One rich guy will own India one day. Then...

Reproducing a cartoon by Tom Tomorrow on the Psychohistory-Historical Motivations Forum, Jerrold Atlas noted that what was depicted in it had actually happened long ago in Argentina.  There, in a chain action, the ever-rising cost of electricity made it accessible to fewer and fewer people, who in larger and larger numbers illegally tapped into the power lines, which forced the electricity companies to raise the price of power higher and higher on the few who could afford it, and eventually, only one very rich person paid the bill for the whole country.

Dr. Atlas further noted: “Humor is a coping mechanism and also signals the group's sense of being screwed. It is a signal of the large frustration by the many against the few. It is a warning to the few and they respond in various ways to prevent themselves from losing power – ‘police armies’, slashing safety nets, ending help for the young/poor/sick/seniors/public employees/working-middle classes/rigging voting districts/denying voting rights/corrupting all governance systems/buying congress people and judges/controlling the media.  Oh wait, that's what they're doing right now.”

As is evident from the cartoon itself, it relates directly to the U.S. super-rich individuals and corporates. But it can be about India too. With a class of political leaders that is ready to crawl when asked by the moneyed masters only to bend running the show, we are moving along the same path.
