Shes the biggest ever built! What man power! What grandeur! ALL ON BOARD FOR HER MAIDEN VOYAGE!
See her towering smoke stacks of might! (one is fake by the way)
watch how the workers fuel her from within!
See her in all her glory! Crushing smaller ships beneath her wake and forcing them ashore!
She sails free on the open ocean, distance is no object!
She is an incredible combination of engineering, muscle and money! She cannot possibly fail!
…
All was well aboard The Titanic, until that faithful night…
“ICEBERG!!! OH NO!! ITS TOO LATE!!! **** !!!”
“Captain!” said the first mate, “What are your orders!”.
“Close the bulkhead doors… That will at least give those above a chance”.
“what of the life boats sir!” the first mate shouted back grimly
“Women and children first, there aren’t nearly enough lifeboats for everyone…”
…
And so those blow the decks of The Titanic perished when it sank, and many of those above were sucked down along with it.
Only the few whose lifeboats were successful managed to survive.
…
Some say The Titanic sank because of its sheer size, some say it sank because it was weakly designed.
Did things like a fake smokestack, or lack of lifeboats contribute to its failure?
Perhaps the captain was at fault, or it was simply to dark to navigate. Maybe the iceberg was simply unavoidable.
I’m talking about the Unites States of America of course, and Canada by extension even if simply by being sucked down along with it. This analogy seems to me a frighteningly apt resemblance to my ideas about extreme capitalism.
Thoughts?
