It's An Adjustment

This recession, which in my opinion is now a DEPRESSION, is really neither. It is an adjustment... a correction if you will. It is almost exactly like a baseball slugger coming off of steriods. For a few years he seems almost unbelievable in terms of his production. Meanwhile, the rest of us quickly come to accept this new, superhuman standard as the norm.

Then, for whatever reason, he comes off the juice and his numbers nosedive. At first people call it a slump, then they begin to speculate if there's some kind of injury, or if it's just age, but really we all know it's that he's not taking 'roids anymore.

Our economic system has been on steroids for years now. Decades. Everything that I find repulsive about American life is a byproduct of this era.

(For more details on things I find repulsive about American life please see this entire blog.)

In a way it could ultimately lead to a more balanced, stable world, though one less uber-dominated by the United States.

I for one welcome less corporate influence in our lives.
