The word "crisis" has been big lately: The climate crisis, the energy crisis, the food crisis, the housing crisis. Flooding, fuel wars, food riots, and foreclosures have turned the news into one long obituary for "free market" ideas. They said "crisis is opportunity" but when the financial crisis finally came around, the geniuses that run the world woke up, shit their pants, and decided that maybe capitalism was on life support.
The G20 are coming to Washington, DC on November 15 to breathe life into their dying ideas. We're showing up to unhook the feeding tubes from the Monster of the Market and throwing the best funeral ever. Come out in your sunday best, throw flowers, say a eulogy, and beat your chest as we march away from the G20 morgue and towards the birth of new ideas and a new world.
It's a terrible thing when parents outlive their children, but it's a glorious thing when children outlive their tormentors. We call on the G20 to stop all heroic measures and let their patient die without dignity. This isn't a living will, it's the Will of the Living. We're bringing the leaders of the world a DO NOT RESUSCITATE order, 'cuz we got a baby on the way and it's going to be beautiful.
