Big Oil Asks Government To Protect It From Dystopian Climate Change
To understand the stakes, we have to step away from the "capitalism vs socialism" dichotomy, because when going down that path, debates will never find any resolution. And it is easy to fall for it once one begins to be labeled by an opponent.
dichotomy (dī-kŏtˈə-mē)►Division into two usually contradictory parts or opinions
Divide and conquer is as old as humanity, and has been worshiped by ALL elites. It is a raceless and cultureless strategy. And when throwing monetarism into the mix, things can really get intricate because everybody is usually following the money for the sake of mere survival.
Generally people earning enough money to just go by, dislike money and rather regard it as a necessary evil, and this means at least 65% of the population would accept to get rid of it if offered an alternative to the so-called capitalism and socialism because they know, perhaps intuitively, that the power elites will NEVER change. And they stand absolutely correct.
This top down pyramid can only crumble down of we entirely revolutionize our "system values". Value is not what we think it is because value will forever remain subjective. Just think of the "mood of the markets" in economic jargon, and this means that fluctuations are inherent to monetarism, and this also implies that many will have to lose for some to win. The illusion of value is the primary dynamics of the stock market. What has become of the Bitcoin boom? And if it did happen, it will happen again.
Money's Dirty Secret: The Subjectivity Of Value
Then we have around 20% of people who love money because they have excellent connections, and the latter presume that money will always flow in, even if they never become millionaires. This category generally has the impression that they truly deserve the relative comfort of "bourgeoisie" while never considering how they help regulate the monetary dynamics between the 15% and the 65%.
Then we have another 15% of pure greed. These people are the sharks of society and generally kill softly over time. These 15% are worshiping money as a religion and impose upon the masses their unrestricted devotion to monetarism because the reward is also "unlimited power".
Out of these 15%, we find the 1% that is really ruling the planet behind the scene, the shadow government as many call it. The 14 other percents are jackals or economic hitmen gravitating around them, their armies, and most are millionaires. These people pull the strings of the social pyramid.
The root causes of poverty and the pillage of natural resources are thus easy to guess. John Perkins, former hitman, tells his story and explains why the problem will get WORSE if we do not address it. What is done on a grand scale is also done on a smaller one, as both scales use debt... (The $247 trillion global debt bomb - The Washington Post Jul 2018)
Money exists because of debt. Money IS debt and has always been. 5000 years so far and regardless of the medium of exchange. Money does not need to be, unless one is going after wealth and consolidation of power. But Natural Laws stand in the way. Today everybody can see that power/wealth can only be achieved by harming both, habitat and civilization.
People are free to use money nonetheless as long as they won't speculate on it, but then the result would be the same as no money at all because EMPATHY would be ruling all human exchanges.
EMPATHY is the only true currency whose value is immutable and thus a Natural Law that unites, or binds, all other Cosmic Principles.
Aug. 22, 2018. Texas is seeking at least $12 billion for the full coastal spine, with nearly all of it coming from public funds. Last month, the government fast-tracked an initial $3.9 billion for three separate, smaller storm barrier projects that would specifically protect oil facilities... Like other oceanfront projects, this one would protect homes, delicate ecosystems and vital infrastructure, but it also has another priority — to shield some of the crown jewels of the petroleum industry, which is blamed for contributing to global warming and now wants the federal government to build safeguards against the consequences of it..........

Lol,
I am sure that you just pulled those numbers out of your ass.
Money is NOT debt. Money is a medium of exchange.
We use fiat as if it was money nowadays. But it is not money, it is a money substitute. And using a crappy money substitute leads to all kinds of problems, as you so graciously point out in your blogs. That we use this crappy money substitute is the result of your communist buddies gaining control of the "free" government education, and getting a central bank established which is debasing our currency at a horrifying rate.
Thanks communists for destroying the social order and then blaming capitalism.
Empathy is not a medium of exchange. It is impossible to quantify. How much empathy to I have to trade for a dinner for two at my local restaurant? And since you decided all currency is debt, then empathy is debt? lolz. And your "natural laws" and "cosmic principles" do not exist. They are just word salad. You are just trying to substitute them for the 4 fundamental forces of nature. But you can't, because they are not real.
sorry folks, I hope many of you will read this blog again later. I had forgotten to insert the John Perkins interview... sorry again. It is now fixed
lol, nobody cares. You only have me. :-D
You are pissed off because I have my readership and the values I defend will continue to spread
VALUE WILL FOREVER REMAIN SUBJECTIVE. What has become of the Bitcoin boom?
But speak with yourself from now on, you are not worth my time :)
you mean your sudden army of bot votes? hehehe
HEY! I thought you hated robots!
ahaha, you didnt notice that informationwar is my new hashtag? ... but you didnt read either a fan of mine recommending it and i just followed her advice,.. scroll down and you will see that my blog traffic is related to that new hashtag...
and further did you ever click on the upvote rule to see WHO is voting up? Sorry there are NO robots there... all serious steemians, unlike you.
Best of luck promoting the very moody crypto mania. No wonder that the world is in so much debt... VALUE itself is THE paramount of all illusions.
Yea, I can tell they are not bots by all the interesting commentary.
Value is an illusion? So nothing is better than anything else. Then why are you promoting your version of communism? Its not any better, its just an illusion that it is any better than capitalism.
articulating soundly around a money free premise takes some time as one needs to master the key aspects FIRST... or at at least making sense of them. So people are rather in learning/reading mode.
keep thinking... The greatest spiritualists have warned about the dangers of materialism (attachment to possessions) throughout the centuries. This battle is not new. And I have joined their ranks. Deal with it.
It is money that gives capitalism and communism a meaning. but even that seems too far fetched for you. What else can I say?
I am sure you were among those pumping up bitcoin with irrational exuberance... most people have lost their shirts
So...what difference do those key aspects have, I mean they have no value, because value is an illusion.
And your new found fame is accounts that auto upvote your content. All you votes come within the first hour that you post. There are robot scripts that scrape steemit's content for someone's name or particular hashtag, and when it is found, is automatically upvoted. I saw you experimenting with it. You put the hashtag...100 upvotes. When you don't ... 5 votes. You are just gaming a money system to make yourself more money.
Congratulations, you are a budding capitalist. Keep going and you will start to see the benefits of the system that brought us out of subsistence living. :-D
I do think, that's why I find your crap to be amusing.
Communism, since its beginning, wanted to get rid of money and usher in a time when men will follow their "higher" moral compass which will bring an abundance of everything for everybody...because of reasons. The only thing that you added is that robots will bring us the abundance...because of reasons. Communism hates money and the free market, just as you do. Communism appeals to people's "higher nature", just as you do. Communism is willing to sacrifice a few hundred million lives to gain their utopia, just as you are.
Most people who invested in bitcoin are doing just fine.
look at the state of the planet which you still are in denial about.. WE ARE UTTERLY BANKRUPT.
Communism and capitalism alike DO NOT WANT TO GET RID OF MONEY. as it is their tool for control.
You find my crap amusing because it THREATENS your very indoctination
MONETARISM CANNOT PREVENT COLLUSION and their lies the fallacies of BOTH ideologies. Individualism will NEVER WORK out, nor the collective SHARING for a greater good. ]
Bitcoin just fine for 20% of people who invested when it was worth peanuts that is... The only thing that is working is that it promotes CASHLESS society which is ANOTHER tool for control. I read countless horror stories of people who used their 401k, life savings and borrowed to be part of the mania. Thanks to the subjectivity of value
