Blame those who try to produce, sue those they can with their gangs of lawyers. We live under a nasty buggy and flaw economic model prone/ready to collapse with minimal effort. A simple jet crash in the wrong place may be enough... I am yet to see stupid economists being responsible by their huge and irresponsible incompetence and inconsequent ideas. The results I am tired to see.... Like a huge gigantic casino.... stock market speculation and financial institutions rule what they should not rule and have a status they should not have due to their questionable nature.... Monopoly/Oligopoly of several natures (CARTELIZATION) behind the scenes generating huge income concentration and massive exclusion (poverty, misery .. bankruptcy) Wars as instruments of economic growth. I do not need to put examples - read the newspapers. Recently we are particularly rich with some very good examples .... really good. ... and I am yet to see those inconsequent cranks responsible for such a buggy, flaw economic model being responsible for their huge incompetence. - being responsible for the results they produce - like any other incompetent professional... I haven't seen any of these well paid "ecrisonomists" responsible for nothing... what i see is a live show of repeated excuses.... horror show of blahblahblah. .. although I can hear they screaming that they know what are doing with fingers up protected by their positions ..although I can see the results of their policies... This is just a simple plain another example to add to the list... the team of Broadcast fear... and I have to agree w/them. I've seen enough of the results around and beyond...
