They have been making us inquisitive readers follow a path that leads us in circles, and helps them sleep at night. The first thing they do is get us in the School Yard. They bombard us with Children's stories that are hand crafted with some Journalistic Integrity, but really just a focus with a Pinnacle on a nice Saturday Summer Afternoon in a Manhattan Penthouse, with a doorman waiting to lead you to a limousine to see the latest Broadway show. Sure it's fabulous but it's unreachable, all the other stories are meant to turn a child into a future sucker, always tailoring their speech and writing to that context of an unrealistic goal. Then it really starts to get dirty, the "Tween" years. Where they specifically target the viscous fifth and sixth grade girls with pretty unicorns which they will murder for. All the reading is tailored to this viciousness with a taste of blood. The teachers both male and female join in on it, and chart a course for an unreal future. When the reality of life sets in, and that is where they start bombarding the economics of life ritual to all the boys and girls who will have to get a job at minimum wage upon graduating high school. It is all about getting an apartment, and pay for expenses and giving that last drop of money for some worthless item of consuming. The important thing is to get everybody reading this, and make it the centerpoint. Even those with high aspiration are subjected to this tawdry sold conversation whose end goals is to understand that economics is not about a Social Science, no, it is about understanding your place under the yoke of the true power in this country.
Once the tawdry high school crap is over, there still exist a target group of community colleges and college students who actually have taken up reading print journalism. Every college has a lame, silly little school newspaper, that writes boring stories of little to no interest to anyone, other than the school administration and staff for their shameless promotion. Unless you work for these people full time, they make you feel as if your are missing the boat and are falling behind in honing your writing talents. Then comes the communication majors, a group of people who prey about others using the power of conversation to make you feel a bit less confident in you speaking the English Language. God forbid English not being your mother tongue, then they will really lay in on you, if you let on to them. It is all about making it look like a closed, shop, for the "talent" to work with the ownership at lower costs of less controversial stories. Now mind you nowadays, every Ivy League Math and Science whiz graduate goes into the field of Finance, instead of Science and Research. Why? Big Money pays handsomely to suck the talent into the field and help them build a replica of a good economy so they can tout it in the newspapers who have corralled a fair amount of journalistic talents into the Business Writing sector, we'll get back to that later. First we have to discuss the college graduate. Then they can retire with a few million in the bank.
Their goal is to get as many people as possible to not read. But those that do, smaller in number can be re-routed from the read real issues. Like silly little success stories about people who work 80 hour work weeks but always get a hot date on weekends. Journalist have a revolving door between public relations and legitimate media outlets, and it is a survival mode, not a choice.. Hollywood lures in journalist in droves as do advertising firm. People are always focused on "the money" because that's where the truth is. But you can't find the truth unless you get some for yourself, and their just isn't enough to go around.
At an unsuspecting time, the crap really starts to spew, because they want you to consume and buy those things that were sold to the Chinese for your spending pleasure. It is about the top ten places to eat, recopies, organic food, new gadgets, packaged clothing sets with a shave kit, you name it. The reading gets shorter into little paragraph that describe the latest consumer phase. At the same time the financial reading is alive an well with the latest mutual fund, investment opportunity which the failed banks are trying to revitalize with false promises, so long as they make a small profit, while leading people who make $15 dollars an hour to still think that they are gonna lets them retire with four million dollars. No, no you wont get more than a few hundred thousand adjusted for the inflation that you caused by consuming all those products; and that's if you're lucky. If you lose your job, then forget it. That's ok though because soon enough then you'll find a $12 an hour jobs for the rest of your life and be one of the few who will qualify for social security when you retire, like a battered Veteran. High Honor, Right?
That is the cycle of life my friends, the food chain at it's finest. It is someone who thinks they has a birthright to a chickens because they either killed the real chickens or were probably maimed heavily so they can no longer lay eggs. They are Deluded bringers of False Chickens who sing the blues and consume the better items than the rest of us.
