"We bankers hate taking your home! First we need to pay the dogs to rip you out of your home, then we need to assess how much we've scored, then we need to actually SELL your home...can you believe that? We would much rather you just continued to pay us normally so we could have stolen from you without all the extra headache. The economy is like a badly designed game of Monopoly. Winner take all, and they keep it. 1910 all over again, 10 guys own 90% of everything. Nobody wants to play that game (but we have to). The govt needs to start breaking up massive corps (again). There needs to be a UBI (min wage) and a MAXIMUM wage. Say, everything over 5M$ per year the govt keeps. Assets over 100M$, the govt takes. Mr Billionaire, congrats you win! Now give it all back and see if you can do it again. Just like Monopoly (which is a fun game, the rules work)''.
"To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places...To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away and never, never, to forget." ~ Arundhati Roy
