I'm tired of being monetized. They have more than enough money.
When you have that much money the only thing left to buy is power.
That's why they don't stop. If you're too exhausted just trying to pay for survival, but you can still survive, you are most likely just going to smoke a bowl, or drink a beer, or eat Taco Bell or any combination within and then go to sleep and do it all again.
You're entirely predictable, your voice is contained, your information feed is curated, you've been outmaneuvered before you knew moves were being made.
Stop spending money. It's literally the only way to take control back sans revolution and guillotines. Grow what foods you can, barter with those that can grow more. It might be impossible to fully divest - I haven't been able to but I'm super close, but I think all of us can think of ways we can lessen our need for the dollar. It won't be easy but you want to know a secret? Life isn't supposed to be easy. It's probably best to extricate that notion from your goals...I'm 43. Every year I've been alive the working class (99% of us) has seen their living conditions decline and our money be able to purchase less and less. That, is the only trend, the only metric by which I can look out at society with and 100% know will continue. 2020 was the easiest year of this decade.
If we all stop believing in the value of the dollar, guess what? Then it's worthless and that lazy entitled delusional class of sycophants, socio and psychopaths that hoard all the wealth will regress to the mean.
I think the fountain of youth is made of tears from depossessed aristocracy. That's my theory anyways, I'm looking forward to testing it.
