The report of the slaying of the recession has been wildly exaggerated. Every day we hear how the recovery is gaining steam and happy times will soon be here again. Who is telling us this good news?
It’s the giant corporate robot who is telling us this. In the meantime, we humans huddle in our hovels which many of us technically no longer own. Most families net worth has been wiped out. Many are unemployed. The baby boom is aging rapidly. Millions of foreclosures are expected. We humans ain’t doin’ so good but the corporate robots are avoiding regulation, paying ridiculous salaries to their human collaborators, and expect to get away with murder, namely us humans.
At the point of time that a corporation was suggested in the 1600’s it was a means of spreading risk among numerous investors to fund dangerous enterprises. International commercial commerce thrived because of the joint stock companies (corporations), sea voyages were undertaken, trading empires arose. Sometime in the last 400 years, the corporation awoke and became sentient, like Frankenstein’s monster. The corporation is actually the giant robot that takes over the world which we have seen in hundreds of science fiction novels and films. We’re still looking for the Hal 9000 when the machine is already here. It don’t need no stinkin’ diodes.
The corporation has it’s own reason for existence, which has nothing to do with human beings. The corporation is an independent entity eats, sleeps, and craps for it’s own benefit. Humans are just lubrication in it’s gears.
Humans, awake before it is too late!
