reality,

I've done some reading and studying, sort of on my own, although mostly
I observe day-to-day realities and draw my own conclusions. But don't let
that intimidate you ( ! ) Blast away!

TheRobster,

And you attribute that increase in prosperity entirely to the free market.
The 150 years of labor struggles had little to do with it, right? We've had
this discussion before. Do you want to go over it again?

So the best solution is to ignore the problem until after I'm dead, to make a fantastic amount of money for myself right now and to put a little bit of this away to fix any problems that I might create for future generations.
On your first point: You still don't have any economic sense as far as I can see. The problems we are facing are growing much faster than any bank interest, so the mean proportional growth fails to support your hypothesis.

On your second point. You are right. So, let's invest in renewable energy. It's a good investment into the future.

On your third point. I can see you don't give a damn about anyone except for yourself. You must be a Republican. I also see you don't plan on having any children.
