It can't be said often enough - wealth is not currency, it's what you can buy with that currency.

It's product available, initially in the marketplace, and subsequently in our possession.

So if we want to become wealthy, we have to produce product, not manipulate the value of money (unless we're a banker playing zero-sum games with the currency to rip off everyone else).

Barbara Boyd reports on the latest action taken to make America productive again ...
... whilst we pay Ed Miliband to ruin us pointlessly by strangling our energy supplies.

Lest anybody thinks that we can't poke "fun" at the UK political scene just as well as that of Germany, Andy brings us up to date with a compilation of prime ministerial utterances ... how can we allow such people into high office? Given that they soon bring down that office to their own level.

Just for the record, like other prime ministers before him, this guy is a product of the system, just as they all are. Fire one, get another ... simply a new face on the same hydra.

Peer Pressure

Fall in with the wrong crowd, fall in with the wrong peer pressure.

It's pretty much that simple.

So it is with drugs. Go to the NHS, get drugs.

Better still, fall in with the wrong group, get cannabis and/or other "recreational" drugs. Get schizophrenia (or other descriptive "diagnosis"), go to the NHS and get more drugs to offset the effects of your recreational usage. 

Yet we did not fall ill for want of a pharmaceutical product. 

You can see where this is going. It's so easy to follow the herd and get inappropriate intervention upon inappropriate intervention, and it doesn't end well.

Except for Big Pharma of course, who continue to get high prices for stuff that may not work and we pay through the nose in taxes for "free at the point of use" .... it's a business model to die for, but it's not Big Pharma that does the dying.

A while ago I had occasion to look up the websites of a number of local(ish) mental health clinics. The customer comments sections all stood in stark contrast to the official story about the caring services that they offered, and I resolved never to go near such places. OK, that's "anecdotal" and so of no consequence whatever, but maybe a little similar research before blessing any such establishment with our custom might be advisable!

Alex Berenson explores another aspect of the problem of drugs. To a legislator, every problem looks like a pressing need for a new law just as a man with a hammer looks for another nail.

Alex isn't much different, but law is a remote influence in the face of peer pressure ... and his book title effectively concedes the point.

Whilst law may help or may hinder, fundamentally, it's not the go-to solution for a societal problem.
