Hello, fellow wonderful human beings. This nice lady is on the right track but capitalism is all about profit, not people. We have to shift our paradigm away from accepting the false concepts of "money" , and capitalism. We need neither. WE have to identify our needs and our wants. Our other false concept, "ownership", is to our detriment. Reverse engineer, "money" , and let me know who "owned", the first cow, pig, diamond mine, or anything and how they gained "ownership". I've been told that people used to trade, before "money" was invented. How did one, come to " own" anything, to trade it for anything else? Nature operates on balance, not profit. There is no, "money" tree, anywhere. Not even mention of one, being created by a higher being. Necessity, not profit, is the mother of invention. I will one day expound on our paradigm shift, which is , think logically, accept the truth, and live accordingly. Peace always.
