Do more with less

So it is Tuesday morning, and my posting from the other day said watch the markets. Did you watch them yesterday? They went way down, and what was the reason for this drop? Fear! I'm not a stock market guru, but I do observe things, and one of the things I have observed is a slowdown in many areas. Prices are going up on certain goods, while consumption of those goods goes down. The less you sell, the more you either raise your prices or reduce your expenses to offset the loss of revenue.
Companies are hoarding cash like never before, and the employees are being asked to do more with less. I am one of those employees! How much can one person do, and how much should they be compensated for the increased productivity? Is there consideration for the increase in errors that will occur now that 1 person is doing the job of 2 people?
Yesterday I asked why would our government finance protests against our economic system, and my answer is this: A financial Mega Power Grab like we have never seen before.
Get two groups or even more fighting with each other, about hot button issues, and when they are fighting over this and that, you consolidate power while nobody is looking. The end game here is a single currency, a single government, and a single centralized power center to rule our financial world.
How did I go from Do more with less to banks and power grabs? It's because they are all related. Banks are laying off employees, and then proposing new fees for account holders etc... Since banks do not produce tangible goods, they can just make stuff up, and keep going. Kind of like our Federal Reserve. They just print money, and throw it out there to pay for stuff, and devalue our currency. The banks do less with more, while we are all stuck doing more for less, and spending more for less.
Keep your eyes on the markets, because the "Fall of 2011" has begun, and I'm not talking about the season!
