It’s Not China; It’s Efficiency That Is Killing Our Jobs
It’s Not China; It’s Efficiency That Is Killing Our Jobs - DYSKE.COM
When someone owns a means of production that is more efficient, it can eliminate a large number of jobs, and he stands to profit handsomely from the money he saves. In other words, it’s not so much that American jobs are going overseas; those who own efficient means of production are now pocketing the money that they used to spend on hiring people.
Revealed – the capitalist network that runs the world
When the team further untangled the web of ownership, it found much of it tracked back to a “super-entity” of 147 even more tightly knit companies - all of their ownership was held by other members of the super-entity - that controlled 40 per cent of the total wealth in the network. “In effect, less than 1 per cent of the companies were able to control 40 per cent of the entire network,” says Glattfelder. Most were financial institutions. The top 20 included Barclays Bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co, and The Goldman Sachs Group.
How personalization isolates you from the real world
Gambling with hunger
“But in order for the financial industry to tap this new business area, market access had to first be expanded. It was strictly regulated, and for good reason. The finance industry’s lobbyists got to work, and succeeded in 1999, when the US Commodities Futures Trading Commission substantially deregulated the futures markets. Now banks were permitted to hold large positions in commodities securities.”

The beginning fo the end for Facebook
Millennial Generation’s Web Dominance On The Decline , Pew Study Says
The fastest growth on social networking sites like Facebook has come from the G.I. generation, those aged 74 or older
Facebook’s bet is to make the new generations getting online now, feel as excited about Facebook as the current generation are. However, this will not happen. It is all a game of perception. Facebook stops being cool when your mum, let alone your “grand-dad” is there.
Also, this world craves novelty. Not only will Facebook in a few years time (as short as 2?!) become less innovative, but they’ll be approaching what I call “brand fatigue”: just plain boredom with their design and image, based on having seen them so much. It is my personal theory that the new generations need less time to experience this phenomena than any of the previous ones.
Book piracy is “about to arrive on a massive scale”

Eventually all companies will fail
A good strategy is once your current product becomes successful, start to think and build the next product which is the killer product of your current one.
Every living organism contains within itself the seeds of its own destruction, so do companies. It happened to Microsoft and will happen to Google next, once the PR tide turns against it.
At one point companies become too big, too successful…”evil’. From a psychological standpoint, humans like a winner…but only for a limited time. Once the winner is in place for too long, it is human nature to join the ranks of the winner’s enemies. Human beings resent to feel like losers for too long.
A good way to avoid this at the corporate level is to split your business into smaller, independent units under a totally different brand. Even better if they seem to compete with the market leader, which can be owned by yourself, the market leader, behind the scenes.
