The new anti-racket squad
Returning to an old point... Media no longer trains us to detect rackets and scams because everything is a racket. Training would ruin the effectiveness of everything Deepstate does.
The Tesla 'shorts' have taken up the role of anti-racket training. One of them quotes a cartoon about engineers:
Engineer's Syllogism.
1. I am good at understanding numbers.
2. The stock market is made of numbers.
3. Therefore, ... WOW! Where did all my money just go?
The old-fashioned Racket Squad and Hello, Sucker emphasized that conmen LOVE to find a sucker who is focused on numbers. Even the simplest gaffs involve lots of money sloshing back and forth. If you're focused solely on adding and subtracting the dollars and cents, you aren't asking the basic question. WHY is all this money sloshing around? WHY isn't this a plain and simple transaction, trading a specific product or service for a specific amount of money?
If you're focused on REAL VALUE, direct exchange of labor for money, you're harder to fool. The entrepreneurial gaff and MLM gaff are clear violations of REAL VALUE. You put in years of hard and creative work, betting that you might get a big payoff. The payoff comes for a few but not for most. The few who get rich are the cheaters and conmen, not the honest workers.
