\u201cIf you’re looking for security in this dog-eat-dog world, try to get a gig as a mission-critical marketing\u00a0asset.\u201d<\/p><\/div>I gave this observation to Odysseus a few weeks ago \u2013 opining about the world as an opinionated dog might do:<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be owned as a pet is to be loved. To be owned as an investment is to be prized. But to be owned as a nuisance is to be abandoned in due course \u2013 or simply slaughtered.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shoe pinch? I wasn’t talking about dogs.<\/p>\n

Ordinary everyday Americans are “owned as a nuisance” to too much of the Ruling Class. Humanity is a burden to be borne by the putative elite: Not beloved pets, not prized investments but simply inherited livestock \u2013 to be locked down, stimulused if you insist, ordered around in detail, excoriated at length and otherwise neglected.<\/p>\n

None of those slaveries would be right, of course \u2013 owning and controlling people is evil. But which is worse?<\/p>\n

The Tea Party and the resultant Trump movement are slave rebellions: Slaves owned as investments by the Federal Reserve Bank have been agitating for more than a decade for a better split of their own proceeds. Am I too cynical? What about the Laffer Curve would not also apply to actual<\/em> dairy management, and not just to milking taxpayers?<\/p>\n

To Ci and Dc in power, ordinary people are mere pawns in their games. Not individuals of uniquely lovable potential and merit, but simply ciphers, tokens \u2013 livestock of unknown investment value. This is true of both political parties, and, seemingly, of virtually everyone in government: You’re not nature’s perfect problem-solver \u2013 you’re the problem.<\/p>\n

So which slaves would be wiser to rebel \u2013 the ones owned as an investment, or the ones owned as a nuisance?<\/p>\n
