Why Don't We Look At National Population, Economy, Markets, Policy ... And DEMOCRACY This Way?

Commentary by Roger Erickson

If our methods are obsolete for our growing numbers ... there are two directions to follow.

1) The dimwitted, austerity concept (shrink the nation? an electorate is NOT like an obese person with extra adipose cells).

2) The timeless, adaptive evolution approach (improve our methods? a growing electorate IS like a fast growing embryo or baby, ramping up MORE cells, interconnects and coordination methods all the time - seems obvious, IF you're not an orthodox economist).


Chart of the Day, Microsoft Edition
"The Nokia aquisition simply takes Microsoft from TBTM (too big to manage) to MTBTM (much too big to manage)."  [By conventional methods? Yes, dimwit. But methods can change. That's what Americans used to do. Try the word "adjust." It's in this thing called a "dictionary?"]




This shape chart could just as easily show
  US population 1933 ... vs US population 2013.

Do we REALLY expect to be going back to OLD methods? Or even staying the same? Get real folks. Time for ALL professions to caucus together, and try some new approaches. No, Central Planning by the 0.1% will NOT work. Besides, they're all OLD people, set in outdated ways.
