Plumes of gunk, more piles of junk.-
We are sitting firmly on an economic
funk. Not sure what future means, but almost afraid to imagine. As we continue
to peer just through a small opening, we are quick to repel what we don’t want
permeable. Whatever it is, it’s
looming. For the most part though, the
economy is doomed until we reinvent how it works. Until we innovate what
consumerism means, until we decide a new role for the American moneymaker. Even the moneymaker seems a bit of an
assumption, this detail too is dangling on an almost inevitably plucked piece
of cloth.
I heard a lady say in Wal-Mart the other day,
“people are ruthless,” I thought sure, but they’re too many things to name.
Wal-Mart is more ruthless, they’ve sent most of America’s small businesses
largely whimpering to the federal government, either to file bankruptcy or ask
if they can have just one more go at monopoly’s grasp.
