This is why there is a push for a higher minimum wage. It is price/wage inflationary. That is the model all these programs are built on.

Plain and simple: the system has been rigged by the elites through the political class, and that is why Trump was elected.

The Deep State might succeed in toppling Trump, but they are riding around on a pi$$ed off tiger (the American worker and middle class) that will throw them off and eat them if they do.

This book describes a global system that integrates money, work, commerce and community in new ways, using social/technical innovations that are already in daily use.

This book is the practical blueprint of a new system that offers opportunities for meaningful work and ownership of the sources of prosperity not just to a few, but to everyone.

In this system, every individual has the power to change the system for the betterment of themselves and every other participant. Being at the top of the heap is no longer a prerequisite. Everyone who is powerless in the current arrangement is empowered in this new system. Empowered to not just better themselves and their family, but better their community and through that organization, the larger community of Planet Earth.

Yeah yeah yeah. Buy the book.

Verily it is the case that there’s no plan devised by either of your broken, craven political parties to fix this problem. Only the Deep State has a plan to do anything, whether it will fix this problem or not remains to be seen. That plan is WAR!

Relax!

Nothing that presently exists will survive the “Bowl Judgments” that ensue for the ten days that follow the Day of Trumpets, in the fall of 2024.

Sit back and enjoy the beauty of Yehova’s perfect plan.
