Khat and Green Jobs; Advantage Greed

There was some demand for the video game called Advantage Greed with quantitative trading, dark pools, quantitative easing, collateralized debt obligations, tranches, hostile takeovers, leveraged buy out, hedge funds, mutual funds, down sizing, outsourcing, cheap foreign labor, cheap immigrant labor, externalities of ecosphere, plutocracy, oligarchy, concentrating wealth networking loops, public holding of a 17 trillion of dollar bag of debt, corporate welfare, higher-ed secret societies and government-corporate insider kickbacken, a revolving door military-industrial government complex, secret societies and swell graphics with lots of action and bosomy yet intelligent babes. I think that was before the rage of twittering overcame the country.

Then after 16 years of democrat party leaderships (looking to the entire Clinton and Obama terms) at deregulating Wall Street extending tax cuts for the rich and flooding the nation with cheap illegal alien workers the gaming seemed not as escapist for idealistic Republicans. Change has meant a ho-hum what's new sort of acquiescence in the concentration of wealth and forgetfulness of the war on poverty. Fortunately the administration threw in some new spice and still has wars in poor countries to stimulate a little action for defense industry fat cats.

Selecting to defend the defense of marriage act and pushing for a gay friendly military was just a start for President Obama. He has ordered the U.S. Government to stop enforcing laws against recreational marijuana use. Yet how will that set with the First Lady as advocate for health and lean diets for schoolchildren and the fat?

As has been pointed out people using marijuana get the munchies and put on weight. That makes them more tranquil and tolerant of wealth trickling upward in every networked transaction. Who needs to know or care what's what?

Khat is a mild natural leaf amphetamine that lets users chew it and skip meals while working harder. It's grown a lot in Yemen and might be considered equally as valid as marijuana for effecting body weight. It's said also to be a mild euphoric. Is the Obama administration considering advocating for khat chewing as well as marijuana?

If there is a good side to khat chewing it's that it would create green jobs in the U.S.A. that can't be outsourced. Khat chewing makes the teeth of a use turn green requiring more trips to the dentist for teeth cleaning and those dentists spend dollars locally. It may also create a demand for spittoon sales that have been in a slump since the effects of tobacco of causing cancer were discovered. One might do some data mining to learn if the government is considering promoting khat production in California's Central Valley by discovering if they have given medical research funds to find out if khat is at all carcinogenic.
