Wealth Extraction

We’re Living Through the Greatest Transfer of Wealth From the Middle Class to the Elites in History.

When historians look back on the decisions made beginning in March 2020 and still going strong, this period will be remembered as the “Great Consolidation”—the acceleration of a historic wealth transfer and power concentration out of the hands of the middle class and into those with political power and connections.

No doubt the Covid wealth extraction plan has gone, well - according to plan!

That said, the extraction has been going on for a long time, with no abatement. I think history is likely to record ‘this period’ as a blip on the steady extraction that has been occurring for decades!

“The world is a complex, interconnected, finite, ecological–social–psychological–economic system. We treat it as if it were not, as if it were divisible, separable, simple, and infinite. Our persistent, intractable global problems arise directly from this mismatch.”

“Who we are and who we become depends, in part, on whom we love.”

The 9th most expensive broadband on the planet.

Clearly broadband is the exception in the ‘land of the free’.


Break up Twitter?

I didn’t think Twitter was big enough to break up … more dumbass thinking from an idiot.


It’s clear from his post that @dave listened to the Fresh Air interview with McCartney .. so his question in the final paragraph is strange .. I think Paul answered it in that very interview. No?


I guess ‘block’ relates to ‘square’ more than ‘chain’.

Scott Russell Sanders has a new book - “The Way of Imagination” which is a “dazzling, often heartbreaking, and ultimately healing meditation on the power of art to confront the existential threat that human greed and violence has foisted upon the earth.”

That and so much more is what he talks about with Stuart Robbins on The People First podcast .. a fascinating conversation - like being a fly on the wall.

‘The Introduction’

… as heard on ‘The Rockentours’ with Rick Wakeman


To replace my main computer I used to need to double 2 out of 3 of

  • ‘HARD DRIVE’
  • ‘RAM’
  • ‘CLOCK SPEED’

before I even thought ‘replacement’.

The Mac I want has same RAM and Hard Drive as my current Mac

I guess I need to develop some new gating logic!

Any ideas?


I just got my first “dear john … I’m a dying widow with a massive inheritance” email in YEARS … love to know how it got through the spam filters!
