Banks are bad right? (not healthy for anyone / cheating people)

So then think DATABanks and storage online doing the same thing.

Oodles of oogles as default search engine also not so good
BAD DATABANK... (even if you think you need them!)

Search less.

Looking for the answer because some of us (at least I) am getting bored... GIVE US GOOD WORK TO DO!
Ideally towards practising improving language and relationships so eventually more people are nicer and understand other people!

Hard for me to say it...
(but I'm also living by this...)

- Put all the fancy toys down.
- Start improving people.

People practising people - no escaping this if you want to solve things.

The nobodies: the no-ones, the nobodied, running like rabbits, dying through life, screwed every which way. Who are not, but could be. Who don’t speak languages, but dialects. Who don’t have religions, but superstitions. Who don’t create art, but handicrafts. Who don’t have culture, but folklore. Who are not human beings, but human resources. Who do not have faces, but arms. Who do not have names, but numbers. Who do not appear in the history of the world, but in the crime reports of the local paper. The nobodies, who are not worth the bullet that kills them."

Thought it was interesting and just to ponder about...

Ok. Another quote in 2008 Galeano said:

" The White House will be Barack Obama's house in the time coming, but this White House was built by black slaves. And I’d like, I hope, that he never, never forgets this "

Money is worth less than the face value because someone always pays to borrow it. At the start they pay a fee or continually pay now as 'interest'.

So money becomes worth less and less from beginning of 'buying' it AND less value as time goes on.

What money you hold is worth less than it says! (And getting less...)

The 'face' value (what's written on material) is changing in reality.
Physical numbers don't changing in your have and cheat you accordingly.

The average person doesn't realise money is leaking.
From their pocket, money is designed to be drawn by the centralised banks and government using fees and %'s they continually charge and change.

100 now, after becomes 60..50..40..20.. as time goes on!

% x time = less money

Indeed money is as 2-faced as the government and banks that allow it.
Because it's deliberate and deceptive to make you think 100 is 100.
In your hand is getting less and less !
When you look at the number but it's actually 50 after while and then even less.

This system (maths to depreciate) keeps Banks in power.

The power of fees and % added reduces the number of money you think you have.

... there is a bit more to it but it can just layers added on top of this basic confidence that it's worth something only because once it was *maybe* worth something physically (gold etc but now not)!

So now it's mostly insert between other things... or on top, or as a gate etc... but still confidence is main thing otherwise it could be sea shells / stones if really we were that confident in it (and of course money has the control in printing and remote devaluation so but overall I mean about confidence - we ASSUME somewhat based on what we see but if the other person would give you a piece of paper saying "THANKS" then on some level or even better because technically money is worth less than the face value because someone is still paying % for it / or gave it to someone else with %!)

If Government's survive based on profiting from us how could they stop that even if they tried?

If Government's survive and profit from the people's suffering, how could they stop making new ways for suffering and profiting from the wars / supermarket tactics / tax... even if they tried not to?!

If the government changed their heart it's still a hard problem - this is the main point of this text.

Because it would probably mean the end of government's job itself! (no food for those individuals) once all the good work is done and everyone knows what they are doing a lot more / less tricks etc... more more continuously moving goal posts and making so many rules to implement them on us more than their own group.

It's assumed people in government have a job because it keeps them alive just like everyone else (to some basic level for this context) so the problems are also their own dilemma like all of us ! We thinking about this basic equation:

morals / honesty / peace / change
vs.
keeping job / business / profit tactics / same matrix

ANSWER?
So maybe the answer is not to have a job since that is better for decision making... but then how not to have a bunch of slobs even when we with less slave masters? :)

If you were government, how could you stop being bad since more of it is what keep yourself having a job and alive!

Good doesn't pay and solving things ends the profit stream!!
This is good and bad dilemma stuff.

For your own survival it's probably the same just imagine and entertain the idea you're the government and you have changes in heart but it might not be able to change even if it ALMOST everyone wants...! <---- :/ oh no we must solve that perpetuation!

Governments Worldwide or any level of authority perhaps means living using people and resources and then gaming the system / having bias toward one's self./selves/a a group = profit.

So why stop the suffering if it means you will get less money / no food / lose power / be taken over yourself as a slave instead of slave master!

A typical dilemma everywhere.

How can you stop what keeps you alive is the question.

"Let’s be clear - what you are doing is not about climate action or responding to an emergency. It never was.
This is communication tactics disguised as politics."

- #FTP still the winner for me!

Well that sums up English perhaps quite well in many ways - I feel it too from from it's nomenclature and this related perhaps to it's previous domination, command and conquer of people and then therefore racism in that sense... a bit off topic but as a side note that was a good one / a gem.

Why live stream people talking about slides and static text instead of playing pre-recorded?

Seem like heavier load and risk of quality when you can stream a perfect recording instead (and then do the live Q&A stuff after and what needs real live user interaction LIVE)
Yes it's nice to practice live stuff even but maybe mostly many don't need that... just press play!
Also good for fallback as recording / multiple sources or silo somewhere.
For consistency JUST RECORD YOURSELF AND YOUR SLIDES LOL... then Jitsi chat after !

I'm sure I missed something
I labelled this post with idiot... please confirm that with a bit of reasoning... is it so far fetched?

Thanks overall,
