Day 195: Why Don't You Get Paid Enough?



How is it that the vast majority of us go to jobs where the profit of our labor goes to someone else? Does that even make sense in any conceivable way? How could we have possibly accepted such a system? I mean, it is really bad mathematics. You should get out what you put in, therefore if you put in your labor, you should get out the benefit or the compensation for that, so how is it that the average worker at the ‘bottom’ of the job hierarchy, the ones that do the actual day to day labor which is the ‘backbone’ of the business itself, gets the least pay of all?

This shows that we’ve got a real malfunction with our value system. We’ve got individuals doing the labor, but the value goes to someone else, and really it goes to a minority, so that they can live lives of luxury, while those doing the actual labor aren’t paid enough to be able to cover all their basic needs. 

I mean, it is a really twisted and warped situation and when you take a step back and really look at the big picture, it is really quite psychotic to have most of us working so hard, just trying to survive, having to forgo many of our basic needs like proper healthcare, when the value of our labor which we created through our labor, goes…somewhere…else… It goes to someone else who did not do the labor, instead of to those who created the value in the first place.

What’s fascinating is that in working for a large corporation, at staff meetings, the equal importance of every employee position is professed – but then, why aren’t all positions equally valued – by being equally compensated for their equal importance? It’s the manager’s job to tell you that you are appreciated and the work you do for the company is appreciated, and it sure is, all the way to the bank by those who are profiting off of the labor of others. 

Talk is cheap, literally. We all know that we have collectively decided that the only thing in this reality that has value is – MONEY. You need it to buy your right to life – without it you die, and your life has no value. Thus to express appreciation and importance of employees is just empty words, because those words do not put food on the table, or provide you with an effective education, or proper healthcare. 

Now, within the Capitalist system, as we’ve accepted it, you need to have a job to get money to be able to live. So how is it, we allow jobs to exist which don’t provide adequate MONEY to ensure you are able to LIVE properly, and not just ‘getting by’ paycheck to paycheck or like many, going into credit card debt. Why would we allow this, it just doesn’t make sense. Because we know the job you have is how you make your living, so why would we deliberately allow some to have ‘less of a living’ than others? Certainly, no one needs LESS LIVING. No one needs a POOR quality of life. No one needs to suffer through ailments that could have been prevented because they can’t get the proper healthcare.  

Obviously, the only reason that so many are doing such jobs is that there isn’t a better option. I mean, it’s really simply math, to see how there simply isn’t enough jobs out there that pay properly for one to have a dignified living, and so the majority is going to get stuck with the inferior compensating jobs. I mean, take Costco for example, who pays their employees and average of $17 per hour. That is above and beyond what the majority of jobs out there pay. And you know what, the waiting list for applications to Costco, I was told when I applied, is three years long…

That’s no surprise is it? Because who wants the lesser paying job? Less pay means less quality of life. Nobody wants that. So why do we allow that? Is it necessary? No. Why is it not already so, that employees gets the value they create? Because the value the employees create, it is created, and it exists, and it goes somewhere. It goes into the hands of those at the top.

This is literally modern day slavery. Just because you get the tiniest possible portion of the value you create is enough to make you think you’re not a slave after all, because you’re being compensated, apparently. But this very basic simple math principle was not understood. If you’re creating X amount of value, how come you’re only getting a spec of that?

This problem is one that will be corrected within Equal Money Capitalism – compensation will be actual compensation to those who have actually done the labor. All aspects of a job will be equally compensated, because all are equally important, and everyone has the equal need to live and have their physical needs met and the highest possible quality of living, which is leaps and bounds above what is available to most but is available to the select few who have all the money. Profit that goes to the hands of a few to live lives of luxury while the rest suffer in survival will no longer exist, as it is a crime against life and humanity. 

The Result of this will be a great Reward where Stress from lack of Money will cease to exist – no more having to forgo proper healthcare because your low-minimum wage job doesn’t provide benefits while certainly not providing enough to buy benefits as an individual, leading to more and more health problems with lasting effects, which could have all been prevented with the proper care. I mean, how much do companies really value their employees if they don’t care if they remain in proper health? It doesn’t matter to the companies, because the low-wage jobs are also low-skilled jobs, and there is always plenty of individuals needing jobs that they can just hire another one when one employee gives out, and in this way, you’re literally used just like a battery, sucked dry until there’s nothing left, and then discarded and replaced with a ‘fresh’ one.

This is what our lives have become, just like in the Matrix – batteries for the system, and as anyone with a low paying job knows and is going through, that is not really living. This isn’t what life should be like, or has to be like. All can have a dignified life, once we no longer allow the scam of profits being diverted into the hands of a few, and make sure the money is going where it is needed. Just like the human body – ensures that the blood travels to all parts, and distributes the resources the physical body requires to all its parts. Imagine – if the body did not do this, but functioned like our system does now, how long would that human body last? Not long, before it would start to fall apart. So in the human body we have a real example of how to effectively operate as a functioning whole that functions at optimum capacity, which is obviously when every part is provided what one needs and is supported to the utmost, to function and be the best that it can be.

Imagine – what kind of a humanity would we have then? Where what we do we do because of the value we create, not because it’s what we have to do because it’s the best we could get. I mean, that is slavery. Most of us are actually slaves, because we didn’t choose what we’re doing, we’re doing it because it’s our means to survival. Imagine when your survival is not at stake – when we have a system in place that ensure you are effectively supported, and even has a buffer system in place for those that would find themselves in between jobs for a moment, because, when that happens now it is like a great fear and uncertainty and most of us will do what we can to stay with the job we’ve got, and not take the risk of trying to find something else, because what if it doesn’t work out, could we get our old job back, who knows and then how will I pay my bills, because most of us can’t even miss a paycheck. I mean, is that any way for the companies that exist today to be treating their valued employees that do the labor for them? To allow them to be in such risk and uncertainty for their very survival? Obviously not, obviously the companies and corporations today that do not provide equal compensation for their employees are a disgrace. 

Imagine a life where what you do is actually what you like to do, you were able to choose, without fear of being broke and not being able to put food on the table. I mean, it’s really like we are living in the Dark Ages. We have never come out of that, and it’s in fact only gotten worse. We as humanity have every capability to exist where everyone is supported to have the best possible life, so it’s really quite evil that we have that capability and yet – haven’t put that into application. We’ve become so caught up into the ‘daily grind’ it’s like we’re on ‘auto-pilot’ just going through the motions, day in, day out, to Paranoid to consider change, because our situation is so unstable as it is, we don’t want it to get any worse. But – realize – it IS going to get worse UNLESS you stand up for a change, to make it BETTER, and sort out this system to ensure that it is functioning properly as an Economic system is Supposed to do – provide the best life possible for everyone – not just one or two here and there while the majority is enslaved to jobs that only exist for the sake of making profit and which are actually causing harm to our earth and ecosystem with no regard for life whatsoever. 

This can change, all it takes if for us to walk that change into reality. Get involved and start your process of self education of how reality could be when lived in common sense support of life:

Day 192: Is Responsibility Power?

So how is it that we have taken what just might be our Most Powerful Ability – and Reversed it into our Ultimate Limitation? Now what you’ll find when you look at humanity and how the mind work – is that everything that could have been a way to expand ourselves, has within the mind been reversed into a way to limit ourselves. And this is so for what we call Responsibility. Which when you break it down, is – Response Ability. So it’s the ability to respond in a situation/to a situation. But we don’t normally see it that way do we? Responsibility is often given a negative association, where it is seen as ‘obligation’ or ‘duty’ like something you are apparently supposed to do or must do – I mean, how I learned responsibility was essentially like ‘doing your chores’, which you ‘have to do’ because ‘it’s expected of you’ by an ‘authority’ such as a parent, or else you will be punished if you don’t.

For a detailed look at how words are programmed into us by parents as children with energy which then corrupt the meaning and thus the living of the word, suggest listen to the Parenting series of interviews available on Eqafe: Parenting - Perfecting the Human Race

Now, this is not a particularly self empowering definition of Responsibility and no one like to be or feel ‘forced’ to do anything, and so this ‘version’ of ‘Responsibility’ is usually met with resistance. And so this then becomes one’s stance toward anything perceived as a responsibility as something that one has to/must do or else. And so, we form a pattern of seeking to avoid any and all responsibility in our lives, because we want to be ‘free’ to choose what we want to do and not be forced to do things. So within this, we form an overall detrimental relationship to Responsibility, and where a lack of responsibilities is seen as a positive thing. Imagine for instance – summer vacation – school is out, no more responsibilities for the moment – you are Absolutely Free, to do Absolutely Nothing.

Whoops. Is that what we really wanted? To avoid doing things? Is that really an engaging way to exist that is worthwhile? Does it lead to a more expansive and fulfilling life? Or one that is increasingly more and more limited where one’s world seem to get smaller and smaller and smaller? Is that really the path we want to go down? Or is it the one we choose because we didn’t see there was an alternative? Which was to – take Responsibility.

Because what was missed within this, is what Responsibility does in fact entail, what it really means, and how it is actually our greatest power. Because, you can’t control anything that you separate yourself from. When you give up your responsibility in any aspect of your life, and rather take on a stance of avoiding responsibility, you make yourself a powerless ‘victim’ if you will, of your world/environment. Essentially saying, ‘world - do what you will to me, I wash my hands of any responsibility’. As if somehow this is what we want, as if being powerless is somehow going to benefit me in any way whatsoever? How can that be? If I rather take responsibility for/wherever I can, I place myself in a position to be able to do something about my world/reality/the situation.

Basically, in a nutshell, you go from avoiding/giving up the ability to do anything in your life/world/relationships/scenarios, and rather shift your focus to what you Can do. And thus, you are always looking for what you can do to take action, to make a change, to have an impact, to correct situations that come up, which is the ultimate self empowerment. Because you are going from – I’ll just do nothing and let everything happen to me for better or, more often, worse – to – how/where/what am I able to do because I’m not willing to wait around for things to somehow change without me having to do anything, because, it’s not going to happen.

And we can see this stance on the large scale in the world, where we have on a collective level, accepted ourselves to exist in a system where we are taken advantage of in every possible way, where every possible kind of abuse is allowed in the world, for the sake of profits, instead of focusing on what we actually can do to change the situation.

And further, to really understand Responsibility, it must be realized our connectedness to all that exist here, how we are not separate from any of the various forms and beings that exist in this world that make up our reality and the very planet which we live and exist on as an individual human being. And that it is this world and all the other beings in it that make our life even possible.

Responsibility thus takes on a new definition within the realization that this world is our home and that we depend on it, and it is up to us to take care of it, as that is the same of taking care of ourself. If you have a look around, no one else is here to take care of our world except us, there are no aliens, angels, gods, or whatever that is taking care of anything. Because as you can see everything is really running amok, because we are running amok, and not realizing that harm we are doing to ourselves, because we haven’t yet realized our Responsibility. Which is our ability to change ourselves and this reality, into one that support Life, instead of destroy it.

I urge that every definition, of every word that you live, must be considered within that realization of our connectedness, and how everything we say/do has an effect on this reality and thus, we are response-able – we have the Ability to Respond as proven by the fact that our words and deeds affect reality, as this world is made up of each and every individuals’ collective words and actions.

To get involved with the thousands of others who have also realized their individual responsibility to care for the world that cares for us – join and support Equal Money and investigate Equal Money Capitalism as the transition from what is here as Capitalism into a system that reflects our understanding of our responsibility to care for Life.

Day 186: WAR: What is it Good For: Killing People, and WORSE

Featured Artwork by Matti Freeman

So, let’s look at one of the most obvious Problems with WAR: Human Casualties

This blog is a continuation from a previous introductory post: Day 184: Equal Money Capitalism Ends WAR through PREVENTION

Problem


In doing some research on human casualties of War, I watched this documentary – Life & Death in the War Zone which documents a “Combat Support Hospital”, which is a mobile hospital that was located at an airbase in Balad, northwest of Baghdad. Watch to get the first-hand perspective of what goes on in such a make-shift hospital facility in a war zone, the gruesome cases of extreme injuries that they have to face and the tough choices they have to make within it all. Be forewarned - it is not for the faint of heart.

What’s really insane, is that all the effort you’ll see in this documentary put out by all those involved, all the doctors and crews, all the work done to set up the facility, and of course dealing with all the wounded, performing extreme surgeries in the attempt to ‘save’ a life to some level of functioning not what it was before, and then only to have them die anyway.

As you watch this documentary, look at all the manpower, whole teams of people, that is involved in just trying to ‘save’ one life, when really the damage has been done, and now it’s trying to put a torn up human body back together in a way that will make it as functional again as possible – yet – none of this even need happen. All that work that needs to be done, to try to care for those who’s had their physicals torn apart, when none of that is even necessary, and can all be prevented, and in fact, just shouldn’t be happening in the first place. What has it taken for us to even accept this to happen, that we actually allow it to get to the point where we are now scrambling to put back together a shattered body?

All this work, all these individuals to go on missions and attacks and prepare for the injuries that WILL happen, it Is Guaranteed. I mean, how stupid is it really to be creating a mess right in front of us and then trying to mop it up right after. Except it’s real human lives that are being destroyed. Mothers. Daughters. Fathers. Brothers. Children.

Nobody really wants to do these things. Nobody wants to see people get injured, nobody wants to get injured, but it’s a job, a way to make a living in a system where there is a shortage of jobs from which to make a living. Which puts all but the elite in between a rock and a hard place to make an income to support themselves and their families. And unfortunately, some believe it is for a good cause, like defending one’s country, not realizing or seeing the bigger picture, how we create our enemies by attacking others. I mean, attacking and killing people is Not how you make Friends. We Know this.

The situation for most of those that become casualties in war is even worse than simply being injured – in war, there is limited supplies and sometimes none at all, and so you can forget about getting proper medical treatment for your wounds. Whatever you’ve got, if you don’t happen to be on the winning side, which is the one with the most money-support and thus the most and best medical supplies, then you are just out of luck, and your wounds will fester, and you are likely to lose limbs or die, from wounds that could have been treated with the proper supplies. How many beings, injured in war, and just stuck to suffer with no treatment, nothing they can do about. I mean, imagine – your very flesh burned off your body and there is nothing for the pain, nothing to treat the burns, nothing, no hope, only horrible, horrible pain. Can you imagine what it would be like, to be in such a hopeless situation?

If you have ever been in a situation where you were sick or injured, even if it wasn’t that serious as life-or-death, and someone helped you out, or you had the proper medicine to treat yourself, I’m sure you can remember what it was like to have that assistance, and to get relief from your ailment, and to know that you’ve got the care you needed, and you are going to be alright.

That’s how we like it to go, and yet we know it is not that way for many people. We see these atrocities and what do we do? We get more thankful that that is not our situation, we decide to focus more on how grateful we are to have what we need and have access to the best care, and then completely turn away from the atrocities taking place, as if it has nothing to do with us.

We have just accepted this as ‘the way things are’ and don’t even consider finding a solution to the situation. We don’t even consider that there Could be a solution. We imagine if such atrocity were to happen to our own children, if they were to have their limbs blown off by a bomb, it is like beyond horror, and yet it happens to children every day, but we don’t care about those children. Missing the point that if it can happen to anyone’s children, it can happen to anyone’s children, including yours. And therefore why it is so important that we stop war from happening at all, so that it can’t happen to anyone, anywhere.

War – it just seems so big, too big to stop, we can all see just how ingrained it is, within the relationships we’ve formed toward each other as ‘countries’. How we have bought into this idea that countries are like ‘sports teams’ yet the sport is killing each other’s families. Many buy into the idea that ‘we have the best military’ out of everyone else, so there’s ‘nothing to worry about’, we won’t be the ones having a war in our country, in our streets, our children our safe – yet this is a lie fed to keep the people supporting war, and allowing it to take place, instead of questioning it, instead of demanding that there must be another way, than to hold our dying child in our arms as they die with half their head missing taken off by some explosion. Because if we questioned things and investigated what’s going on, we’d see that we are fighting wars for an extremely small portion of the population to get massive profits from all the money made, who obviously care more about living their personal life of luxury, then the horrific suffering taking place and that has taken place, to provide them with that luxury. The fact is, if war exists, it can happen anywhere.

What kind of a world is this to have children in? We explain to children why there is war – because there are bad guys that want to do harm, and as a child, this just doesn’t make sense. And that’s because it doesn’t make sense. There are no ‘bad guys’ that ‘just want to do harm’. But that’s what we’re told, and eventually as we grow up and can understand reasoning more, we are given more elaborate reasons as to why war exist, and why it apparently must, and that it’s impossible to just stop it.

Solution

So, is there a Solution to stop Human Casualties of War?

Absolutely. The most obvious solution being to stop War. But how do we do that? Is it really as simple as stopping? Well, yes. That is the first place to start. See, it’s really believed that ‘war is necessary’ because we have to protect ourselves from the ‘bad guys’ out there, but what isn’t yet realized, is that we’ve created all those ‘bad guys’. They have deliberately been put in place, to use as an excuse to keep having wars. Because war is really, really, good for business. We will discuss that point in a blog post to come, so stay tuned for that, it will be fascinating.

So war is really not necessary. It is all about control of resources, and basically we, the ‘average people’, join the military to have a stable income with benefits, and fight the wars for the guys at the top of the big businesses that profit from war. It is about controlling other countries to get cheaper prices and access to resources to be sold for profit. It has nothing to do with securing resources for the average individuals to have a better life, because then, wouldn’t every single person have a home? Wouldn’t everyone have food? But instead all we see is those at the top getting richer.

So once we all get aware of this, we can actually stop war. The main reason anyone joins the military, is because it is the best job they can get. In Equal Money Capitalism, the job situation will be sorted out, so that everyone can have the best quality of life by getting fair compensation for one’s labor, so you won’t have people choosing jobs for the money, and everyone is guaranteed a job, because it’s understood that a job is one’s survival, and thus there must be sufficient jobs to employ everyone, and they will be jobs that don’t involve attacking countries and killing their people.

It may take some time to sort out the brainwashing of separation that’s been done that cause hate between people in order for them to justify going to war with each other, but really such enmity has never been the actual cause for going to war with another, it has only ever been the justification, because there never really is any cause. And once there are job options that don’t involve putting oneself in harm’s way, facing being killed, facing the hardship of being in a war zone, being away from one’s family, not knowing if you are going to make it home every again, or even be alive the next day, the next moment, it is going to be very difficult, if not impossible, to convince anyone to go to war.

We’ll go up to here for now, and continue in the next post, and take a look at what kinds of REWARDS we will get from stopping War and the Human Casualties that result from it. I guarantee there will be some Rewards, which you hadn’t even considered, so stay tuned..

In the meantime, to further your Self Education watch the documentary Life & Death in the War Zone mentioned above, and also watch:

"Award winning journalist John Pilger examines the role of Washington in America's manipulation of Latin American politics during the last 50 years leading up to the struggle by ordinary people to free themselves from poverty and racism. Since the mid 19th Century Latin America has been the 'backyard' of the US, a collection of mostly vassal states whose compliant and often brutal regimes have reinforced the 'invisibility' of their majority peoples. The film reveals similar CIA policies to be continuing in Iraq, Iran and Lebanon. The rise of Venezuela's Hugo Chavez despite ongoing Washington backed efforts to unseat him in spite of his overwhelming mass popularity, is democratic in a way that we have forgotten or abandoned in the west. True Democracy being a solid 80% voter turnout in support of Chavez in over 6 elections"

This documentary is so important because it shows the deception going on and how the United States has not been supporting democracy in fact, but has been 'indirectly' taking over countries for the sake of controlling resources for profit.

Day 179: Turns Out You CAN Buy Happiness - IF You Have MONEY

Featured Artwork by Matti Freeman


Turns out you can buy happiness! New research shows the richer are the happier you'll be
New research not only confirms what most would call common sense - that it's more fun to have a lot of money than to scrape by with little - but can tell you exactly how much happiness each dollar will buy you.
A new discussion paper from researchers Daniel. W. Sacks, Betsey Stevenson, and Justin Woflers title 'The New Stylized Facts about Income and Subjective Well-Being' tracks happiness in comparison with income and what we buy with our money.
Their findings graph exactly how much you need to increase your income to affect your happiness and where you can find the happiest people in the world.
Among 122 countries interviewed on well-being in a gallup world poll against a nation's real GDP per capita (and adjusted for purchasing power) found that well-being rises with income at all income levels in every country.
Therefor, rich countries are happier than poorer countries.
It also found that you need to increase your income by consistent percentages to feel happier about a raise.
For instance, if you doubled your income from $30,000 to $60,000 you'd need to double it again to $120,000 to get the same feeling of elation rather than simply add another $30,000.
And while you need increasingly higher and higher jumps in income to get the same satisfaction, there isn't a plateau where the feeling will level out. You can always be happier if you can get the money. 
The research also showed that satisfaction could rise steadily if income levels rose steadily.
Interestingly, while the U.S. economy has doubled in size since the early 1970s, its self-reported happiness has been declining.
That could be attributed to the growing economic disparity between the wealthy and the poor.
The author's noted that in European countries, 'the inequality has increased by half' the amount it has in the U.S.


Yes, Money is required to buy Happiness. We all already know this, but many will deny it, the simple fact that money is required to have any kind of a life that one can enjoy here, and that money and how much you have directly determines your quality of life. I mean, this is obvious, it’s how we’ve designed this system to operate – you need money to buy things. In fact, you need money to buy almost anything. Yet we only ‘know’ this as knowledge and information, as we haven’t done anything about it in actual reality, like changing our money system so that it does in fact support everyone to have the best life.

There’s the quote “Money can’t buy happiness” which is often used as justification to accept the economic system the way it is, as a reason why apparently you don’t need money to buy happiness. But this in terms of happiness as a mental state, wherein what is being implied is that – even with money you can still be unhappy. Basically because you can still drive yourself nuts in your mind, regardless of your financial position. And this is used to justify allowing poverty to continue by implying that money is thus not the key ingredient in being happy, when we know full well that without money you are going to go through real actual physical suffering, and that while you can change how you experience yourself internally, if you have no money, it is a physical problem, which cannot be stopped by changing your mindset.

Yet, the human does not currently have effective directive ability of their own minds and are subject to all sorts of thoughts, feelings and emotions, and from that perspective, there is a lot of mental suffering as a result of being in extreme financial situations, where you don’t know how you are going to survive or pay the next bill, or how you will afford to pay the fee if the electric company shuts you off, or how to give your children the best life possible. How will you afford to send them to college? Or even to just put enough nutrition on the table for them every day, get the proper healthcare they need when they get sick, etc. There does not yet exist any kind of worldwide support system to assist people with directing their inner experiences yet, except for the Desteni I Process so far, which has been developing this for years already, which now offers a free course with buddy support which covers the fundamentals of how to direct one’s thoughts and reactions.

So, because most humans do not have a directive ability of one’s mind, one is susceptible to one’s environment, and thus by not ensuring everyone has enough money, we are in fact responsible for allowing both physical and mental suffering to take place, and when it is totally unnecessary. Why allow a very tiny amount of people to have way more money than is necessary so that all the rest, the vast majority which is billions of beings, can live lives of inferior quality and support? Why allow children to not get the most effective education? The best healthcare? The children become the adults that is us that walk this earth and ought to be the custodians of the earth, but they turn out to be the abusers of the earth just like those that have gone before as we teach each following generation the same principles, the same ignorance and disregard of life.

The U.S. Constitution states everyone is entitled to the pursuit of happiness as an unalienable right. Therefore we are directly violating the Constitution to not ensure that everyone has enough money to be happy, as we know that without money, they will not be able to pursue happiness.

Thus why this current Capitalist system requires revamping, so that it is actually in-line with the very principles it is supposed to uphold, and the promises it has made to make life better for the individual, when everywhere you look more and more individuals are doing worse and worse. Within Equal Money Capitalism, you will have the money to send your child to college, you will have the money to get the most effective healthcare when you need for you or your family, you will have the best quality car, the best quality house, the best quality food that are not made to contain poisons like we have today, you will have the best environment, as nature will have the best care, you will have the Best Rights as an Individual that will have ever existed.

    Individuals are busy watching documentaries to get a self-education into what’s going on in this world, here is another one for you: Money & Speed: Inside the Black Box

    What will this documentary do for you? This one shows how we haven’t got a clue how our very economic system is operating, so check it right away, to expand your awareness with the facts of how we’re running our money system – or rather, how we’re NOT running it, as we’ve essentially let machines/computers take over. Yes, it is just like in the movies where the robots take over, only they didn’t have to do it by force, because we just weren’t even paying attention. But wait… I suppose these machines didn’t just build and program themselves in the first place, did they?

    Nooope, that was us. We built them, and programmed them, and then let them ‘take over’, which there’s no problem with using machines to do things like mathematical calculations which they are far superior at than human beings and our so limited minds, yet before we let the machines have at it, we didn’t make sure that they would work together in a harmony to produce a world that’s best for all. We made lots of separate machines to calculate for our own individual interests, and let them run without checking if there would be any consequences to anyone or anything else. Like for example, the planet, nature, animals, other humans.

    So, once again, we are faced with the blunt truth – we are indeed responsible for everything we’ve done, because, obviously, we did it, you can’t blame anyone or anything else but ourselves. We try to pin it on the machines that we created, when asked what is going on in the system, we throw our hands up and say ‘I have no idea’ with a little laugh like this is really no Big Deal. When the resulting hand that most have been dealt is anything but Ideal. We have no idea what’s going on. And this is the very system that we utilize to get access to our needs. Is that the kind of thing one should let run amok, when lives are at stake?

    One of the speakers in the documentary brings up a very basic point that many are now coming to realize:
    ‘The wealth can either be distributed evenly, or wealth can be distributed unevenly. And wealth can be distributed unevenly among people, and it can likewise be distributed unevenly and evenly between people and machines’

    Really it is that simple. To throw our hands up like ‘who knows how it works’ when we’ve got mass amounts of people starving, almost no one but the very top elite living a life of dignity, is, to put it bluntly - quite stupid. Because machines are masters at calculations, and will carry out whatever function we program them with, therefore it is really either we programmed them to allow mass poverty and only a few to get richer and richer, or we’ve programmed them to ensure everyone gets everything they need to live a full and dignified life with nothing but the best of everything.

    It’s up to three to four hundred million dollars for the facility in which to do the trading because it is electronic, and there must be as little interruption of threat to the signal and to the flow of electricity as possible. So they look at every possible factor which could have affect when planning these facilities, which are also very heavy power users. So here is a lot of power, time, planning, and of course money to go into building these places, which have no function to actually serve/benefit life itself. So this is like for example if the body were to develop a tumor, which is a growth that is like a parasite on the human body that is not benefiting the body but taking up resources and effecting the functioning of the body detrimentally, while other parts are going without.

    Those that have the most expensive buildings with the least delay had the most up to date information. And within just a few seconds enough money can be made for one to retire. For having done nothing at all of any practical value/worth in reality, and while millions go homeless, billions in poverty, thousands dying daily from starvation. Does that make any kind of sense? Why don’t we just have a system where everyone automatically gets what each one needs.

    Months and months to investigate what happened that caused this crash in the market. What we can rather do, is prevent it from happening in the first place, and prevent all the suffering taking place in the system, by redefining the system in such way that such trading to make money is not allowed, as it is really only a way seeking a free lunch, when there is no such thing. This is being done through the Equal Money Capitalism initiative.

    Those that are taking advantage in this system to profit without adding anything of substance in reality, should be held accountable for their actions, as they’re literally stealing from the labor of others. Yet there are ‘disclosure rules’ so that you can’t get the actual names of those involved. When all our lives are in the balance should there be disclosure rules? What purpose are those disclosure rules serving? Obviously to protect those making a profit without regard for the harm they are causing within the whole system leading to mass poverty and suffering. In Equal Money Capitalism there will be nothing hidden, and profit will be entirely redefined, as well as pricing, in such way that no one is losing out or being stolen from at the cost of their well-being.

    What’s the solution? This trading should simply not exist. It’s only for the sake of profit and has nothing to do with benefiting life, it is only to capitalize on life. The majority who participate in it will lose, as that is what must happen for the few who profit, that profit comes from somewhere, and it comes from all the others who lose out. So it’s just like a casino system, which functions to simply resort money, from the pockets of many into the pockets of a few, with the many paying up and losing out, because they hoped to be one of the lucky ones.

    So why have we made a good life a matter of luck, when we can rather design the system to provide all with the best life. Who wouldn’t like the best life, and when all are supported effectively, everyone benefits. So it’s in our best interest to have everyone be supported. You are one of those everyone, and you could be any one of them, you would want the best life no matter which one you are, wouldn’t you?
