Why Do We Have to PAY Others Just to LIVE?!?! IT’S INSANITY!

We are out here on this Earth and surrounded with everything we need to live amazing lives. So why have we created, and continue to tolerate, a system that makes us work our whole lives earning money so we can pay for the privilege of living?

Well, that's fine and dandy, but your post is lacking some macro-economic sense. This is a Keynesian system my friend; permanent inflation and permanent growth. When exports decline, along with productivity, and the US continues to export dollars in the form of loans; everything becomes devalued. This is why your wages don't keep up with inflation. This is simple supply and demand in a Federal Reserve controlled economy. If you want people to stop living in poverty having to work so much, then credit needs to be 'severely' constricted and productivity/exports need to increase. This will increase the worth of the dollar in the currency markets. Giving people artificially low interest rates on debt only drives demand/inflation. Stop subsidizing people and this will cease to happen.

Thanks for bringing this up Tim. Im fortunate to say that I haven’t paid rent since July 2022.

We share a communal kitchen, bathroom, and outdoor shower, with my own private dwelling. And now I’m working part time at a bakery within walking distance to make money while I’m here. That’s my hack. I have a lot of mosquito bites and have to deal with some weirdos sometimes but it’s better than paying rent for this broken system. That’s the problem with capitalism/the free market, it allows for inflation to happen and unsustainable costs to rise only to the greedy person’s benefit. Even the good hearted businesses have to raise their prices because they’re just trying to make ends meet. I’m so over it and I try to spend my money as wisely as I can now.

It’s a lot of manual labor farm work and sleeping in camping-like conditions. There are also weird people/situations that you’ll find in these communal farm environments.

I admire the homeless because they somehow living without things many abuse and take for granted. Homeless people should make a person humble themself as many do not think they can become homeless. Just because a person is homeless does not mean they do not u derstand or have love or caring or peace. Many people living in houses with employment are not at peace. No matter what being grateful for all that exists is the best way to live. That which one can not control, accept it and be at peace with it. The demonic kingdom loves confusion and wants others to be confused. God is not about confusion nor chaos. As long as people do not seek God, they will seek that which ain’t gonna mean them any good or well-being.

Wages cannot keep up with those debt obligations if the credit is not producing it's weight in material value. If you want wages to strengthen against the US Dollar, then raise interest rates and give tax incentives to keep production in the US.

They can't fathom all this; parking fines, TV licence, overpriced goods, speeding tickets, etc. Every time wages go up, they ensure the price on everything else goes up too, essentially keeping us trapped in the system of working until retirement, yet, workers Always have the power.

The word "dollar" is supposed to be a weight measurement equal to 1/20 an ounce of gold, aka $20 an ounce. But gold is now $2,000 an ounce. So they've devalued the dollar by about 99% since 1933.
