Going Up

In my life time nothing has went down price wise, which is pretty astounding. The price of stamps...UP. The cost of pay phones doubled and payphones are almost extinct. The price of gas is up almost 400%. I'm sure the cost of living has went up greatly but I had no idea what things cost back then so its hard to gauge that. Interestingly enough, video games have only gone up 10 dollars since the Nintendo days. Candy bars seem to be high as hell. And the thing that sparked this whole post --- Bag of chips. Crazy thing is a 25 cent bag of chips is no longer 25 cents. It's about 88 cents for the same size bag! That's a more than 300% increase with no additional product. Milk is high as hell but I'm sure the cows aren't getting paid more. Seldom in life do people get a break, so for once I'd like to see the prices of things go down. In fact the only thing that has gone down are peoples' paychecks. America needs to get back on track. Back to when it was a golden land of opportunities and freedoms. Don't get me wrong it still has wonderful things to offer but the people are suffering and I know because they told me so.

Bernie Madoff

I understand that good ole Bernie ripped off a lot of people for a lot of money, but what is the sense of throwing him in jail for 175 years (literally)?? The people that he "stole" from will still never get their money back and now tax payers have to pay for him to survive for the rest of his life. I think it would be a much better decision to have made him write a book about his life and enterprise and make the proceeds go to the families that he "schemed." I don't really feel sorry for the people though honestly. What were his credentials based on?? Did these people know other people who actually attained more money off investments through Bernie? And why give him so much money that if you lost it you would be completely broke?? Sounds like greed to me. For that matter they might as well went to Vegas and hit the Craps tables, because investments and the stock market is nothing except gambling anyway.

This is a great story. Bernie Madoff is a criminal mastermind and all you can do is throw him in jail?? He should be teaching at Universities. Talk about The Art Of Seduction, Robert Greene should be taking notes. Madoff seduced many people out of millions!!! So if he isn't the Master Seducer I can name no other. He clearly has a way with people if they trusted him with all of their money, so much that it's like they saw him as their Savior or some type of Higher Power.

People give their money to churches and Religious organizations all the time with no return, earning Pastors and Reverend millions. So Madoff's only fault is that he promised them profit?? Did he really promise them that, or was it simply implied that the investment that he made on their behalf would turn a profit? Either way why in THEE HELL would you give anybody that much money? There is certainly something to be learned here and now we are being cheated out of knowing what made him Seducer/swindler ever.
