June 18 2015. The current disastrous American Business Model casts a long shadow. It corrupts, it distorts, it serves the Nation ill—and it wastes scarce resources on a truly mind-boggling scale. One of these days, there will be an accounting—and it could be sooner than we would like to think.

THE US. HAS LONG BEEN THE MOST WASTEFUL SOCIETY IN THE WORLD—IN JUST ABOUT EVERY WAY.

IT STILL IS.

I’m not sure I can add much to the above illustration. It makes the point—up to a point—pretty well. The reality, of course, is very much worse. We waste just about everything—from raw materials to food to meds to water itself—and seem to think nothing of it. And in the process, we do severe and last damage to the environment.

If this is the current American Business Model in action—which it is—it seems to me we need a new business model.
