OK…I can already tell that this is going to be one of those posts that demonstrates my incomplete thought process. Someone has got a PhD paper on this topic… 😉 These thoughts have been with me for a long time, but today seem the right time to attempt a type-out.

So…the TV/cable company here recently did an upgrade and now I occasionally get channels and shows in english. This is quite cool and i’m happy about that.
Today I watched the non-hurricane coverage for a while, and my question is “should a socialist cheer natural disasters?”.

So it seems to me that insurance companies will take a hit after any natural disaster. Reducing profits via wealth redistribution (from the insurance company/shareholders to the victims – victims being homeowners, businesses and dead people who had life insurance policies). Since insurance companies don’t really produce anything I’m not sure this is actually a bad thing…So their profits and stock price go down…bah! Who are they going to fire? People who run papers? Typists? sales jerks?
I’m not bothered…power to the people and all that.
Anyways, so a natural disaster basically has the same effect as a terrorist attack right?

i.e. tea partiers (and whiskey rebellioners..rebellionists?) steal and dump tea to hurt a corporation, OR a terrorist threatens to blow up a plane, and the airlines/airports have to buy new scanning machines, hire more security etc…airlines pass that price onto consumers…less money to spend elsewhere etc etc etc…Economic growth is depressed. Less tax money to spend on wars and stuff.

conclusion…god/mother nature (pick your preference – if you happen to believe in either) is a terrorist!!!

I’m a genius…now that I’m old I really wish I had gone to university.

Wow…I really connected the dots on that one 🙂
I quit!!!
