Capitalism--No Money in Cures or Solving Problems

[ProfD]

The USA does very little to decrease the demand for drugs. Follow the money. 

 

Yet, the same  country will criminalize and punish the low-level folks who traffic drugs. Follow the money. 

 

Right now, in another show of force, the US is blowing up fishing boats in international waters near Venezuela under the guise of narco-terrorrism.

 

Approximately 80 people have been unalived as result of military strikes on their boats.

 

Let's be clear...the majority of fentanyl and cocaine coming into the USA  isn't being trafficked on those small azz fishing boats. 

 

Most of the drugs pouring into the USA come from Colombia and Mexico by evey means of transportation...land, sea and air.

 

With money involved, best believe a whole lot of white folks are getting rich from the proceeds of drugs.

 

The US economy benefits significantly from everything associated with selling drugs and its usage from consumerism (cars, houses, clothes, vacation, entertainment, etc.) to medical, legal, judicial and law enforcement.

 

Just as there is no money in curing diseases and ailments, the same goes for eliminating the demand for drugs. Follow the money. 

 

Both the legal drug dealers (pharmaceutical industry) and illegal drug dealers are allowed to thrive at the expense of people being sick, debilitated and/or addicted.

 

A long time ago, it was realized that because they are going to die anyway, humans are expendable. Therefore, it makes most sense to profit from their existence.

 

Human pain and/or suffering is finite due to mortality. However, the money that can be made while folks are living can be recirculated many times over and build wealth.

 

There's no money in cures. Problems are big business especially in a capitalistic society and system thriving on it. Follow the money. 

[Pioneer1]

Is the problem Capitalism?
Or is the problem immorality and unethical business practices?
 

We talked about wisdom in another thread.
There's a difference between being CLEVER and being WISE.

We know that the current elite believe there is more money in treating people than curing them.
They think they are clever for building an entire economy on managing the "symptoms" of problems instead of solving them.
 

However WISE people know that there is faaaaar more money and other benefits to be gained in actually curing people and better yet PREVENTING most of these diseases and other problems in the first place.

A healthy stress free society is FAR more productive and innovative.

With the trillions of dollars the leaders of this world have already WASTED trying to reduce the population through diseases, wars, criminalization, and other means....they could have invested that same money in incentivizing people to terraform other planets, EXPAND the human population, and expand the economy which would have yielded TRILLIONS in profits!

The problem is capitalism feeds human greed in such a way that only a small percentage of people get to enjoy a vast amount of wealth.

The greedy people enrich themselves by keeping the population just healthy enough to trade their labor for wages.

Generating trillions of dollars more would mean greedy people have to share the wealth and they wouldn't have anyone to look down upon if there's no lower class people.

Well, whether or not "greed" is necessarily a bad thing is another subject that deserves a thread of it's own.
Kind of like whether "jealousy" and "insecurity" are necessarily bad, however.......

 

 

The problem is capitalism feeds human greed in such a way that only a small percentage of people get to enjoy a vast amount of wealth. 
 

The pro-Capitalist would argue if it weren't for the system of Capitalism, not only would that small percentage of people not enjoy a vast amount of wealth but NOBODY would enjoy it because the system that produced it wouldn't be around.

They'd stand at you with their hands in their pockets and smile and say,
"This large percentage that you speak of who are not enjoying that wealth wouldn't have been enjoying it ANYWAY, so they shouldn't be jealous and angry over something they wouldn't have had anyway."


Misery tends to love company.
Go to a poor country where EVERYBODY is poor...and most people are smiling and happy and playing music.
As soon as they see you come there with wealth, then the music stops playing and the smiles turn upside down...lol.

Then the kidnapping plots start.
Then the ransom notes get drafted.

It wasn't NOT having it that bothered them.
It's seen YOU WITH IT that bothered them.

Biggie Smalls said,
The same ones who roll blunts wit'cha....as soon as you get something....be them same ones who wanna grab their gats and come git'cha....lol.

 

 

Apparently, for thousands of years, the wise people have not been able to appeal to the greedy people. 

 

TRULY wise people didn't try to...lol.

A person who is TRULY wise knows that a person's vices have a way of consuming them.
They know that if a person is too greedy, given enough time their own greed will lead to their downfall anyway.

 

 

 

The greedy people enrich themselves by keeping the population just healthy enough to trade their labor for wages. 

In some cases.....
Now a days many of them aren't even bothering to do THAT.

They're letting people die and IMPORTING more cheap labor in by the millions to take their places.

Same difference allowing folks to die and replacing them with more cheap labor. The rich get richer.

They may not operate on greed but they do operate on racism and xenophobia because until recently....those nations were almost exclusively White.
Now that a lot of refugees from Syria and other parts of the Middle East have been coming in....you're starting to see more poverty and wealth inequalities.

 

Another thing about places like Sweden and Norway is that they are pretty much the "bitch" of America.
America protects them.
So they don't have to spend their money on a military.

All they have to do is just sit there with their legs crossed looking "pretty"...lol.

America protects them because many white folks here can trace their bloodlines back to those places.

 

Also, those countries are strategic allies. They have something to offer the US.

Our tax dollars are going to help defend their country and train their military as some of those nations are also part of NATO.

If yall number about half a billion people and tiny Israel is whooping your ass and driving you out of your homes to the point that you have to flee to Europe, South Africa, America, and other places around the planet....clearly you're facing an intelligence higher than your own.

But it does make sense.
Because although they flee to another country and still live in poverty....atleast they're SAFE.

It's one thing to simply be poor.
It's another thing to be poor AND constantly living in danger.

IMO, they are not getting their azz whooped by a higher intelligence.  It is more powerful. 

 

If someone is in a fight with a smaller person and a bigger brother, cousin and uncle showed up...intelligence will not save them from a major azz whupping.  The only choice becomes fight or flight.

That is why it is important to learn self-defense.  Once a person runs from a fight, they will be running forever. 

 

Some people are perfectly comfortable with b8tch status.  It has never been a good look for a man though.

Follow the money, but talk is cheap. After all of this nihilistic   verbiage, what is it that "black folks need to do" to stop being perennial losers?  

Abandon their futile quest to abolish racism - and get with the program?

Life is a big joke.

Black folks need to pool resources and build institutions that generate wealth.

 

For example, the Nation of Islam generated a lot of money selling bean pies and Final Call newspapers.  

 

Entertainment was a wide open area that Black folks could have invested in themselves by maintaining ownership of their intellectual property and selling it instead of enriching non-Black folks.

...I meant besides dreaming improbable dreams.

You got it right, the first time. And Frankster confirmed it.  

 

 "A  long time ago, it was realized that because they are going to die anyway, humans are expendable. Therefore, it makes most sense to profit from their existence."

"We do not live in a civilization....but in a death cult - Barbarization."

 

In the Game of Life, there can be no winners without losers. Black folks win when it comes to losing. 

And so it goes...

Regardless of one's beliefs, when looking into a casket, it does not appear that dead people are in pain or suffering from anything.

 

I get it.  The natural desire of most humans is to live regardless of the conditions and/or circumstances. 

 

Those who control the levers of power know it too and that's why they will put people through all types of sh8t. 

 

The believers in sky fairies want to go to heaven but none of them really wants to die. 

 

That's also why those same people have a hard time understanding suicide and other forms of martyrdom. 

 

Again, many folks are willing to endure poverty, pain and suffering for a morsel of enjoyment and/or happiness.

I don't fully understand the logic behind religious "martyrdom".

First of all why does the Higher Being you serve "need" you to fight for Them?
It seems that if that Being wants them destroyed, They'd do it Themselves.
And if they DO want it done at your hands...then they'd give you the INTELLIGENCE and ABILITY to do it.
You wouldn't have to try so hard.

 

Again, many folks are willing to endure poverty, pain and suffering for a morsel of enjoyment and/or happiness

True.
And some folks are just down right confused.
They want to die, but are afraid to and not sure what's on the other side waiting for them.

Religious folks are indoctrinated and radicalized into believing they are dying for a greater cause and will be rewarded on the other side.

Humans have a natural desire to live and survive. Most don't want to die because it's final an as you mentioned, they don't really know what's on the other side.
