The idea that an economic system untethered to any ethical or moral consideration - then given virtual control of our government - leads to anything other than societal disaster is a foolish illusion that’s already created rampant pain and dysfunction for both people and planet.

But the notion that economic systems can be "untethered" from moral considerations shows that you have no real understanding of economics in the first place.

Agreed- Profits before people equals- An economic crisis An environmental crisis A humanitarian crisis A social and political crisis. Where does it stop? We must pause and ask- “Who are we? And what have we become?” We deserve better- That is why I support Marianne Williamson.

Have you ever used a cell phone? Use social media? Use internet? Buy from Amazon? Eat in a national chain restaurant? Own/lease a vehicle? You now understand how "corporatists" succeed. The wealthy provides products and services that large numbers of people use

👍 - Jesus said people need to choose whether to serve our Father in Heaven or to serve the spirit of money “Mamona.” - New Age thinking misses spiritual warfare tips that Jesus highlighted.

Another suggestion is if we will consider connecting the value of our currency to efforts towards caring for living beings, our life-support systems, and any successes.

Unending wars began when we untethered money to sound principles. Printing endless fiat $$ enabled the funding of endless war. The separation of Money and State will change so much for the better. And Bitcoin is the Gov $$ monopoly buster.

Yet, we are thriving - how do you explain the cognitive dissonance?
