WHAT IS OF VALUE?
Someone says food(we all need it-scarcity ensues-
and futures markets in pork bellies ,corn for ethanol
Someone says shelter-overheated housing prices
property crashes when flipping replaces settling
Someone says transport-millions fly
so the price goes up even with access to cheap flights
Someone says cars-so second hand cars now cost
almost as much as new ones.What of life?
Health care costs now drain us,even with longer life expectancies
Currency itself?Rare coins become a new gold
as gold exceeds its asset worth
All metals inflate as scarcity dictates markets
Dollars ,yuan,and euros battle for exchange value
yet are simple symbols of governmental deficits
Soon air will be on sale-
(oxygen machines in San Francisco/hoses @your garage)
Water is already privitized in plastic bottles
Earth is real estate.Fire is a brigade burning in West Texas
Even Dr Kevorkian is on the lip of voluntary extinction
our lives matter.They mean more than matter/symbols/exchange
Some things have intrinsic meaning-their value relies upon life itself.
