Commerce and Government

Management: What do managers manage? Money? Or people? Both of course, but which is prime? Which is sacrificed in lean times? Manager often manage money for their service to community for which the receive pay, or self-“interest”. Receiving money in service of money is usury by almost any definition. So rich managers are usurers, the poor, the workers, the factory laborers, construction workers (Guilds) are the “producers” at least of material things.

Our whole economic system is based on credit (obvious usury) and higher paid management (usury defined above). Insurance is another form of usury, management of money for a percent of the risk does not change what it is, usury, only its predictability, i.e. its rate, pay or loan rate. From this perspective our value system is built on usury. It this good or bad? Yes.

Aphorism 2 (again): “All words have infinite meanings and all meanings can be described with infinite words, neologisms and verbosity included" the last phrase new to the aphorism and perhaps a necessary qualifier to get to “infinite”.
