#Money, the interesting thing about it is if you #exist in #poverty, you desperately need it for your day to day survival, then if your on the opposite end as in being a multi million or billionaire in reality money means nothing, because everything you own and do is leveraged off of debt that you one don't actually own and second can never actually satisfy, and the rules of the game are very different for those in poverty, and the rules are slightly different if your in the middle, but if your on top, the rules don't apply to you unless somehow your generation and hoarding of wealth imposes upon another top income holder, basically if your in poverty all the way to the bottom end of double digit millions, your beholden to the entire state if it where, and beyond that the entire state apparently is beholden to you and your ability to leverage debt, it is a rigged system of epic inequality and strongly embraces prejudice against the rest of us whom simply would appreciate the basics in life to be readily available without so much turmoil, and stress to our mental and physical wellbeing, money is an illusion of power and has left far to many of us going hungry, literally;

"I Get Around" is a song by American rock band #theBeachBoys and the opening track from their 1964 album #AllSummerLong. Written by #BrianWilson and #MikeLove, the autobiographical lyrics describe the group's reaction to their newfound fame and success, as well as their restlessness concerning the #statusQuo, and their desire to find new places "where the kids are hip". It was released as a single in May 1964, with the B-side "#DontWorryBaby".

A quotation (not) from Richard Feynman

You are under no obligation to remain the same person you were a year ago, a month ago, or even a day ago. You are here to create yourself, continuously.

Die #Botschaft, dass es ein #Morgen gibt sei #stärker als die der #LetzteGeneration die #suggeriert, dass es das nicht gäbe, es sei denn alle lassen ihre #Auto​s stehen. Das #glaube einem #niemand. Man müsse kein #Genie in #politisch​er #Kommunikationsstrategie sein, um zu sehen, dass die #Botschaft von #FridaysForFuture #stärker sei.

#Beispiel für #Vertrauen auf #Beharrungskraft und #Durchsetzungsfähigkeit des #StatusQuo in #Auseinandersetzung mit #Bewegung und #Gegenbewegung.

A quotation from #Pratchett, Terry:

«««««
The suggestion that the world could be completely other than it is always annoys those who are content with the way things are. #Stories of #imagination tend to upset those without one. #Rulers are suspicious of new worlds where their writ does not run. #Jailers don’t like #escapism.

Hi Shans,

If you live in #Australia, Growing For Broke (2015?) by the late Peter North is a must-read.

We speak in the language of #ConvivialSufficiency. The way we can achieve this is by "Getting #NEOeD", which may involve punching upwards at those perpetrating the #statusQuo.
