concentration of wealth? It's bad. Must spread more evenly. Envy and greed are straight out of chimpanzee land.

Do not offend the chimps, Amigo! Chimps are not envious or greed. It is humans who are envious and greed.

I have worked hard for several decades to concentrate wealth and have had some minor success, albeit with great effort, not only long into the night, but occasionally right through it in non-stop 12 hour shifts carting concrete by wheelbarrow.

You had -most your life a cushy job- in the inflated oil business. Yes, you started rough, but once you discovered the easy money you went for it. And you were very right to do so.

It's quite annoying to see greedy selfish swine demonstrating that I should redistribute my efforts to them. They could try getting a real job and see if that helps them.

The demonstrators are right to do so. After all they have believed in the story of the officialdom. They walked obediently the line. They respected the rule of the law and now they have no Nirvana.

Also, I have proliferated derivatives lately and there seems nothing wrong with them.

People started believing that you can outsmart bad luck. You can hedge anything. Pay the hedging price and let someone else worry about the mess. It is not going to work.

Envy and greed are straight out of chimpanzee land. monopolizing the creation of wealth is right out of chimpanzee land.. and precipitates what we see now.. y'know alpha's and then everyone else..

as one of my posts on the free university .. those are silly pie in the sky things.. it comes back to a government for the people.. not for business. no one is gonna bail you out Mq... for being stupid.. but you will certainly be bailing out banks and their executives that will not suffer an iota for their stupidity and geed.. Did you miss the last three years ? Wasn't greed a huge factor in causing the mess.. except one class that organised it.. seems not to have suffered .. Some folks are just tired of bending over... and of course the usual dolts and opportunists will join the parade.. almost sounds like a government come to think of it...
