As any first-year econ student will advise you, there's 2 disciplines in economics - microeconomics and macroeconomics. And they don't like the other. As the U.S. Congress prepares to lower the hammer for the financial services industry, consider the forces which are butting heads and why it is just seeing that they've thought we would do this. Microeconomics may be the area that business students gravitate towards. Profit maximization could be the mantra, with marginal costs and fixed costs optimized to generate businesses as much money as possible. Microeconomics compares the world with the eyes of the CEO, who looks to accomplish what's best for his company - bring in more money and deliver value. Let's face it, for some people each day living experiences and even the thought of getting out of bed could be like a theatre of war but this faction, in the main, will have been produced by our own perception and attitude to things while they happen. In other words, these battles only rage in the heads and also the good news is the fact that all the weapons we should instead achieve victory and control the situations facing us, may also be in your heads, minds, brains or whatever we perceive because the omnipotent force controlling our thoughts and actions. For present purposes, let's use "minds" as the controlling force. Now, we simply need to trigger and prime our "virtual" weapons as a way to march on. I will immediately point out that your comments ought to I have just made are certainly not meant to apply to those being affected by serious mental disorder and certainly to never our brave men and women presently experiencing real wars. They have God?s and our blessings.
