They Don't Call It A F.I.R.E. Sale For 'Nothin!

Commentary by Roger Erickson

Big finance and the great sell-off of ‘our’ natural assets.

Uh, oh. They're on to us

No matter. We can sell Zyg too!
(And all of Poland, if necessary. Even the socialists, if it comes to that.)
They don't call it a F.I.R.E. sale for the reason you thought! :(

Want proof we're more civilized than Russians? They starve & eat their kids occasionally. WE.. sniff! ... SELL ours - along with all their assets! Hmmmph. There's a big difference in sophistication, if not intent.

Why, we perfected this by 1950 when, bored with all our excess bathwater, we shipped the Deming baby to Japan! Brilliant! Allowed us to go about consuming mindlessly, and growing asses big enough for all to sit on. Sell THAT, capitalists.

Capitalism started off as a simple method for concentrating and scaling static capital, and a useful tool for rational people who knew how, when and why to use it. We're the ones who made it into what it is thought to be today - Diabeticapitalism.  It's what we're left with if we try to separate and package static and dynamic capital as distinct species instead of probability isomers.

A supposed capitalist culture ignoring dynamic value is like a diabetic ignoring protein and trying to live off sugar. First they get obese, then they quickly die.
