nothing is worth anything if it is not worth something

it seems the only way the moon is going to receive anymore visitors, is if she can produce something corporations can make money off of.

this is capitalism run amok. there was an obituary article on the front page of the times today for john kenneth galbraith. this harvard university professor argued that the free market economy was a myth and that the 1,000 largest american corporations dominated both our economy and our social life.

Giant corporations essentially operated free of competition, he said, often turning out frivolous goods for an increasingly consumer-minded society, while the capitalistic economy ignored more pressing social needs. "Americans still have an extraordinary capacity to ignore poverty," Galbraith told an interviewer in 1983. "I am struck by our superb capacity to manufacture consumer gadgetry. including electronic games, versus our capacity to produce schools."

glabraith's most noted work was "the affluent society," which was published in 1958.

now we see the only way we can run a space program and increase traffic to the moon is if we can find a way to make it profitable for corporations? That is pathetic, don't you think?
