Hello all,
This post topic comes at an interesting time.
Recently, working in a lube shop (oil-changes, and what-not), I have had
plenty of time to mull things over.
There is one particular realisation that has become especially clear to me.

Poot: Controlling reality, in a market-based system, isn't really that
hard. Here is my prime example .
The auto industry. Vehicles (trucks, cars, trains, plains, etc.) have come
into predominancy in the last century. Something that has changed in the
last few years though.
Although cars today are more efficient in fuel consumption, and material
production, they are considerably cheaper than cars made prior to the early
1990's.
Domestic (and a fair amount of imports) cars are built to last 5 years now.
The interval of changing parts and replacing fluids in cars, has increased
dramatically. Whereas cars used to be fairly simple mechanically, they now
require a substantial amount of upkeep.
This cost lots of money. Dont be fooled at all, regardless of what car you
buy. Between maintaining cars, paying for insurance, and for fuel, costs
are astronomical.
Cars (and some other things like t.v's, cigarettes, large homes, etc.)
although seemingly useful and necessary, are only useful and necessary
because the system supporting them is perpetuated by the financially
powerful and influential.
If you found this ^^^^unclear, I am basically saying, that we live in a
state of great excess , and equally great lack. But , its not like we have
had it any other way for the entire existence of "the state".
