"Why throw money at problems?"

Filed under: Politics, LiteratureKyle Email @ 06:29:00 pm

In his 1997 novel Timequake, the life-long Socialist Kurt Vonnegut writes,

[We have] faithless custodians of capital making themselves multimillionaires and multibillionaires, while playing beanbag with money better spent on creating meaningful jobs and training people to fill them, and raising our young and retiring our old in surroundings of respect and safety.

For Christ's sake, let's help more of our frightened people get through this thing, whatever it is.

Why throw money at problems? That is what money is for.

brisbane swimming poolI am thinking why money is so powerful than strength. Without money there were no food except of course who lives in the ruins...
