      When it comes to these kinds of industries, purely pursuing wealth comes at the expense of the whole of society.
      Obviously, from the standpoint of a business, its only objective is to increase its own prosperity.
      But the whole of society is also to be considered. A business that allows their (almost always) excessive greed to come at the expense of consumers and workers, is not one that is beneficial to society.
      It's not even that beneficial to the happiness of its main beneficiary, as happiness generally caps out at around 6 figures.

There was also the Pasack Valley line which starts from Spring Valley NY to Hoboken NJ formerly the line terminated at the Erie's Pavonia Terminal in Jersey City. Then there was the Northern Branch which ran from Jersey City to upstate NY.

    • @Nick_Tag
      @Nick_Tag 6 лет назад +3

      I sense that you are looking to provoke a reaction for this gross simplification. You missed the part about unrest in Greece and consequently Cyprus because of their close cultural ties, and Turkey taking advantage of this by with an illegal invasion from the North. Although it had a sliver of legal standing under the terms of the "Independence treaty" drawn up by the Brits. Yes it was no match and yes it was an illegal invasion, but this was 1974 before advanced satellites and during the height of the Cold War. America couldn't 100% count on Turkey as an ally and so wanted a base on Cyprus like the Brits. To achieve this ironically America funded Turkey to invade and has since admitted this under the 30-year rule. One of my Grandmas, who was being evacuated back to England with my 7 year old mum claims she even saw a few British planes also getting involved in the conflict to help Turkey. When she asked the soldiers about it they said "it was politics" even though they didn't agree with it. The Greek side of my family had links with the church and first priest, there are claims that plans for the island to be split existed as early as 1954, 'near enough' to the UN buffer zone that is still in place today. On the ground many Cypriots were in favour to join EU on the basis that the North would then be classed an occupied EU territory, but despite 'talks' there was no action and few people realise that EU is in fact partly occupied by Turkish forces.

    Here's something I know. The wealthiest family in the world, the Rothscild family. So rich, the whole corporate media around the world is payed to keep quiet about them.

    • @asgerk4837
      @asgerk4837 6 лет назад +2

      Igyzone their total wealth is estimated at 350 billion to 2 trillion spread out among all the family members, and they aren't in the news because they never do anything noteworthy

      Their wealth cannot be measured because they own storages full of gold. As for their actions, they've been financing both sides of war since Napoleon, because they control almost every central bank in the world. They have ties with the assassination of Lincoln, Garfield and JFK, because they wanted to take back the control of these banks. The one who fought most against them was Hitler himself. With the media control they made an overeacting deal of the jew genocide, while covering up the one in ukraine. Also they are directly responsible for the murder of Russian royal family and october revolution. And that's only a fragment of their power. Like I said, they control everything.

      Igyzone I actually went to school with a Rothschild at Yale, and I managed to use that connection to get a cushy job in the deep state.
      Speaking of, are you okay Igy? I've seen you're staying in more and playing a lot of drunk fortnite. She's gone man, you need to let her go.

      ChiaroscuroxX It's alright, you can work for them for all I care, but I'm not fooled. My eyes opened ever since the staged terrorist attack on WTC. Even Trump called out with a german reporter. If you believe the planes showed up then you belive that jet fuel melts steam beams which is scientificaly impossible. Bush was nothing but their puppet, of course the war in IRAQ has to be started on a false excuse of mass destructive weapons. Even Winston Churchill on 1920 made reports of Rothschild autrocities in former Soviet Union. Does nobody care why the USA has such strong ties with Israel? Well I do and the reasons aren't pretty to look at.

    FAQ: Did you know that even today's every capitalist business man and enterprise owner is a robber baron, since they rob their employees of the fair earned profit they make through hard work and sacrifice!

    • @108nighthawk
      @108nighthawk 6 лет назад +2

      name How do they rob them? Last I checked all employment in the US is done on a basis of consent. No one is a slave, they therefor choose to work where they do for the pay offered. If they are unhappy, they can quit.

    • @MrGriguta
      @MrGriguta 6 лет назад +2

      Of course they can quit! But thing is in the US capitalism is running rampant. And capitalism doesn't have the best interest of the workers at heart! A worker has to work to survive, and the only work available in this society pays him bones while the bosses are feasting on the flesh of his work meanwhile doing nothing more to earn it than pure and simple exploitation! The worst part is that the US is forcing this kind of society all over the planet.
