Bankruptcy in American Ethics: The New World Order
"DAEGU, South Korea (Reuters) - Billionaire investor Warren Buffett believes Japan's devastating earthquake is the kind of extraordinary event that creates a buying opportunity for shares in Japanese companies."
While in the middle of struggling for survival, while still finding their dead to bury, we have the corporatist flying in like vultures to see what are the pickings for the festering carcasses. It is disgusting. It is a disgusting fact of life. While the world looks on and praises Japan for the calm orderly manner that they navigate through this crisis, and while we praise them for not looting--here we have an American Tycoon describing ways to loot Japan of its resources. How capital?
The corporatist mentality has no manner of scruples. There are many who will defend this action as a kind of, "to the victor belongs the spoils," but the sentiment is tantamount to stealing a wounded mans wallet because he will not be needing it any time soon.
So is it of any surprise that, "some U.S. hedge funds have been branded "vultures" for buying assets on the cheap in the wake of a crisis, the articles goes on to say. It appears that the notion of ethics is so far removed from business mindedness that events like earthquakes and tsunami's and fallen governments, are fair game. It is after all the call of the wild, the primitive urge that is unrestrained and as such we are only all too close to falling out of the trees.
