Matt, from a business point of view it's probably the greatest thing to happen to the American business in forever, but from an overall economic standpoint it's the worst thing. Not everybody was meant to be an entrepenuer, some people are just meant to be sheep (that's their role in life - there's nothing wrong with it tho). If only a certain amount of people [or 1 person] has all of the money and nobody else has any, eventually you'll have to leave elsewhere to get tha money {overseas} and that leaves everybody else with nothing. The wealth has to be able to spread to make more wealth.

but you're thinking about wealth in money terms whereas the bigger picture i'm talking about is wealth in real terms. all the silly jobs and financial machinations that have been layered on top of real wealth generating activity are not part of a sustainable system in the longer term. and yeah, some people are not going to be very useful at all, having something productive for everyone to do is a problem and probably not possible with current population levels. as it is you have all these people consuming more real wealth (resources) than they generate, driving the system into the ground. the brick wall situation with the physical economy is coming really soon now and it's technology that will save the day or at least shorten the agony/amount of people who lose their lives.
the american gov know this and are funding large investments in some very high-end energy related enterprises behind the scenes in anticipation for when an energy/resource crisis kicks in. it's gonna be too late for a lot of people perhaps, but the next real boom after the dust settles and all this financial shit implodes, as it should have already, is all to do with high-end technology, new ways of generating energy etc. we either go there or into some type of dark age/world war scenario.
