Why people don't want to see a total global collapse.

Murders abound and bodies aren't found, the police aren't around to do anything about it, cities crumble and standards of living implode.

Funny how these Dark Age perks are already emerging under the shadow of a growing PLUTONOMY.

We're entering into an era of chaos and ruin for the 99% and absolute naked opulence for the Plutocracy. What's happening in the story below will eventually become a nationwide thing.

Vacant Detroit Becomes Dumping Ground for the Dead

By COREY WILLIAMS Associated Press
DETROIT August 2, 2012 (AP)
From the street, the two decomposing bodies were nearly invisible, concealed in an overgrown lot alongside worn-out car tires and a moldy sofa. The teenagers had been shot, stripped to their underwear and left on a deserted block.

They were just the latest victims of foul play whose remains went undiscovered for days after being hidden deep inside Detroit's vast urban wilderness — a crumbling wasteland rarely visited by outsiders and infrequently patrolled by police.

Abandoned and neglected parts of the city are quickly becoming dumping grounds for the dead — at least a dozen bodies in 12 months' time. And authorities acknowledge there's little they can do.

"You can shoot a person, dump a body and it may just go unsolved" because of the time it may take for the corpse to be found, officer John Garner said.

Is there a way to blockade countries who hide money offshore?

Or, better yet, steal it back, electronically?

I want to see all the Plutocrats who hide their money offshore, taken from their homes and put in prison.

I don't care if every CEO in the world quits and flees to their little Gulch in Colorado. Go for it! You can be replaced. Let the workers take over your companies and take a greater share in the profits they generate.

Steve Jobs would have never put any Macintoshes to market without the workers. But his still-living peers sure love to think they're the be all and end all of society, and now they're draining society dry of money? Naw. Hell naw. Lock them up and seize everything they own down to their great grandpappy's buckskin rubbers.

$21 trillion hidden offshore. There's no way we should allow that. The Plutocrats are a dog that forgot the length of their chain.

Go gun control!! Chinese teenager kills eight people in an effing KNIFE ATTACK RAMPAGE.

Time to start outlawing knives.

I posted this here because I'm sure that it'll get closed down on the GD. But it REALLY needs to go on the GD. Gun control laws don't stop murders.

Fine, outlaw guns. What do we do now about knives?

A teenager has been arrested after killing eight people and wounding five others in a knife attack in northeast China, state media reported Thursday.

The 17-year-old, which was identified only by his surname Li, barged into the home of his girlfriend armed with a knife following an argument and killed two relatives of the girl, the Legal Daily said.

As he left his girlfriend's home in Liaoning province's Xinbin county, he stabbed six more people to death and wounded five, it said.

He was arrested at the scene of the attack, late on Wednesday night, and was taken into custody, the official Xinhua news agency reported.
