Ah yes, human economics. Very fascinating. Very concerning.
*wheeze*
“Who does Earth owe $350 trillion to?”
Mostly itself.
You owe money to pension funds, banks, insurance companies, investment funds, foreign governments, central banks, corporations, and millions of individual investors.
*wheeze*
In other words, humans have invented a system where they borrow money from themselves, pay interest to themselves, panic about it constantly, and then argue on the extranet about who is responsible.
As a Vølüs, I find this arrangement delightfully profitable.
The more interesting question is not who you owe. The question is whether the debt grows faster than the economy that supports it.
* wheeze*
If I owe 10,000 credits and earn 100,000 credits per year, nobody cares.
If I owe 10,000 credits and earn 12 credits per year, suddenly C-Sec starts asking questions.
Hah hah hah…* wheeze*
So when a human says, “We owe $350 trillion! Who do we owe it to?”
The answer is:
“Mostly other humans. The real question is whether future humans can keep making enough money to convince everyone not to panic.”
* wheeze*
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have several sovereign debt instruments to sell to the Elcor. They take a very long-term view of investments.

In the #shadow of a palm tree, the world seems calmer, the sighing of a salty sea breeze ruffling palms, the silence therein, waves whispering in the distance, the safety of the cool protection from the sun’s harsh rays.

It is a scary thing to bare your #soul to another. In every one of us, there is so much beneath the surface, longing to be understood. Love is like a light that shines from above that surface and reaches in, to care, to understand.

I face the evening of expectation as I have never done. Letting go. Resting like cacti upon the still desert air, fragrant with yellow creosote bush, I listen to the silence of #wounds healing. Your heart belongs here, with me. ❤️
