Neither, it's human stupidity of which there are only typical examples.

“Capital must protect itself in every way… Debts must be collected and loans and mortgages foreclosed as soon as possible. When through a process of law the common people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and more easily governed by the strong arm of the law applied by the central power of leading financiers. People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. This is well known among our principle men now engaged in forming an imperialism of capitalism to govern the world. By dividing the people we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us except as teachers of the common herd.” - JP Morgan

Read that last sentence again: divide and conquer.

What a load of old shite.

There ain't a problem. Apart from the usual depression afflicting CollarMe.

Look......you can have anything you want in this world....tits....work.....leisure....shoes.....hair......pies........IPods.......chicken wings.

The most interesting thing about (some) people is their capacity to grasp defeat from the jaws of victory.

Get a fuckin' grip.

You've just touched on one of the main reasons for foreign aid....it allows the Gvt to pay farmers for their excess food...without foreign aid, a shitload of farms would go tits up.
