The G 20 has returned, like a winter cold. Or locusts. This time it has settled on Toronto. The meeting to promote economic growth has again shut the host city down, closed the roads--so the guests can travel easily, closed the restaurants to outsiders--so the guests can eat and entertain each other without the irritation of outsiders, closed the entertainment sites--so...so...so. It is so obnoxious and so offensive that it is surprising the average guy tolerates it.
The ruling elite has a lot of chutzpah. They create policies that wreck the economies then they hold unbelievably inconveniencing meetings to redesign the economies they have wrecked. This is all done with the open mouthed respect of the average guy who does not seem to connect the elite with the mini depressions that accompany their trips and meetings. If the elite had any interest in the average guy they would at least stop using their towns for dystopia practice and police training. They should go somewhere like a military base or an aircraft carrier and at least remove the mini disasters they create with their beneficial visits. But I bet they will not do that, at least until the average guy stops their malignant visits by refusing them. The elite just can not resist thrill the deference and the specialness that these visits among the little people gives them.
And where would the good food come from?
