“Humane” costs money, apparently too much: what sense is it to economically and demographically bankrupt Europe to support being “humane.” Reality itself is not humane, kind, evil, greedy, or cavalier but it must be acknowledged as having the final say in these matters for good or ill cuz in the end the whole system will fall. Poor people are a fact of life and eliminating them by overspending revenue might eliminate the entire society and in the end make things far worse.
You can’t keep printing money and pushing it here and there as a stop gap forever; eventually the piper has to be paid, like it or not, sense of order satisfied or not. There is this weird faith in Europe that systems cannot fall but with unprecedented populations and more coming, we are in unchartered territory here and one can’t but think a war of some kind is on the horizon where one might least expect it.
Rich and corrupt politician operate right out in the open in Europe as in the U.S. and take their money and run with no regard to the future of the system they are gutting. This old generation is passing off bankruptcy, hunger and a potential for street violence to the future.
If you characterize OWS in a more generic light, it is happening in Israel, across parts of the middle east and in Europe and America and it is all based on economics. Simply put, there are too many people in the world and many of them are overwhelming what are right now shaping up to be what would’ve been the last sanctuaries of productivity and some modicum of law, order and sanity. That is all threatened now. And add the UK: they are about to go through a big economic bump.
