How Much Is a Stimulus Job Worth?

That you actually wasted time to make up numbers, as well as Jake did, to support your ideologies is comical. How about Jake just saying "The have's see absolutely no value in using 'their' resources so the have-not's remain alive" and how about you saying "The have-not's see absolutely no value in not banding together and taking 'the have's' resources to stay alive". This would be called life on earth.

The Seduction of America

This is a well written, but long-winded, explanation of something an ecologist would have summarized with a roll of the eyes as 'Scavenger(trader) and predator(consumer) population grows as prey(producer) population declines.' Reverse, with the required death and pain, and repeat. Please apply to various human sub-types as your model of humanity allows.

If you are not a believer that a stable macro-organism can be created on a closed-system earth with the current constituent life forms and their evolved behaviors, one must accept that organic life, including human life, on a closed system like earth is a ponzi scheme. A continually inflating and deflating bubble.

Welcome to reality, (eco)nomists. Sorry, I didn't need any charts.

If only the Borg were here to SAVE us.
