“Sheer” Waste?, 4

But the point here is whether within that full scale damage there is only “sheer” waste. A supplier bribes and supplies loads of useless garbage doomed to the shredder; while we bear the cost of storing and shredding it, where did the funds “wasted” to buy it end up? Other suppliers bribe and supply faulty, dangerous, useless, awful machinery, buildings, etc.; while we bear the costs of casualties, of eyesores and scraps wasting and degrading parts of our world in lieu of useful and needed products, of honest competitors thrust out of business while the crooks dump the costs of their dishonesty on the social fabric, where did the funds “wasted” to buy them end up?

Once again, wealth does not get “burned”, it gets stolen: merely transferred from hypnotized robbed honest people to crooks. It’s worth repeating here that the fundamental purpose of both totalitarian and formally democratic governments alike under the control of moneypulators is being the mere and effective squandering tool to cave countries and peoples in their infinite debt traps. And it’s worth repeating here as well that every minute apparently wasted in confusion, conflicts and wrong problems is not “wasted” at all; it’s actually a minute of this relentless operation.

Because then the next question – or another facet of the same question as it grows bigger, you may say – is: ok, there are crooks that “waste” funds into the pockets of themselves and their accomplices but… where did the “wasted” funds come from? We know the basic aim of some politicians and public officials is bribe, we know that bribe is a negligible percentage of the totality of “wasted” funds, so to appease the greed of such crooks the amount of “waste” has to be huge, isn’t it? Couldn’t it be the case that all that comes from tax income were not huge enough? And what ensues when one’s outgo exceeds one’s income? Debt. Ok, then the squanderer and the supplier are in the same crime syndicate but… what if the lender were part of it, too, as the main beneficiary?
