'allo. I'm just chilin like a villin with some amoxicillin cause I'm illin. I don't rightly know..what is up with anything right now. these are turbulent years. none of the things I used to think were big deals are anything now. boy does it suck. hey I got something to talk about! I was talking to my dad, about the economy. I'll explain how we got on that topic first, and then move on. we were watching Jeeves and Wooster (great show) and he was saying stuff about how england is vaguely marxist. in their medical care stuff mainly. like, the government owns it all, and gives everyone the exact same amount of medical care. now this sounds ok, doesn't it? but it doesn't actually work. because if someone has cancer or something, they'll get the same amount of care as someone with the flu. If someone has the money to pay for more care, and are terminally ill or something, they won't be able to get more care, the government won't let them. there is one way that socialism doesn't work. Now, elaborating on that, we discussed companies expanding internationally. this subject started with the idea that the american government pays smalltime farmers to not grow wheat. Why? You ask? well it actually makes alot of sense, you see, it's an artificial way of keeping the economy stable. if farmers grow alot of wheat an have a good year, well there is alot of stuff to go around, but the prices drop and we have inflation, so people stop growing it, because the prices are low and you can get it anywhere. so the next year the supply is much smaller, and the prices launch up, and we have what is called a depression. so the government pays the farmers to only grow a certain quota of wheat, so they get enough money, but the market doesn't fluctuate. there are some who make a big deal out of this. because now, since there is less money in smalltime farming, it is pretty much nonexistent. most of our products come from big companies that are now becoming international. people don't like this. (I don't understand the problem) but they think that companies unifying countries will give too much money to too little people. they seem to think that there is only so much money to go around. little do they realize, a giant international food company would be precisely what the doctor ordered. think about it, a huge company, lots of jobs, so many many people would be able to afford home and food. and! many places that are low on food and resources now would be brought up to speed and mechanized. which is a mixed blessing. the only thing that is really needed is, it couldn't be cutthroat capitilism, being as it's a company that exists outside of a set government. the UN would have to put restrictions on it BECAUSE if they didn't, it would end up with like, ten year old kids in mineshafts and stuff. so there is that. what we need to do, is stop protesting and other shit, and let the economy run it's course, because what we'd end up with, is a small government, that regulates corporations, a huge reserve army. and a giant company that has a monopoly on pretty much all resources. and everyone would have what they needed. not that I really LIKE that idea. but it would end up with what is best for everyone in total. welp, cya later everyone
