Elucidating Questions

There’s enough money on Earth to be environmentally conscious, even rejuvenating, house every human, feed every human, clothe every human, and provide moderate comfort

Yeah?

It exists

And just ignoring the absolute ridiculousness of money and how it came about for a moment

People say “Rich people aren’t taking any money from the poor” as if holding funds in purgatory, never to be seen again, doesn’t cause strain on their precious system of moving capital

As if governments can just produce money and make things happen

If there was a wage cap, people wouldn’t want to have giant billion dollar pay cheques because they wouldn’t keep any of it

I think they should create one with taxes

I wonder how much money I made my CEO this year?

I wonder how much of it they’ll use in their lifetime?

It’s probably a man

If it’s a woman she’s white

Let’s go find out

Oh it’s a man, and he’s white, and sleazy looking

Shocker

He’s just a little fish too

Nothing compared to some others

It’s hard to tell where the line starts

Between working class and elite

Even the so called good guys won’t tax the rich though

They wouldn’t even be taking any of the wealth they already have, just part of what they make from now on

You cannot convince me that a billionaire needs to make a cent more money in their life

Not one

Don’t try it

Like if there needs to be an extreme cap? If a number like five hundred million doesn’t seem big enough for you?

Every human can make 1 single billion, after taxes

But it shouldn’t be as fucking easy as putting on a tie and sitting at a desk and making phone calls and sitting at meetings talking about things you don’t even understand because you’re not on the floor experiencing how each store flows

Fucking miners and firefighters and scientists and teachers etcetera should be the ones hitting that billion dollar mark

People who go out in storms to fix your electricity?

Them

The people putting their hearts and their bodies on the line for society

And I’m almost at the point, even having recieved a type of inheritance, where I’m like people should just die with their wealth, man

But if people who were actually contributing to society

Not these people who have so much free time they can orchestrate entire wars

Were successful

And, truthfully?

I’d rather it just stop existing, money

It’s such a headache

I wish we’d just collectively do things to better the community around us

That skills like knitting and crochet and baking and tickering with electronics, and these things that serve a small function, were considered to be valuable

I wonder why I wasn’t born in a time when community existed beyond pockets here and there

We owe eachother what we believe we deserve

If you believe you deserve to eat, every human deserves to eat

If you believe you deserve an air conditioner (terrible for the environment but that’s another rant) when it gets too hot out, every human does too

And I almost wonder if one of the biggest damages our society has done to us is having so many people believe “we’re owed nothing by no one”

But I think we have a responsibility, being the allegedly “higher species”

We’re a feeling people

Anyone who doesn’t feel, probably has a divergence of some sort, nothing wrong with it, but maybe don’t emulate it?

Or they’re lying

I want for every human what I experienced over the past two months

An ease of existence

I was lonely as hell, but if I needed something I could get it

But that silence of that tiny voice in your head always doing calculations to see if you can afford x, y, or z

I’d gift that to every human if I could

Ensure every single one has everything they need

I want that for humanity
