To whoever Dan has been in contact with: My name is Alisa and I am sad to tell you my husband passed away on April 1st, ending whatever conversations you were having with him. I know he truly enjoyed his interactions with you. Thank you for that. Peace, Alisa
@ZeitgeistFilm True to form, they're buying up every property, house & hotel on the Monopoly game board. While the cops erase all homeless encampments.
Many of the 99% don't know it yet but they, too, are unpersons, or soon will be.
Wall St. = the new Age of Absolutism.
Grotesquely destructive economic system makes it quite impossible to protect even a mere 30% of the ocean as mass extinction accelerates.

@SymbioticWrld The cognitive disconnect is surreal. More than just a gap, the distance between the opposing ideas could be measured in astronomical terms. Millions of light years between the rhetoric & the reality.
Like telling a starving person to eat themselves.
@SymbioticWrld When I think about what we've done & what we're doing to our one & only planet, this tune frequently comes to mind...

@SymbioticWrld Mixed news, I guess. Glad you can feel relieved, though.
On one level, it's a break from the insanity of corporate power. On another, it's a question of personal survivability in the longer term.
Enjoy it while you can in any case. Figure out a way to make it permanent... 🙂
@openaccessguy ...Provided there IS a future for future historians to exist in.
Historians, anthropologists, sociologists, etc., will likely (and rightly) see the market economics era as a time of widespread, institutional, mass cultural insanity.
When I write my climate threads, my animal power threads, I hear lots of "people won't."
You know what that means?
People don't think they need to.
Federal taxes.
People won't.
They put you in jail.
People do.
Not all people.
The others won't.
You do what you have to do.
From the way Biden (his writers) intentionally worded that tweet, it will give most the impression he reduced the 'national debt'. Deficits add to the debt, surpluses subtract. The 'national debt' will continue to rise, needlessly, because the FED makes the money rules.

I'm going to talk about speed and energy. Energy = emissions, in case you're keeping track.
I do this a lot, and I get frustrated, and I vow to give it up. I vow to give up sugar too. Sigh.
@Daeley123 Like most of us, I have lost people & pets and can totally relate to what you're going through.
For what it's worth, it does get better over time but the memory is always there. After a while we mostly just remember the good stuff, leading to an internal smile of sorts.
