"Money" is a tool for extraction and devalues the total as more money is loaned out... your work, your life and other people's goes to Banks and Gov as profit mostly... Need to change that 'balance' ! 

"Money" is a tool for extraction - like a Bank is a shop on the high street offering you to buy / pay for money (and then spend it thinking you have more)/

Extraction is what David Graeber should of had in his names of his ! 📖 He did have "Value" but "Devalue" of negative words in titles would have been better - "Money as Debt" is a good example by

Extraction from people and DEvalues everything from everyone according to how many loans are being taken out (the day you enter using money has even more loans taken and that is almost like fake money thus diluting existing money so you need to keep trying to get more while it devalues!).

Talking about it is good as if you're willing to solve it. DM's welcome.

ABOUT GRAEBER
Graeber married artist Nika Dubrovsky in 2019.[84] The two collaborated on a series of books, workshops, and conversations called Anthropology for Kids[85] and on the Museum of Care, a shared space for communication and social interactions nourishing values of solidarity, care, and reciprocity. According to Graeber's website, "The main goal of the Museum of Care is to produce and maintain social relationships."[86] The concept "museum of care" was coined by Graeber and Dubrovsky in their article "The Museum of Care: imagining the world after the pandemic", originally published in "Arts of the Working Class" in April 2020.[87] In the article, Graeber and Dubrovsky imagine a post-pandemic future, where vast surfaces of office spaces and conservative institutions are turned into "free city universities, social centers and hotels for those in need of shelter". "We could call them 'Museums of Care' – precisely because they are spaces that do not celebrate production of any sort but rather provide the space and means for the creation of social relationships and the imagining of entirely new forms of social relations.

DEATH FROM CO-VID ?
===============
"Graeber died suddenly from necrotic pancreatitis[89] on September 2, 2020, while on vacation with his wife and friends in Venice.[90] Graeber died during the COVID-19 pandemic and instead of a funeral, his family organized an "Intergalactic Memorial Carnival" of livestreamed events that took place in October 2020.[91] His wife, Nika, attributed the pancreatitis to COVID-19, pointing to his prior good health, strange symptoms they both had for months beforehand, and the connection scientists have found between COVID-19 and pancreatitis.
