I looked at this image and read the comment by Lee Camp. He wrote "But you know, who's counting?"
I replied:
Lee Camp: You ask,"Who's counting?"
I'm counting. I'm counting the 12 aircraft carriers in the US Navy's fleet, 10 active and two on reserve. I'm counting the one they're having built, the one that's behind schedule, rife with technological problems, and over budget, currently $1.3 Trillion.

I'm counting the Chinese Navy's fleet of aircraft carriers (ONE, with another under construction). I'm counting the aircraft carriers owned by and on active duty for the nations of the rest of the developed world (ZERO!)
I'm counting the tanks, and the aircraft, too. More on that when you post your future photos.
Then I read Robert D. Turner's post, and had to reply. He's right, you know. Bankers are in it for the money, and not money tomorrow but money NOW!
Goldman Sachs got some flunky at the SEC to permit them to speculate on commodities. They did so immediately. In 2008 they drove commodity prices of wheat to 6 and 7 TIMES the normal range and caused food riots in thirty nations. SIne then, they have been buying warehouses to store commodities like aluminum and other metals to drive their prices to the limits. These men, called investment bankers, are pariahs.
Your turn, folks.
Joseph Malgeri But they could. Imagine if the poor were fed enough to allow them to learn, if they learned enough to create, to offer value to employers., OMG! You're right, Robert D Turner, they see them as poor. Yet they never read Muhammad Yunus, or heard of the Grameen Bank. Have you?http://www.youtube.com/results... Send this link to the bankers. He speaks better English than they. His bank has over 7.5 million members. His bank is now operating in parts of the USA, serving ONLY WOMEN with small business loans. Please, Robert, share this. Wake the bastards up.
- Joseph Malgeri Robert D Turner, I hope you'll share this, too. A decade or so ago (Clinton was POTUS) the world's leaders set a goal of eliminating poverty by 50% (as I recall) by 2015. Bangladesh, Yunus' country is the only one close. He is promoting the vision of someday building Poverty Museums around the world so people can come to see what poverty USED TO LOOK LIKE. I marvel at his gifts to the world.
