The Trash Economy

Lori Harfenist explains how America is going to keep the global  economy afloat, with trash. The idea seems to be to wage war in the Middle East, to get them to pump out more oil to pay for US weapons that don't work very well. This reduces the oil price and produces lots of cheap raw materials for the Chinese to make plastic crap from. Then with the reduced oil price this plastic crap can be shipped cheaply around the world, and sold to people who don't need it, and when it's broken and thrown in the bin, it can be shipped back to Asia, and they can just send it back to where came from, or tip it into international waters when nobody is looking. And that's what lies behind global economic growth and monotonically increasing world wealth, and that's why the gap between rich and poor is continually  decreasing. So now you understand why Donald Trump says the economy is doin' great!


Yup, this is poor Donald's birthday present this year. With love from El Comandante ❤️
