Writers Strike Update

The A-listers are finally making their move when it comes to the seemingly unending writers strike. According to DeadlineHollywoodDaily.com, George Clooney has volunteered to set up a "mediation panel." He plans to ask Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, John Wells (exec producer of ER) to join him. How many other A-listers will join him?

Do you think getting such high-end celebrities will help end this strike once and for all?

Don't believe one optimistic word from any public figure about the economy..They are all part of the problem..Its like a game of Monopoly..The richest 1% now own more than 1/2 of all United States wealth..That is more than the upper,middle,and lower classes combined..Now,a recession is inevidable..The middle class can no longer afford to sustain their share of the economy..But the rich won't stop..They will do whatever it takes to get even richer..This is going to end just like a game of Monopoly..A total collapse of the US economy..Probably within a decade..The richest 1% live like royalty while the rest of us fight over jobs,food,and gasoline..Don't fall for this 'good will' BS from celebrities and executives..Remember..They are filthy rich EVEN AFTER their tax deductable contributions..Greedy pigs..Now, we are headed for the worst depression of all time..Crime,poverty,and suicide will skyrocket..SEND A "THANK YOU" NOTE TO YOUR FAVORITE MILLIONAIRE..Please copy and spread the word..

Great Depressions are caused by the huge transfer of wealth to a tiny minority at the top of the pyramid, which as Einstein put it, causes 'instability' in the 'utilization of capital' which then results in 'increasingly severe depressions' correlated directly with the degree of income inequality that has developed in a society. In other words, greedy millionaires and billionaires are going to cause the worst economic and cultural crisis of all time. As their paychecks get bigger and bigger, our economy becomes more unstable. IT WILL COLLAPSE. I'm not discounting other factors like China, subprime, or gas prices. But all those factors combined still pale in comparison to that HUGE transfer of wealth to the richest 1%. Look it up. Bottom line. The middle class will soon live in poverty because of people like Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, and EVERY CELEBRITY. So don't fall for their 'good will' 'humanitarian' BS. Its nothing but a sad excuse for their incredible greed.

Not many celebrities share a penney of their wealth? Are you kidding me? THEY ALL DO. Thats right. They all STEP IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA AND WRITE A CHECK. They also run their mouths about poverty, starvation, human rights, ect. Its just business. If you're a public figure, your people arrange for you to be involved with some 'humanitarian' effort. Its just that simple. Michael Vicks (dog fighting), Marc Anthony (tax evasion), Bernie Ebbers (Worldcom scam), Jeffery Skilling and Kenneth Lay (Enron), Martha Stewart (insider trading), Paris, Britney, Lindsey, ect. IT IS A SHAM. These people don't want to make the world a better place. They want to APPEAR AS IF THEY DO. IT MAKES THEM RICHER (think sponsors, endorsements, contracts, free air time, publicity, and IMAGE). Its all just business. Nothing but worthless tax deductable PR CRAP. WAKE UP CELEBRITY JUNKIES. NO HUMANITARIAN WOULD DELIBERATELY EXPAND THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICH AND POOR. EXTREME WEALTH MAKES WORLD PROSPERITY ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE.

Angelina, Bono, Paul, Lebron, Michael, Lindsey, Paris, Britney, George, Bill, Beonce, Martha, Steven, Kanye, Brad, Tom, A-Rod, ect. THEY KEEP GETTING RICHER! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM! RICHER, AND RICHER, AND RICHER, AND RICHER. ITS THE FILTHY RICH STINKING ROTTEN GREEDY 1% CLUB!! THIS IS ALMOST ENTIRELY THEIR FAULT!! THEY ARE THE PROBLEM!! DON'T FALL FOR THE HUMANITARIAN BS!! CHARITY IS NO EXCUSE FOR GREED!! GREED IS PURE EVIL!! GREED WILL CAUSE THE WORST ECONOMIC DEPRESSION OF ALL TIME!! GREED WILL EVENTUALLY TANK EVERY ECONOMY IN THE WORLD!! GREED WILL CAUSE A GLOBAL RECESSION AND THE FALL OF MODERN SOCIETY!! I SPEAK THE TRUTH!! ALBERT EINSTEIN TRIED TO MAKE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND!! LOOK IT UP!! DO THE MATH!! ASK ANY PROFESSOR OF ECONOMICS!! EXTREME WEALTH MAKES WORLD PROSPERITY ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE!!

Get a clue. Its not about how much one gives. Its about how much they KEEP. Don't take my word for it. Take the word of Albert Einstein -"The world has enough for man's need but not for his greed." Do you have any idea what he was refering to? I'll give you a clue. LIMITED RESOURCES. You know. Those things like land, food, timber, energy, ect. Celebrities squander them like there is no tomorow. Oprah Winfrey owns a dozen mansions. Bill Gates main house is 40,000 square feet. Algelina owns several. Tom, Paul, Bono, ect. They all squander energy and travel extensively. So you blind fools can worship them all you want. The truth is what matters to me. These people are not 'humanitarians'. They are disgusting hypocrite frauds. IT TAKES NO COURAGE TO GIVE A DOLLAR WHEN YOU KEEP 10 FOR YOURSELF. It takes courage to deny your greedy impulses. We live on a planet of limited resources. Without conservation and a reasonable distribution of wealth, THERE WILL NEVER BE WORLD PROSPERITY OR ANYTHING EVEN CLOSE!!

Unfortunately, it would take a MASSIVE awakening nationwide to prevent the depression. Most people don't understand basic economics. The truth is a dirty little secret about unbridled capitalism. Money does not grow on trees. The government can't just print up more on a whim. So when too much wealth accumulates at the top, there is a domino effect. The middle class goes further into debt and the lower class further into poverty. A similar rule applies worldwide. This makes world prosperity mathematically impossible. So what can we do about it? We can stop directly supporting high profit low labor industries (Hollywood, pro sports, credit, cell phone, pharmaceuticals, gambling, jewel trade, high fashion, ect). but that would only slow the transfer of wealth. Not stop it. Unfortunately, we are all stuck on a runaway train. Oprah, Angelina, Bono, and Bill are not part of the solution. They are part of the problem. THEY KEEP GETTING RICHER. I will not stand by and let these greedy pigs go down in history as humanitarians. THEY ARE DISGUSTING HYPOCRITE SLOBS!!

For this reason, I hope the writers strike is NEVER resolved. I realize that a lot of 'common folk' also work in the industry. But not enough to justify the HUGE chunk of our nation's GDP (about 5%). High profit low labor industries are usually bad for America and usually bad for the world. Hollywood is no exception. It draws wealth from the entire nation and concentrates it in hot spots like California and New York. THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE POOR HET POORER. This is bad for the overall economy. I realize that people voluntarily support this industry. But they do so with little or no understanding of economics. I did so for a long time as well. Not anymore. The concentration of wealth causes a dominoe effect of socio-economic problems. Like the current recession. Millions will suffer because of this. Unemployment, crime, and poverty will spike in '08'. and thats just the beginning. WE ARE IN BIG TROUBLE. IT ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT WORK THIS WAY. GREED KILLS. IT WILL BE OUR DOWNFALL.
