It’s a bit sad when I consider that one of the kindest things humanity could do for the earth and all the things existing on earth, would be to develop virtual reality to the point that humans no long need to act upon and harm the earth to achieve all of the freedoms, experiences and luxuries we so desperately seek. I picture the Matrix, but instead of the outerworld being dreadfully decayed and infested with mechanical design, it is green and flourishing with life.
Question is, how many resources would be required to devise of , build and power such a matrix? Think it could be possible and sustainable?

Just think, if you work hard, take on massive student loan debts, and crawl on the backs of countless others, you too can live in luxury (maybe, probably not, and if not, clearly you are a failure at life). /sarcasm

Can Wall Street save Trump from himself? William D. Cohen asks in the March 2017 issue.

“Pensa alla grande. Sii ottimista. Non dare mai segni di debolezza. Mira sempre dritto alla gola. Compra a poco e vendi a molto. La paura è un problema che non ti riguarda. Nessuna esperienza precedente puo averti preparato per assistere alla carneficina a cui assisterai fra poco. La finale di baseball, le Olimpiadi: quella tensione era niente al confronto. In questo palazzo uccidi o vieni ucciso. In trincea non si fanno amici e non si prendono prigionieri. Tu entri avendo mezzo milione in germogli di soia e un attimo dopo i tuoi figli non hanno piu neanche le scarpe”
Il Premier Enico Letta a Wall Street

In 2008, the year the crisis began, big banks handed out bailout funds as bonuses:
• Goldman Sachs, which earned $2.3 billion and received $10 billion in TARP funding, paid out $4.8 billion in bonuses in 2008 - more than double their net income.
• Morgan Stanley, which earned $1.7 billion and received $10 billion in bailout funds, handed out $4.475 billion in bonuses, nearly three times their net income.
• JPMorgan Chase, which earned $5.6 billion in 2008 and received $25 billion from the government, paid out $8.69 billion in bonus money.
• Citigroup and Merrill Lynch lost a combined $54 billion. They received a total of $55 billion in bailouts and paid out $9 billion in combined bonuses. ($5.33 billion for Citigroup; $3.6 billion for Merrill Lynch, which was subsequently acquired by Bank of America.)

50% of Congress are millionaires. Why? Because insider trading is not illegal for representatives. What a scam. If they made minimum wage maybe they would be more concerned about the 99%
It’s time to demand that public servants be held to the same standard of law as the rest of us.
