Funny thing is, some of the best lessons in life learned (personally) were when i was homeless. Sad to see so many humans chase after the almighty illusion of currencies. And for some, they never have enough(!?!).

Food For Thought: There are billions in currencies created for war, but not to feed the poor.

Not only is the currency rapidly losing value, but working people don’t get to keep much of it. If my marginal tax rate on labor income is over 50%, and the cumulative tax rate on stock dividends is 70%, and then I pay 9% sales tax on most purchases… at what point do you just call a spade a spade and use the term “confiscatory.” Because that’s what it is: confiscating most of the property from Person A and redistributing it to Person B, Person C, etc.
