RE: DID OUR "WORLD LEADERS" JUST PUSH GLOBAL RECESSION AWAY from our doorsteps?

in #economy5 years ago

Hi @crypto.piotr,

I believe you are aware that elections are a question of pleasing, right?

What please people?

Among other things, good news. That's why there are polls and that's why polls are made to look good. There is no such politician as one who doesn't know what his electors want, so they make sure the numbers reflect that.

Another one, in today's society, is possession. People want to possess. "You may have the Galaxy 5 but I have the Galaxy 6." Want to sell a house? Tell your client what he will have the others don't, even if it's as silly as an antenna to receive all the cable chain. Let's be honest, who has ever looked at ALL the cable chain?

It's always the same. That's where such an account comes into the picture. "You'll possess more, you'll be able to get more, don't worry. Is it about putting better food on the table? Not quite. It's only so for such a small percentage of the population that a politician won't care for this type of audience unless he's playing the social card... and even so, it's for those who already have food, and want phones, computer, etc... Tell me how many people have a PC who far surpass in specs the need for what they're doing? What does the latest PC have that's essential for firing google and word, or even outlook that the one you brought 3 years ago doesn't have?

So to please the never-satiated society, they'll do such things, in order to tell them "you can possess more." For a President against him, the word "impeachment" has been pronounced, even if never enacted, he needs to please. So all kind of economic charts and 'good news' will come to please the people.

Just because they don't remember that when president A takes measures, they're only active under president B, and thus can only be judged when president C takes office, they'll think that macro-level decisions are instant. That's why... they're fooled all too easily.
