The financial economy is big but it isn’t real. The big financial economy may impact upon the smaller real economy with the force equivalent to three suns going super nova on planet earth, but our flexibility and ingenuity will allow the triumph of hope over is, by and by, in good time for us to slip into comfortable retirement and wondrous second careers. And, even if the financial economy were to blow up, systemically, and pulverize then melt the real economy, it does not follow that the subsequent revolution and monetary reset will be fatal to everybody.
So, relax, good news all around.
In the meantime, ignore the possibility that Pakistan will become a failed ‘nukeler’ state where the empire will be hopelessly bogged down even as its borrowings for the hopelessness rise asymptotically towards infinity and its money sink, as if caught in a quantum energy well.
Everything will be fine, unless the electorates of the empire put in office a bigger still moron of the first order, which, while definitely a possibility, is also survivable.
So, chill, no bad news anywhere to be counted. |
