1. Wrap all cars in Jiffy Pop...
That way, if the bomb does go off, there's delicious popcorn everywhere!

2. R$emove all people from NYC. They can only watch it on TV instead of visiting.
Virtual Vacations.

3. Actually one of the reasons for consolidation of wealth
Is to create envy. And then also to change people to pursue those same values.

So if a group can make an icon out of wealth of money, then get people to want that money, they can get people to serve money when it is offered for a task. Thereby giving money some control. Although money can be a resource used for tasks, it can not be the only one that matters.


Much of the system is geared to increase the imbalance of money first, so that a hierarchical system of money can be ran by a single person, or corporate system once completely merged.

I will say I want money also, but I try to keep that in balance, and also show kindness as often as I can, so if asked to do something by anyone including money, I try to find a way to do it with kindness, and if not possible I try not to do it.


And not playing the game helps, so if it seems that I am getting played, I laugh at that, since I know I can see the world based on how I choose to live, think and feel.


So it is a deep topic when talking about some in much wealth, and some watching it on TV.

5. Your post reminded me of the old TV show, "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous".
Or the magazine Robb Report.

4. Well there's always the Bloomberg approach - "We need more federal money"
Fuck you Mikey. Pay for it out of your own wallet. Or get your buddies on Wall $treet to do it. They have the money.
