Greed and Need - Timothy Egan Blog - NYTimes.com

Greed and Need - Timothy Egan Blog - NYTimes.com: "All of Bill and Warren’s billions can’t put Humpty Dumpty back together again, no matter how commendable the effort. The problem is not the Kens and the Bernies, but the entire schema of short term profiteering and the promulagation of geegaws and doodads to grease the merry-go-round. I for one hope all Americans keep their old cars on the road another 7 years, go nowhere except to visit family and old friends, let their clothes actually show some wear, cook a whole lot more at home, and concientiously ignor any advertising, particularly those ads they find most appealing. We can discipline ourselves, and then the money guys will have no alternative but to get with the program, or better yet, go out and earn an honest living. Invest in the things that matter, and not the things that children can be counted on to whine for.
— Acronzy"
