If nothing is left who wins and what exactly do they win. If everything is destroyed what is the sense of playing the game.
Automation and robotics is getting to a level where the human drones will stop being a commodity and start being a liability. What do you think makes more sense, have an army of machines that work without question never get sick take vacations or go on strike because they want more pay or the opposite. If your job can be done by a machine it will be. Its not personal just good business.
The elite only need us to do the dirty jobs they themselves dont want to do. Once we get them to a level of technology where they can achieve that we will be "taken out to pasture" if you know what I mean.
Exactly what will those machines be making - for what market? Remember Henry Ford he paid the drones more than anyother auto maker. So they could afford to buy Fords. Without workers (consumers) why have factories. Why have automation. Unless as you seem to think the only reason we build factories is to turn raw material into recyclable goods that we can make raw materials from so we can make recyclable goods that we can make raw materials from so we can make.....

protesting does nothing.
Here on ATS and elsewhere we educate ourselves. Every shill and moron has made us learn and push ourselves to become better. In the end it will not be a bloodless revolution or a violent one that will change a thing. It will be a generation of informed and educated people who simply take the positions of power in a real democratic society they will envision together with their people and make into reality.
there is no "asking" or "demanding". There is only doing. When we are ready to run for office, which we will have time to do so for another 50 or more years, we will simply be elected in landslide victories over puppets. That takes education and preparation. We need for the shills to keep coming and by their tactics, a better fighter in us to forge.
There is no "now", and especially so there is no "end"......
Time is on our side......always is, always was, always will be....tomorrow belongs to no one...

Dont you and I suffer from the same temptation? do you not want everything to be right for you and your family? Do you respond in anger at people when they cut you off or get in the way of your plans. This is a struggle effecting all humanity not just the rich they just have more reasons to act irrationaly when things dont go there way. And the only reason it matters at all is because the impact of rich peoples poor choices spreads further than ours. We are in a glass house here and if you were rich beyond reason you would make the same mistakes. Or you could be a responsible person in a position of power or as a lowley peasant. Thus being apart of the solution rather than the problem.

That's the way to do it. Stop paying taxes. Once people wake up a bit more they will figure out the way to do this has been around for quite awhile. It's not hard. It's legal, it's lawful. I did it over a year ago. The IRS is aware of it. It's not difficult to become tax exempt. But first, you have to find out why you are liable for taxes in the first place. After that you can rectify the problem.

If you are saying that this is possible without going to jail, then care to elaborate? I am willing to do it even if it means living below the poverty line and being more slef sufficient.

I wasn't challenging his level of education. I was challenging his integrity. I think he's lying. And if he's lying about what he does or has done for a living, then I have to assume that everything else he says it's BS. I stand by it. He's an attention seeker. He's given us nothing. Nothing that he has said would make me believe that he has some kind of insider info, some sort of experience with the way the inner workings of Wall Street operate. In fact, all that he has done is spew the same old paranoid conspiracy theorist bull that is prevalent on this forum. Irrational whoop whoop nonsense that isn't going to get him..or you, anywhere.
Go on, stroke his ego.

so what if wall street collapsed? what if the dollar was worthless and lawlessness and chaos reigned in the streets? I think i would relish the oppurtunity to fend for my self to hunt what i need to build where i want, God forbid they take away my 60-80 hour work week to provide for my family. Then i also think is this really a big conspiracy? is control the ultimate goal? I think secretly i wish control was actually implented to take away from my deep seated fears in the current provisional structures, then i realize even that is weak thinking that no matter the circumstance i choose to triumph over adversity i choose to dig in when i feel the weight. I will survive. Then i think maybe really the whole economic system and politcal structures are actually reinforcing choas not because they have an agenda but because they are catering to what the people truley want. People dont want responisbilty, yet fear the power they are giving the government, just by living here.
Consumerism is the result of poor responsibilty and habit's.
