The problem with problems.

[OldWiseGuy]

When a societal problem actually becomes not only part of our culture but an important part of our economy is the failure to solve it actually an open, and possibly necessary, conspiracy?

Or Stupidity.

Just think of the progress we could make if half the population wasn't employed to clean up the messes the other half creates. (Figures are arbitrary, for illustrative purposes only.)

You will need to be more open about what you are saying , Sorry but I cant understand you , so I imagine many others wont either.

Crime for example. It's a huge industry employing millions of people and generating $billions for the economy. It's just one of many 'geese' that lay golden eggs.

The problem with problems is their classification as problems when they’re really solutions.

Crime isn’t a problem. Its an avenue for enrichment and control. Which begets further control through laws and punishment. Which creates other ‘problems’.

There’s more than one way to skin a cat. The skinning isn’t important once you’ve broken its spine.

Society is the cat. Skinning is the means. Subjugation is the goal.

True. Crime is only a problem for its victims. Everyone else gets a paycheck.

You can only skin a cat once. Not so with people.

When you cease to believe the words put forth and judge by behavior you’ll understand. All the world’s problems are the result of three issues: power, control, and greed.

Anyone desiring it has no regard for fairness, democracy, or equality. It contradicts their goals. Power never shares.

It would have to part of a larger plan.
