Hi Everyone... Very Happy

I have been reading so many horror stories
about people being un-employed, loosing their
homes, it seems like theirs no future in this country,
people can't find jobs no matter what kind, homes are
being lost by the thousands, it's getting to look like the
1920's and 1930's...Then someone told me today that
the government may change the currency to a new one,
I hope not, we've had the same currency for well over
two hundred years, the American public would never stand
for that, sometimes I wonder if we're headed for a severe
depresion ?

Cheers..Joe.. Very Happy

Platitudes seldom work, however I believe the future will be as we make it. I mean that on a personal level. It's difficult to change a family, let alone an entire country. The only thing we have control over is with our actions prompted by our thoughts. Taking control of thoughts is the tough part.

I don't understand much about finance, but I don't think that we are using the same "currency" we did in the past. We seldom use cash for anything anymore, and that "cash" has not had a back-up in "real" currency for some time.

The value of a dollar today isn't based on reality. It is based on the whim of a few people who decide what they think it ought to be worth, and what they think is decided by a powerful few who want to stay powerful.

We live in a world that believes strongly in a concept of scarcity or the belief that there is not enough stuff to go around, and that power, control, and the construction of reality itself belongs to an elect few who get to choose for the rest of us.

But the general public is beginning to wake up, and see a different reality that involves a true equality between genders, lifestyles, cultures, ethnic groups, and localities that are currently separated by imaginary lines that were drawn by members of that elect few.

Much that has been hidden is being uncovered these days, and people are seeing a different version of reality, and are demanding that it be recognized and lived up to.

The concept of "currency" is a part of that change. (no pun intended)

Just me.

Ann

Ann...

This past year I came to the conclusion,
if I have the cash or save up then I buy the product I
want , cash only , getting rid of the small charge plates
I have and If I do charge like food gifts to be sent, I pay
it off, I guess we'll have to go back to the old ways like
my great grandparents did..

Cheers..Joe

I don't think the general public sees past their next credit card statement.
