Life for Rent

I love music, all kinds of. I enjoy reading the lyrics with the rhythm. I can easily fall in love with a song just because of a sentence of lyric that I feel strong about it.

I am always moving from this city to that city, from this job to that job. No ending but a stop spot for a while. Therefore, every time when I listening Dido’s Life for Rent just feel this song is just for me.

I haven't really ever found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again
I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind
that your heart ain't exactly breaking
It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
I've always thought

that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world aloneand live my life more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me

It's just a thought, only a thought
But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
Well how can I say I'm alive
If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

If my life is for rent...

Actually everyone is renting the life, but differ in why, how and where. I never stick in one place even though I deeply fall in love with my hometown, but still I am moving with little new expectations and bit beat.

Victoria Day

I should thanks HDI offered me a trip to Canada, so that after all we, cousin sisters/brothers had this opportunity to meet each other in Vancouver. I am so happy to see Pema, Jigme in first time, and meeting again Tsering with his family.

Today, I was hoping that we could make a trip to Victoria together but Tsering’s wife are in due date, so I went with Pema, and we had a great time over there. Blood is thicker than water, I believe, though we have never met before and I have not much in common, but the feeling is so strong.

西方骗子与东方傻子的经济学

先说几句题外的话,算是前言好了:

大多数经济学家都是骗子,不同的是有的有文化,有的没有文化。仅此而已 。

有文化的骗子善于使用墨菲定律,把简单的欺诈复杂化、学术化,就是把坏心包藏在科学的光环之下来欺诈你。比如,明明是不花钱往自个家里搬国有的资产(侵吞)可人家摇身一变为“MBO”,不明白了吧,要的就是你的不明白,堂而皇之,公而也就私之了。

没文化的骗子善于忽悠,就是说绕,夹七夹八的把你搞晕为止。比如,你说房子太贵了你买不起,他就告诉你GDP今年增长了10%,你说最近矿山总是出事,他就告诉你“谁要你生在中国”。呵呵,晕晕乎乎之间你或恍然大悟或一撅不振 。最后下场就是被人绕进买了老赵的那根拐,完事。

总之,他是骗子的,你是傻子。   

正文一:西方的骗子是怎么骗的?

西方有米国,没当骗子之前是强盗,没当强盗之前是穷棒子。生为穷棒子之时,相信勤劳致富,可辛辛苦苦干了一年,发现表兄弟出去抢上一票够自己干一辈子的。于是先愤恨后眼红,跟着做强盗。江湖在变,一天看英雄片看到一句话 “现在的社会靠的是用脑不是打打杀杀”于是改做骗子。

怎么才能当好一个合格的骗子呢?

经济学有二个基本的公式是任何一个合格的骗子所必须认真领会和掌握的。

公式一:资产=负债+所有者权益

通俗而言,这个公式说明白了一件事情,就是资产的来源有二个渠道,一是自己的,一是借来的。但不论是自己的还是借来的,都是资产,都是你所能控制和使用的。明白这一点的重要意义在于,要想富,得会借。

比如,你有10万,是你自己的全部资产,你所能控制和使用的资源就只有10万了,这点钱,只能维持温饱,不够买车也不够买房。要有车有房子,你还得想办法去挣个90万。于是,你努力工作,年薪5万,18年不吃不喝才能攒够100万,奔向小康。很明显,抱着这个念头,你成不了先富一代,只能沦落为穷人.

所以,骗子走的是另外一条路,同样是100万的目标,骗子的想法就是如何能借到90万。借到手了,只要不还,这有车有房的好日子就能享受了。一句话,就资产而言,是先富裕起来了。

实话实说,现在的富人,其资产有多少又是真正属于其自己的呢。因此,对资产需要看重的是控制和使用权。而不是所有权。

资本主义的经济学家折腾了几百年,终于明白了这个道理。富裕不是靠劳动来的,甚至不是靠利润积累的,富裕是靠借钱借出来的。 米国人于是开始借钱过日子了,靠武力建立出米元的强势地位,说白了,就是要你必须承认他的钞票好使,好到1:8或者1:80的程度。你给产品米国,米国给你钞票。然后,为了使得你手中的米钞不会贬值,再要求你把米钞再借给他。然后再用米钞来买你的产品。这样一来,想不富裕也就成了一件难事。(格领斯潘推行了长期的低利率政策,就是要米国人民逼上这一条借钱过小康的富裕之后。所以米国人现在的储蓄率为负数)

骗子需要找到一条骗的技巧,这个技巧说穿了就是这么简单。但有技巧不代表就能骗到钱,所以还需要欺骗的对象,欺骗的对象越傻,钱越好骗。

于是骗子开始制造傻子。西方的骗子先把骗术包装,以科学和民主把骗术包装成经济学后就开始灌输给了东方的精英。东方的精英看了包装狂喜之下先忘记了自己姓什么,(传统文化)然后吞下西方资本的筵席的剩饭(分一点利益)之后,成了一知半解的经济学家。开始在东方大量复制傻子(教育产业化)。人家说全球经济一体化,我们就说加入WTO是时代的需要。人家说产品应该多出口,我们就把自家变成一个大工厂,拼命的生产出口创外汇。

自身的资源化为花花绿绿的票子后,傻子开始有点发呆了。这票子该怎么用。1亿条裤子换来了一亿的钞票,可是再买西方的裤子,人家贴个牌子这裤子就不是裤子成了时装,一条抵你一百条。太贵,买不起吧。买飞机,这玩意也忒贵,每公斤(包括马桶)1万米元,如此买下去,也非穷不可。所以,东方的傻子觉得米元来之不易,用之心痛。决定留着。西方的骗子于是说,我给你利息,你借给我吧。傻子于是感觉遇到了好人,流着感激的眼泪借给了西方的骗子。苦难开始恶性循环了。把钱借出去,出让了货币的使用权,自己没得用了,没得用了,自己的发展能力必然减弱了。越弱就只能越出卖体力,越出卖体力就越无力发展。越无力发展就越弱,而一味的弱下去必然就软了。

正文二:东方的傻子为什么傻?

公式 利润=收入-费用。

东方的傻子看了这条公式,理解为,钱应该是通过增加收入,减少费用得来的。于是东方的傻子拼命的多出口,增加收入,玩命的减少费用(降低工资,减少必要的设施,甚至是安全设施)来赢取利润。

什么是利润,利润应该是钱,但钱是什么,傻子傻就傻这里了。钱只是一张张的纸,钱背后所代表的资源的占用和消耗的权利才是实质。傻子只要钱,要更多的钱,而忘记了生产的本意是满足人民群众的不断增长的物质和精神需要。所以,傻子把钱借出去生钱。把自己的产品卖出去换钱。可惜,富裕不是在于你生产了多少,而是在于你消费了多少。生产了,你享用不到,所以依然贫困,纸上富贵必定不是真实的富贵。这么简单的道理,傻子就是不明白。(当然,傻子中的精英是享受到了,所以一点也没觉得自己傻)

傻子还不明白一个道理,借钱应该借给谁?傻子以为钱应该借给有钱有势的财主,因为财主肯定还得起。但是,傻子又忘记了,财主不还钱的话,自己二手空空,财主武装到了牙齿。可奈之以何?傻子再傻这时大概也不会相信可以诉讼以法律来讨回银子吧。法律是维护谁的利益的?况且,钞票只是一张纸,真想要,人家多印刷几张就是。你拽在手里,有劲吗?

西方得骗子越骗越富,东方得傻子越傻越穷。道理就这么简单。
