How Will the Rich Rule Without Money?

[georgephillip]

If employees were a corporation's greatest asset, does that mean layoffs are wholesale destruction of assets as opposed to an elimination of expenses?

Any business that isn't in business to make money, isn't in business long.

If you don't want to be an employee ... then become an employer. Sponging off the productive members of society isn't (or at least shouldn't) be an option.

The Fed Has Made Jamie Dimon $250 Million Richer Through Its Repo Loans

"As Wall Street On Parade has previously reported, JPMorgan Chase has been fingered as the bank that contributed to the Federal Reserve having to intervene in the overnight loan market on September 17 of this year, and every business day since then..."

"But as it now turns out, few individuals have personally benefitted as much as Jamie Dimon as a result of the Fed’s actions.

"Jamie Dimon is one of the largest individual shareholders in the stock of JPMorgan Chase. Those shares are the sole reason Dimon is a billionaire.

"On October 10, 2019, the shares of JPMorgan Chase closed at $114.21.

"On October 11, the New York Fed announced a dramatic escalation in its plans to flood money to Wall Street’s trading houses."

You were free to buy JPM before the Fed increased their repo lending.

Saving and investing some of your own money might make you less of a parasite.

Like a feudal estate, a corporation is considered a piece of property

Yes, people actually own corporations. And property.
Even if that fact makes you feel like a loser.

How will the richest among us protect themselves and their property if (when?) catastrophic climate chaos makes money worthless?

MR Online | How the rich plan to rule a burning planet

"Writing in the Guardian in 2018, media theorist and futurist Douglas Rushkoff related his experience of being paid half his annual salary to speak at 'a super-deluxe private resort … on the subject of "the future of technology’”. He was expecting a room full of investment bankers. When he arrived, however, he was introduced to 'five super-wealthy guys … from the upper echelon of the hedge fund world'. Rushkoff wrote:

"'After a bit of small talk, I realized they had no interest in the information I had prepared about the future of technology.

"They had come with questions of their own … Which region will be less affected by the coming climate crisis: New Zealand or Alaska? … Finally, the CEO of a brokerage house explained that he had nearly completed building his own underground bunker system and asked: "How do I maintain authority over my security force after the Event?"

"The Event.

"That was their euphemism for the environmental collapse, social unrest, nuclear explosion, unstoppable virus, or Mr Robot hack that takes everything down … They knew armed guards would be required to protect their compounds from the angry mobs.

If your plan calls for allowing the world to drown in the swamp of mass death and destruction while you cower in a South Pacific bunker protected by hired killers wearing exploding collars, you are not likely to win much in the way of public support for the capitalist state economics that are creating the next mass extinction, are you?

How will poor people live without money? The rich are going to have assets that will always be worth something.

But, your end of the world scenarios are funny. Keep up the conspiracies.

MR Online | How the rich plan to rule a burning planet

"In the face of the climate crisis, the main priority of the global ruling class and its political servants is to batten down the hatches.

"Publicly, they’re telling school kids not to worry about the future.

"Behind the scenes, however–in the cabinet offices, boardrooms, mansions and military high commands–they’re hard at work, planning for a future in which they can maintain their power and privilege amid the chaos and destruction of the burning world around them."

Stop -
There is no climate crisis
Stop-

A TDS thread blended with a touch of "climate crisis". Quite a fantasy.

The leaders of the new world order in a civilization ending event will be more like this feller, than any ex hedge fund manager.

How 'bout Pentagon fellers?

MR Online | How the rich plan to rule a burning planet

"Military strategists have been awake to the implications of climate change for a long time.

"As early as 2003, in a report commissioned by the Pentagon, U.S. researchers Peter Schwartz and Doug Randall argued that 'violence and disruption stemming from the stresses created by abrupt changes in the climate pose a different type of threat to national security than we are accustomed to today. Military confrontation may be triggered by a desperate need for natural resources such as energy, food, and water rather than conflicts over ideology, religion, or national honor. The shifting motivation for confrontation would alter which countries are most vulnerable and the existing warning signs of security threats'.

"More recently, a 2015 U.S. Department of Defense memorandum to Congress argued: 'Climate change is an urgent and growing threat to our national security, contributing to increased natural disasters, refugee flows, and conflicts over basic resources such as food and water. These impacts are already occurring, and the scope, scale and intensity of these impacts are projected to increase over time'".

In 2015, of course, Obama was commander in chief, and demanded vocal assent to his ultra radical Climate Change Agenda. a DOD memo only indicates that the generals will say what the c-in-c tells them to say. Remember, America was a signatory under Obama to the Paris Accords treaty, and it did nothing to change the weather at all

Not exactly.

Climate change threatens a majority of mission-critical military bases, Pentagon report says

"More than two-thirds of the military’s operationally critical installations are threatened by climate change, according to a new DoD report.

"The January 2019 report, 'Report on Effects of a Changing Climate to the Department of Defense,' was submitted to Congress Thursday without an official announcement of the report or a public release.

"Several environmental organizations made the report publicly available early Friday."

Climate chaos is as real as Trump's impeachment.

Ya finally got something correct.

When I look into the global warming argument, it seems most all scientists agree it's mainly caused by humans. It seems that a line is drawn between right wing and left wing whether this is true or not. May be best to opt on the side of safety and go with the scientists since the average guy knows diddley squat about science and too many politicians will take the side of the oil billionaires who support them. Time for public financed elections and make bribing politicians a crime like back in the day?
https://skepticalscience.com/global-warming-scientific-consensus-intermediate.htm

That's totally not true
97% of a tiny handpicked group of "scientists" think that.

How is it the humans that create a corporation's wealth are commodities and human investors are its owners?

Parasite, implies that you are giving nothing, to get something.

If you are spending your rightfully earned money, to invest in something that produces goods and services, how is that being a parasite?

A parasite would be like Elon Musk, getting money from the government for green-energy grants that produce absolutely nothing for the the majority of the population. That's being a parasite.

A parasite would be Solyndra collecting millions from the government under Obama, and then just disappearing.

But if you are spending your hard earned cash, to make a risky but prudent investment, and having that investment pay off.... why is that being a parasite?

And along those lines, your ending question makes no sense. Investors are the owners, because they are investors. That's why they are the owners, because they invested.

Most employees today, are also investors. I am investor myself. I own shares in about two dozen companies. Now where I currently work, I don't have stock in that company, because I don't think it's a wise investment, but other companies I've worked for, I did have stock in. So I was an employee and a part owner at the same time.

Again, if you want to take part in the profits of the company.... buy stock. Stop whining about it, and buy stock in the company.

But if you are spending your hard earned cash, to make a risky but prudent investment, and having that investment pay off.... why is that being a parasite?

Because, unless your risky investment is made in an IPO it is speculation that contributes nothing to the corporation behind the stock. It's like buying a new car vs buying a used car. In the former case, your money goes to the corporation that produced the vehicle; in the latter your money goes to another consumer.

It's like buying a new car vs buying a used car. In the former case, your money goes to the corporation that produced the vehicle; in the latter your money goes to another consumer.

We must disallow selling used cars and selling stock in the secondary market, eh comrade?

The effects of climate change are already obvious to those who are not willfully blind. While it won't "end the world" or even humanity, climate forcing will end human civilization as we know it.

"Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment.

"Glaciers have shrunk, ice on rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, plant and animal ranges have shifted and trees are flowering sooner.

"Effects that scientists had predicted in the past would result from global climate change are now occurring: loss of sea ice, accelerated sea level rise and longer, more intense heat waves."

When the pushers of the scam are living the life of riley as they have throughout history and other scams, only fools believe.

How will the richest among us protect themselves and their property if (when?) catastrophic climate chaos makes money worthless?

"Writing in the Guardian in 2018, media theorist and futurist Douglas Rushkoff related his experience of being paid half his annual salary to speak at 'a super-deluxe private resort … on the subject of "the future of technology’”. He was expecting a room full of investment bankers. When he arrived, however, he was introduced to 'five super-wealthy guys … from the upper echelon of the hedge fund world'. Rushkoff wrote:

"'After a bit of small talk, I realized they had no interest in the information I had prepared about the future of technology.

"They had come with questions of their own … Which region will be less affected by the coming climate crisis: New Zealand or Alaska? … Finally, the CEO of a brokerage house explained that he had nearly completed building his own underground bunker system and asked: "How do I maintain authority over my security force after the Event?"

"The Event.

"That was their euphemism for the environmental collapse, social unrest, nuclear explosion, unstoppable virus, or Mr Robot hack that takes everything down … They knew armed guards would be required to protect their compounds from the angry mobs.

"But how would they pay the guards once money was worthless?

"What would stop the guards from choosing their own leader?

"The billionaires considered using special combination locks on the food supply that only they knew.

"Or making guards wear disciplinary collars of some kind in return for survival."

How will poor people live without money? The rich are going to have assets that will always be worth something.

But, your end of the world scenarios are funny. Keep up the conspiracies.

How will poor people live without money? The rich are going to have assets that will always be worth something.

Millions of poor people will die or become refugees because rich parasites control the levers of government.

But not for long.

"In the event of disaster, the response of the rich hasn’t been to work with others to ensure the collective security of all those affected. It has been to use all resources at their disposal to protect themselves and their property.

"And increasingly, as in New Orleans, this protection has come in the form of armed violence directed at those less well off–people whose desperation, they fear, could turn them into a threat.'

Wonder if they are planning something?

What could go wrong?

"In the face of the climate crisis, the main priority of the global ruling class and its political servants is to batten down the hatches.

"Publicly, they’re telling school kids not to worry about the future.

"Behind the scenes, however–in the cabinet offices, boardrooms, mansions and military high commands–they’re hard at work, planning for a future in which they can maintain their power and privilege amid the chaos and destruction of the burning world around them."
