My Take

So, the experts are predicting more misery. What is wrong with the world getting more poor people. We the poor are the majority. After all, it is only money, and even that, it is only money earned on the markets—not real money. And, what is wrong with being poor?

Those who become poor because of the stock market and because of other gambling strategies, will have more respect for the majority of the world’s population, whom they despise. As my father use to say: “By keeping on tightening the guitar’s strings, the tuner will end up pupping the strings”.

We never hear the investor’s complain when they rake in filthy lucre. They call it success to rise above their peers. But when they fall; oh, well, they just join the majority.

On the other hand, who wants to be the minority? Only the rich and the gentile, and those of noble birth, and the affluent, and those who are affluent regardless of ethnic lineage, they want to be the ruling minority.

Well, welcome to the real world of eating “by the sweat of your brow”. Oops, I forgot, those affluent and rich people are not supposed to work for a living, nor associate with those who labor with their hands (From Charles Dickens).
