A group of friends vow to do whatever it takes to stop evil corporate overlords from destroying the Earth. How? They aren’t sure. They explore various strategies, but so far nothing has worked. As they build a resistance movement, those who love them the most can be their biggest obstacles.

Big question is, how long does a dollar live?

18 – 22 months but less than a year for a euro note.

Many, many mutual funds have returned 8~12% over their lifetime.
Capitalism: it works for people that work.

In contrast to industry’s relative decline, finance capitalism is on the rise: in 1978, 2% of global profit came from finance. Today it’s 42%. So its influence on the economy is considerable, and it’s destabilizing. But producing more commodities is destabilizing too. So the crisis shifts from place to place, with no long term workable options.

Such profit making from shifting around money without actually creating something like food or product or fuel is a circular file. It will eventually go no where. And it can’t survive on its own. Insular and mostly useless to everyone but the few who do get rich from pushing paper.

What we need are what we had 40 years ago. Good paying stable manufacturing and farming jobs as the base for an economy followed by the high tech and medical industries with art, music and gambling making up the tertiary industries.
