Gambling on Hunger:investors make $$$ while people starve

submitted by theali

1 decade 4 years 6 months 2 weeks ago

Remember when gas was over $4 a gallon? Remember the global food crisis that resulted in dozens of food riots around the world and plunged over 100 million people around the world into hunger? Surprisingly, these crises werent caused by a shortage of oil or food. Instead, they were brought on by the same thing that caused the global economic crisis market deregulation. While we had to pay more for our gas and food, big-time investors made a bundle. Luckily, we already know how we can avoid future gas and food bubbles. The answer is proven and cheap all we need to do is say yes to it. Watch this video and explore the website: www.stopgamblingonhunger.com to learn more about how speculators brought about last years food and oil bubbles. And write to your members of Congress telling them to take action to avoid future bubbles. Find out more at: www.stopgamblingonhunger.com

I wish our gas would cost 4 bucks a gallon. It's currently at over 6 dollars a gallon here and shows no signs of going down. To get the 4 dollar price, we'd have to go back in time to the early 2000's, or maybe even late 90's.

Very well done, and very true.

Wall Street has nothing to do with "investments" anymore.

It's all about pumping up markets and robbing people blind.

There is no Wall Street without a bubble of some sort. There never has been.

There are no "profits" without a lot of people getting screwed, usually people who have nothing to do with the market itself.

Damn good video.
