A little parable . . . . .

When the pyramids were built, it is not certain if the labor was provided by slaves or if it was paid. Let's assume it was paid. Thousands upon thousands of ordinary people labored, some for the rest of their lives, to move massive stones great distances, to raise them to great heights, and to position them with great precision. All this was done so some salted dead guy could be sealed in a gold container and be hidden away for the ages. The aggrandizement of a Pharaoh. The aggrandizing was on the sweat off their backs. We all know who Tut is. Or Ramsey. But we have not a single clue as to the identity of those thousands upon thousands of nameless, faceless laborers who toiled for the betterment of someone else.

Today there is no one Pharaoh who we work to serve. But the analogy stands. The Pharaoh is the Community Of the Uber Wealthy. They take the sweat off our backs for their aggrandizement. We remain nameless and faceless.

I suspect we're seeing the final, massive wealth grab. They've come for our pennies. Our meager retirements.

Its all about to go.

And we squabble among ourselves about absolute fucking NONSENSE.
