If two-thirds of our brothers are pretty much useless for the purposes of the production of goods and services, why must they suffer the deceit? To what use can we put them and pay them? What commons can they construct that are beautiful, rather than goods and services that are unnecessary?
Do you see the opportunity?

We get all this cool free stuff because google sells advertising – replacing the yellow pages.
We get all this cool free stuff because facebook sells advertising and in doing so pays for our favorite replacment for ’email’.
We get all this cool expensive stuff because Apple sells iPhones – and hardly any computers.
All three of these companies are disruptable by technolgical competiton that is not difficult to envision.
But will we get all this cool ‘free stuff’.
Like I said, apple will break first. The question is, whether they will use the ‘opportunity’ to take out Microsoft or not.
I konw how to do it. I assume people at Apple do.
But you know, they might consider it slumming.

MIAMI, DETROIT, CLEVELAND, PATTERSON, GARY, D.C.
—“No city in the United States is worse to live in than Miami. The city’s median home value of $245,000 is well above the national median of $181,200. However, with a median household income of only $31,917 a year, well below the national median of $53,657, most of these homes are either out of reach or a financial burden on most Miami residents,” the authors noted in their rationale. “Like most of the worst cities to live in, more than one in every four people in Miami live in poverty.”
They also cited “citywide violence” along with rates of incarceration, unstable employment, lower cognitive functioning among children, and “anxiety.”
Detroit was in second place on the list, followed by: Paterson, New Jersey; Hawthorne, California; Fall River, Massachusetts; Birmingham, Alabama; Memphis, Tennessee; Flint, Michigan; Cleveland, Ohio; and Gary, Indiana to round out the top-10. Washington, D.C., incidentally, was No. 46.”—

And we collapsed Europe’s pricing structure in the late 19th century the same way the Chinese have collapsed America’s today.

– Make a list of stuff that needs to get done. – Use that list to make a shorter list of what you can act on today that will get something done, or get the information needed to get it done, or get the information or resources to someone else needed to get something done. – Give those tasks to everyone that you possibly can and ask when they would like you to check back to see if it’s done. (their estimate). – Find someone to do the tasks no one else can.– As you get things done, cross them off your list.– Tomorrow morning repeat the process.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGY IN A NUTSHELL
– Make a list of stuff that needs to get done.
– Use that list to make a shorter list of what you can act on today that will get something done, or get the information needed to get it done, or get the information or resources to someone else needed to get something done.
– Give those tasks to everyone that you possibly can and ask when they would like you to check back to see if it’s done. (their estimate).
– Find someone to do the tasks no one else can.
– As you get things done, cross them off your list.
– Tomorrow morning repeat the process.
In essence, project management boils down to breaking an elephant down into little bite-sized pieces, and tracking the progress of digestion every single day without fail.
There are a few ways of making lists (simple, column/state, and timeline, and timeline with dependencies)
You can work with fixed or variable pools of people.
You can work with fixed or variable amounts of money.
You can work with fixed or variable amounts of time,
But in the end, that’s the job.
What’s changed over the years is that we don’t do everything by paper. And more and more of our economy has become project and task driven – and less and less of it driven by repeatable processes.
This trend will continue. Which is one of the reasons the lower end of the spectrum is going to be forced out of the working pool permanently.
Because we are all paid by the rate at which we learn and adapt to increasingly complex information, in increasingly large volumes, in increasingly shorter time periods, with increasingly abstract formulas and rules, and increasingly complex tools to assist us.

So physical and credit assets are of momentum price only, but liquidation value. Companies last a decade rather than a generation. Production depends on distributed networks that are efficient but fragile.
And why? Antiquarian accounting and law, and a federal reserve that uses credit as gasoline that can start the hardwood fire to a point where the only thing burning is gasoline.
