Quo Vadis, America? – The Automatic Earth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Where are you going, America?<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t like to discuss politics too much. There are not enough smart, kind and honest people in politics wherever I look in the world for me to want to have anything to do with that game. I\u2019d just spend all my time wondering what kind of mindset it takes to want to tell other people what to do, and be in control of the millions, billions and trillions of dollars that are taken from these people on a daily, yearly, basis.<\/p>\n

Not that all of them politicians are bad, but those who have genuinely good intentions get drowned out, within seconds, by the ones for whom the need to have power over others is more important than anything else. And as I said, on the whole they\u2019re not very smart. It\u2019s for instance a very bad idea to let you countries\u2019 economic policies be decided by the very people who make the decisions today.<\/p>\n

They have no clue what they\u2019re talking about. So they get advisors who they feel do know, and these advisors all come from the same small niche of society that steer everybody\u2019s hard-earned cash towards that same small niche of society. 99% of economists are religious nuts who do even the Roman Catholic church one better because they chart graphs to \u2018prove\u2019 their beliefs are true -or even provable-.<\/p>\n
