How do we even live today?! Apparently this really took off when we baby boomers were born and everyone was bragging about how well we would do - by the time many of our children were born it was game set match

It feels exactly like a rigged game, Dianne. You aren't imagining it. The system was designed by central bankers and think tanks in the 1970s to bleed the working class dry. But the fact that you can see it now—that you care enough to recognize what happened to your children's generation—means the machine hasn't taken your humanity. We are building skiffs out of the wreckage. You aren't alone out here

Unless you're the .1% or the Epstein class or whatever other name you want to call them, the rest of us are simply cannon fodder to increase their wealth. If the bullets don't kill us, the inflation and continuing rising prices will do it as we won't be able to afford even the basic necessities. The scariest and saddest time of my 80 years

Exactly the same in the U.K we didn’t finish paying off the muricans for WwII until 2006! But on a smaller scale it is exactly the same. I don’t know about you but when I try to talk about it I’m met with ‘conspiracy theory’ and no one seems interested as long as they have Netflix and amazon deliveries. I feel anxious all the time. We have been gaslight and fucked over by the so called leaders and of corporations of our countries just so they can make a few extra pounds/dollars and feel they have more “power” than the next rich white man swinging dick. It is beyond hideous on every level.

So as I start to read this, apparently the machine includes all levels of government. From the very highest national level down to the very lowest local level, including the local parks and recreation 3 member advisory panels. If that is the case, then we are completely and utterly doomed! I will instead read my Bible which defines and lays out the potential for my own and the redemption of others or maybe Dr. Seuss’s Cat in a Hat.

Barbara, you are quoting the PR Report. Let's look at the Receipt. The institutions you are defending (the IMF and World Bank) engineered that debt in the first place through predatory 'structural adjustment loans'. They forced developing nations to privatize their public assets, sell off their water rights, and strip-mine their natural resources just to service compounding interest payments. You do not get a medal for 'forgiving' the remaining phantom math on a ledger only after you have already extracted the physical sovereignty and resources of a nation. That isn't charity. That’s the Company Store

Our grandchildren will pay the price, some are white, well-Educated some brown and fixing roads, plumbing, electricity, building, roads, The possibilities of collective kindness, consciousness of loving tender actions, eye to eye contact not combat. My circle of influence is the reach of my arms, a small circle, and yet one I can control with goodness and make choices to be helpful and caring. I am here today, tomorrow is uncertain.
