More Bad News


I'm afraid the news isn't getting any better this morning...

Here we can see from FactSet that in 2016 they are predicting  most growth in spending on Healthcare and Consumer including Staples... hmmm sounds like a real disaster brewing.... can you imagine more people being healed and fed in 2016 this sounds like a real calamity ahead...

Mike look how energy is predicted last... about time imo....

Ironically, the USA desperately practices expensive "healing" mostly after inducing obesity-related illnesses by mis-feeding it's electorate.

Go figure.

Probably should then make sure any future JG jobs are less sedentary Roger... this would probably help... or pay people to exercise?

Right Roger: increasing healthcare profits, at expense of increasing unaffordabel healthcare bills and the outcome is increasing health issues? Wonder why Bill is talking about 'consumerism' and what it means yet?

Obsession with growth of numbers (why is people obsessed over LARGE numbers? Is like the fondness of gold, must be a similar disease) does not euqate better outcomes... Call me back when you come with better ways to measure social progress over obsession of percentages and large numbers.

"or pay people to exercise?"
Sport will certainly be part of the JG.

Roger Erickson said...

Saner regulation of food & ag standards will always be the foundation & necessary part of Public Health maintenance, similar to the necessity for fundamental regulations in finance.

The root logic is not so different from fleet mgt for vehicles. All the repair shops in the world can't keep up without a maintenance program using HIGH PURITY fluids, & use of HIGH PURITY fuel.

Ounce of prevention vs pounds of cure, etc.

truth is hard to find; (esp if it can be suppressed)

a French court agreed, in this momentous court decision, that the actions of Marc Fallous, Chairman of Biomolecular Engineering, against Séralini and his co-workers in their studies on Monsanto products, including GM corn, were unlawful.

Can't tell from the press story alone whether this study is valid or not ... but it sure seems like Monsanto is against freedom of speech.

Matt's just pointing out aggregates. We all know the system is fucked up and the top 1% get everything.

I've been saying this over and over and over again. We can whine and complain or be like the MMT "leadership," which does nothing, but sit on their academic high horses pontificating. (They're mostly wrong on their forecasts, anyway.)

Fuck it.

I'm trying to make money, here. That being said, aggregates are important.
