"Being a billionaire means you are part of the club. If you are, you either conform or you end up shunned. " - I think for being even comfortable people have to be "part of the club." Only a few would be "allowed" to profit/steal resources/etc. to such an extent as to become billionaires.

"Of course, the article in the end, calls for people, who have no power to change the direction of the world, to do something about it."

People believing they/we have no power to change things is certainly convenient to the insanity of our masters. As a general rule of rule, internalized powerlessness on the part of oppressed people (aka learning to live with one's abuser) is necessary for the psychopathy of power.

Anyway, this just in:

Burundi I am unclear. There was an election but the death was the losing incumbent. Not that it matters. Death is always on the table. That's how the wicked world stays wicked.

I believe the President of Tanzania is the person you reference. He is dead after testing the Papya and Goat. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-tanzania-idUSKBN22F0KF

The Presidents of Tanzania, Burundi, and Haiti were all "cleaned" after disobeying the cabal.

Didn't someone figure out that beyond about $75,000 a year there is not much of a benefit of more money, wrt happiness. This is also the 'average' income of people in the USA, according to Worlddata.info. A good year for me is about 1/3 of that number, $25,000. And I eat organic. I just don't buy anything new and I never vacation. I am not asking much here folks, just to live a bit.

House maintenance, car, and utilites are the large expenses, assuming one doesn't have a mortgage. $25k is enough is some states; in others, one needs twice that much.

I don't buy underwear*, drive a 1990 beater. But I have a roof for now. Will see. I lack ambition, deeply. Unless you consider ambition as a desire to just brew wine and beer and do work about 25 hours a week. An ambition to know the trees and plants on my block. I guess the only groups I align with are the Slow Food Movement (anti microwave! made from scratch) and some tree planting groups, local. Librarian Party. /s j *it works out, I just hate elastic as well. layers.
