Just to reflect the temporary nature of what business is as mostly a money-minded mentality of people for power or mutual greed.

Rather than working on mutual things THAT LAST, things are done the cheapest way or brutal way with lack of any attempt to caring, educating it's people and usually all attained through force or indirect kinds of monopolisation. #Money and #Banks itself being one of the them and directly funding #wars.

Often #banks funding both sides.

#States and big groups know as "companies" (all meanings) who see each other as friends or comrades one day and suddenly replaceable / killable / cashing them in the next. 🔫 🤑

Even if this is hard to imaging if now one is #invading the other... it's still just normal / regular for one "company" to try absorb / kill another in such a deliebrately faulty / negative model of economics ( #debt ) needing such levels of death for things to "grow" (or simply happen again) and regularly see in history of every empire to repeat itself... unless one day we get out of such harsh debt-creation and "market-based" economics sucking everything hard as extraction and leaving individuals and nature for dead (same war different harder / softer games)

So I really wouldn't be surprised if they should hands suddenly for something more mutually beneficial...

➡️ The Lesson here?
Business itself (the Selling / Buying / Renting of people) and selling out of nature and various sacred things is the bad-doing of things as purely for profit i.e. government and bank's politics not yours / economics as the basic standard for everything else built on top. It's not a charity you know! But do send us your donations !

I don't have the answer for if Ukraine were to become a puppet state or the same copy as every other country if it wins waging war on it's people / screwing them hard for their money. This kind of war is more realistic than or example supermarket wars or British Gas Company increasing heating costs on people right before winter lol 🔥

Even between enemies, many deals / "cease-fires" have been made... but still the war goes on even in peaceful countries drawing things out in other deals...

#humour on what #Rumi as the #quote below says:

"Somewhere beyond right and wrong, there is a garden. I will meet you there.
- Rumi

The quote is probably more accurately about right and wrong and meeting in beautiful place together, sharing "as the middle perspective" or entirely just "beautiful place" as the view for things without right and wrong...

...but I go for my own interpretation that we need to do the middle ground or other perspective AND go to the garden to meet in person also !

TLDR; Going to any garden of thought might be easy but practicing talking longer together is the art we also need do practice of online beforehand also!

Of course online more privately too not #Zoom #Skype etc but #Jitsi and #Jami,
#WebRTC or #SIP protocals.

⚠️ 💥 Can't just do short text talking !! 💥 ⚠️
That always = war / shallow depth / misunderstanding and often lots of it which is longer than clearer long text or safe audio chats !

When Rumi said "I will meet you there" he also could have said "meet me online before so we know which garden we will be in!... so we don't get lost in the wrong one for hours and hours calling each other when we get there !"

Deliberately faulty mathematical equations allow people to build on debt and are mostly to keep people working... for the bank.

(i.e. Aside from the little good #banking itself and #banks are full of holes and #debt because " #money " itself is different to what most people think it means as value and not debt mostly).

People and bank and the whole system can't pay for itself so therein lies the #injustice or false pretenses which isn't positive (actually it's #negative since debt is negative) so all bad stuff tends to roots accordingly and snowball into #war.

Get rid of banks or minimise and see the justice balance better
(banks pay for #wars remember)

War with #Russia gives us time ⌛ before those leaders focus on our peoples internally...

#War #External then #Internal

(Ukraine or any country will copy the same as UK / USA etc, just take a look)

#War #External (Russia)
then #Internal (Ukraine or any country on itself or to others !)

❓ Isn't it always the same?
❓ Who is looking for real #economic #peace (by getting rid of it) from these countries?
❓Aren't they all just a smaller framework like #America ?

#BANKS ARE LIKE A LEAKING SYSTEM

YOUR MONEY IS IN THE BANK RIGHT MAKING MORE DEBTS FOR BANKS AND EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD

(*MULTIPLE* LOANS FROM JUST ONE LOT OF MONEY WHICH IS BAD MATHS / LOAN WHAT YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE)

THIS CHEAPENS YOUR MONEY AND DILUTES IT AS THERE IN MORE DEBT IN THE SYSTEM THAN ACTUAL MONEY AND SUDDENLY FROM YOUR SMALL AMOUNT THERE'S LOTS OF DEBT.

BANKS SIT ON OTHER PEOPLE'S SAVINGS AND LEND RECKLESSLY WHILE YOU WORK HARD AND THEY GET OTHERS TO PAY INCREASING DEBTS IN THE WHOLE SYSTEM...

AND WE PAY #BANKS IF *THEY RUN OUT* OF #MONEY TOO!

⌚ #BANKRUN TIME ⌚

⌚ BANKS = #FUCKERY #ENSHITIFICATION ⌚

" Our servers are powered by 100% Green Energy " ... Do you believe it?

https://www.anarchistfederation.net / @AnarchistFederation

Is it a claim too far with 100%?

Maybe all is now consider "renewable" because all Planet is somewhat "renewable" ??

#RenewableEnergy ?

Usually with most controversial products like #Coffee or #Recycling etc, we don't see where it comes from or goes.

And this is most of the challenge as a kind of rebranding,

#FairTrade or "Kinder to forests" etc might be real or just the same plantations and #chicken farms under a new snappy name or new banner simply claiming to be better regulated but is just the same people who got together to create a different impression / aesthetic).

IS it just two word put together as "fair" and "trade" but fairness never part of business?

This #sweatshop is much less crueler than it was before, we promise and it's totally a new #factoryfarming centre and not the same old thing as before... we create the impression it's a whole new thing with packaging on the front or for #Energy some new #greeenwashing sloagans!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_trade

Is it just talk / packaging?

"Most notably for handicrafts, coffee, cocoa, wine, sugar, fruit, flowers and gold..." from same places as before... allegedly under more fair wages or rules etc.... ?

#money #donations are not giving anyone anything new in the real sense...

Because the money system needed debt to create debt it's using from
In order to 'make peoples .

' money (debt from debt)... physically you give someone 100... BUT it took 110 to from them or someone else in the system to PAY MONETY to the bank as any loan or mortgage fee or % payment does, thus reducing value of all money n the same system!

(loans need you to pay for it thus reducing the face value!)

#Banks #Debt #Creators #Loans

On reflection I've been thinking that "I'm looking for a decent leader" and perhaps that all of us do look for leadership.

That's why we might moan when admin are not the potential we thought.

I've been wanting to merge with people and their work most of my life and perhaps that's naturally all of us in our life inescapably as humans (all part of one species) from parents and then... ?

And so increasingly when the bad world is cutting people out of the equation, cutting off from land or increasing it's price, our nature is cut off by those who have 100% bad/extractive intentions to cut down and sell it all (then sell it all back to us). So instead of rebel and all become terrorists (as a reflection of current regime) then we look to other people more and more to help and serve us or better people to serve.

(I could have just said "because government is shit deliberately we are forced to look to our parents and other people for answers" so you take either version of that!)

Because looking for leadership ties in so many good / wanted things...

●occasional person to partner up with
●project making / re-creating the past good ways and things
●remote or local integration of related work with projects (toward Freedom / everyone being more responsible together)
●potentials for "a new future"
●service to each other mutually with this power of "online" to wield.
●etc etc

This all makes Admin a target naturally for providing and representing spaces, also doing some of that already as part of their existence or blurbs and bio... after which they might just be talk or might be "I don't care for that as much" even if it's not directly that phrase - but after 50 emails you do get the message and especially if you're like me try all the angles and realise it's futile and someone willing would actually message you after some stimulous rather than the just as a chore to say "I replied" as the minimum.

Are they investing in people?
NOT SO MUCH MAYBE! They do social but not the 1 to 1 or bringing you into the trusted ring so to speak which is needed for the opposite not to happen (everything gets worse and avalanches on a few people since they didn't want to give up their seats or test something occasionally with others).

And many people too I believe chose and look up to their Admin...
...for their boldness
...what they represent,
...intellect
...ability to express

and so might expect them to lead the way even more or continually.

As a kind of human to those "in power" we might think "that's your purpose there, to serve me more of the good stuff and I will do best I can if only you would allow me to test things also to also represent this place!!"

It's my opinion, though demanding, it is our duty as humans and can't escape it - and though that seems unfair on Admin basically even free space without more is ultimately flawed... and not free either (which you might find out when they moan back).

Even the free or half-promised stuff can be like a friend who says he'll come fix something and every day forgets the day or keeps delaying or worse doesn't even acknowledge he didn't turn up while you're waiting for him.

Not talking only about my admin completely but also the whole dynamic of Admins and Users.

If you're admin is going into AI instead of more fully doing "the people work" as you see it - that's a cut off point of "Oh he's pro AI" and doesn't see the human slave labour behind it for the basic data entry and input or "totally he's interested in Tech and playing with toys more than people"

So although I don't know the guy (so don't take any of my words for it) do assume I've hammered this server with "we have to do this, can you help me with this, can we test this project" x100 posts and DM's and basically what seems would " legitamise " and magnify such as test project to get answers... So that's why we my ask persistently or beg or be told by another user "you can always go elsewhere if you don't like it" only for the same modern bourgeois attitude there... A bit like Capitalist job not willing to see the bad habits and care to adjust and just say "find another job and good luck!".

It can work as a provider, moral pillar, pioneer or whatever, that users expect and ask for more and sadly for the "expectee" sometimes not possible or not wanted...

Ideally like a mutual Leader or Queen bee (laying eggs like projects and supporting us) it might not happen in Human Society for other reasons. It's not just pure rejection or differences, and sometimes it is!.

But money, AI, non-improvement of users, FUCK THAT!
( lol - just wanted to add a bit of spice at the end)/

So some of this is going to be true for you as user or Admin.
Some things are are totally going to me misguided and circular for people, like "Tech-only and not people" or unsaid thingsthat are effectively that.
We are nature and natural to us is more nature / care and we not aiming for Humans with Borg-add-ons fused to us which is where things are headed! I am not against most things but we have enough and almost stopped doing the people work, almost switched to Tech only which surprise-surprise is what Government funds most (fuck the arts, peoples and education bitch!).

I feel like a kid who isn't sure how somethings grows even though I've seen and eat it a million times.

Having not grown or seen fields how can kids (or me) know about these or feel in touch with it in reality?

Have you seen these things in real life (does it grow in your country for example?) Soyou might have seen this as a picture (me not often), but also never in real life (?)

And then it's on your plate so it's a lot less further obvious in a plastic packet than that of apples or something you might see more often right?

Wait... don't answer if you see apple trees regularly.

SOME INFO BELOW PARTIALLY FROM
https://phys.org/news/2024-08-farmers-iraq-rice-production.html
=====================

a staple of the Iraqi diet but drought and declining rainfall have strangled local production.

Iraq's rice crop usually requires between 10 and 12 billion cubic meters of water during the five-month growing period.

Iraq's scorching sun, with temperature soaring towards 50 degrees Celsius (122 Fahrenheit), Joufi trudged across the muddy field, pausing to tend malfunctioning sprinklers spread out on his one hectare (2.5 acres) of land.

"We want to learn which seed genotypes respond well" to irrigation using sprinklers instead of flooding, Moussa said.

The Plastic Problem
Since the 1950s, industry has pumped out plastic products at an increasingly rapid clip (5). Production now reaches about 400 million metric tons per year (5). Half of these plastics are intended for a single use, such as polystyrene plates and polypropylene grocery bags, of which the vast majority are not recycled.

When pieces measure less than 5 millimeters, researchers call these fragments microplastics. Industry also produces microplastics directly for consumer use, such as beads in exfoliating face washes and fibers in synthetic textiles.

Microplastics have been found in sea ice in the Arctic Ocean (6), air in the Antarctic (7), and dust in homes (8)... guts of seals and dolphins (9) and in seafood (10) and bottled water (11). They’ve even been found in human blood (12), stools (13), lungs (14), and placenta (15).

“We’re swimming in a mess of our own making,” says marine ecologist Randi Rotjan of Boston University.

And macroplastics are going to break down to microplastics for millennia. - Randi Rotjan #Quote

It’s not as though the water had been thick with plastic. Imagine piling nylon filaments onto a quarter and then sprinkling them into a 6-liter tank... That amount of microplastic was all it took for the dramatic increase in mortality.

- Meredith Seeley, who conducted the research as a PhD student at VIMS. Mmarine scientist and environmental chemist.
