RE: #SteemitZombies - hoMeless but never hoPeless
I see this nightmare playing out more and more where one major medical condition wipes a family out. The amount of people who are one paycheck missed and being out on the street is staggering. I know people who work in Austin Texas and make $60K a year and have to sleep in their car 3 nights a week because they can't afford the rent and their are others living in storage units across from one business that I call on for work.
Times are tough even in places where things are booming for some folks.
wow it is so crazy to know every state is struggling. Most families are one emergency away fom losing it all... some American dream! I was looking into what it costs just to scrape by here in Mass where I live and it comes out to about 85K a year for a family of 4 ! Outrageous!
Yes, even in towns that are booming, the prices are set for those who are in the boom.Thanks for sharing that 85K story, it is tough for sure.
It's horrible that tax payers end up in this kind of shit due to corrupt politics.
Keep in mind that this has BIG parallels with the ways Germany pushed their people into WWII
They blamed the jews for everything.
Just like the west first tried to blame 'terrorists' that then shifted to 'muslims', and now that did not work it is all 'russia's' fault. What is next? Aliens? Aliens hacked our sattelites, and manipulated our data on the NASA's ISS and therefore all weather data manipulated Wallstreet, and now the solar panels became 50% less efficient due to chemtrails that where wronfully deployed during the night.
Yes, it is truly a mess, one big mess.
i wonder how long it will take to get out of this mess.
the worldwide damage is so extensive, and the damage in the system itself so deep.
How is it possible that this could actually happen? It even damages my country, and our cheerleaders just caved and let it happen. how much money is at play here?
In answer to your question, all of it. All the money is at play and they won't be satisfied until they have control of all of it and they are damn near there now. That is why crypto currencies pose such a big threat. It's kind of like baseball in a way, you don't need an "official" major league baseball with the official logo on it to play a game at the local park with friends. You just need a ball that resembles the official one and that everyone agrees will serve the purpose of playing the game, we don't need their official fiat ball anymore, we have our own.
That is why the keep bad mouthing crypto and trying to ban it in several areas, so it is game on right now.
I hope we can get this crypto money under self control in a system that is fair and future proof. I think the easiest way to accomplish this would be having a valueless currency, that can't be monetised in the real world. first let that become fair, once it works, then replace it with something that has real value. but that also has its drawbacks... Not an easy task..
I don't have the total answer, I just know that the system we have now is not working for the average person in the world. It was never designed to and that is a fact.
Creepy Karl Marx was right about one thing. Capitalism is not a sustainable system.
Greed is never sustainable.
How to remove greed from the equation? That ain't easy in a world where greed is common practice.
yes, greed does pose a big problem
