This week New York City is full of diplomats and so called leaders running around in their limos loaded with their US security entourage creating big traffic jams. I was walking on Madison Avenue around 56 Street when I saw a group of FBI or CIA looking agents, like ten of them protecting the wives or family members of these dignitaries. The first thought I had was” what a waste of tax payers money to protect all these people that are doing more damage than good to the world”, probably a lot of them are part of corrupt regimes and governments. Here we are protecting them as they shop at high end luxury brands in NYC with most likely revenues from their nation’s people’s income paid for by our very over extended and severely in debt USA government. The worst part is that the United Nations accomplishments are very little on the expense to results ratio. But yes are putting up with all this traffic, cost and annoyance for not much. I say the General Assembly should be broadcast online via Skype. It would be best for all of us on this planet. This meeting is a big waste of fossil fuels and stolen funds. The next step would be for the UN to go condo.
