As an NWOke warrior in California, I've written a couple of op-eds entitled "Santa Cruz Hates Homeowners" and "If Wishes Were Houses, Beggars Would Reside." I compare the situation in SC to my Appalachian hometown where I published another called "Bloom or Bust? Cumberland and California." I put the texts of these into a recent episode called "Home is Where the Hearth Is" that talks about how we could solve the problems of both by taking mortgages back from the bankers and using them to fuel our community economies:
Thank you Steve! On Matt Taibbi's Substack, I started a lively conversation based on two young white men, 20 and 21, who burned rubber driving over a BLM 'mural'--consisting only of those words--painted on the sidewalk in front of Santa Cruz City Hall. The NWOke mob is seeking $100K in damages (far in excess of the budget to paint it originally) and 5 yrs in prison. A black resident says he can't go to work somedays because he's so afraid. Blacks are 1% of the county. Latinos are 33%, but they seem able to go to work. If the kids were black and toppled a statue they found offensive to their heritage, the NWOkers would be lauding them as heroes. If these two kids felt that their lives DIDN'T matter, haven't we just proven it to them?
There are also 285 tents camping next to the County Courthouse, complaining about their accommodations. NWOke activists say we need to be ready for hundreds more. And their point is?
I also just submitted this LTE: In the State of Homelessness editorial, fourteen MediaNews papers asked its editors, “Do people in your area claim that most of the homeless people are from somewhere else, and if your city would just stop all the ‘great benefits,’ they’d go back to wherever they came from?” These ‘false narratives’ led to their project. But they didn’t answer the question. Were our homeless born in Santa Cruz, do they have family here, were they residents before they became homeless? That would be easy enough to verify by asking for their place of birth and last address. In 2017 CA had 22% of the nation’s homeless with 12% of the population. That indicates at least 10% of the country’s homeless have come here from elsewhere. In addition to the second highest cost of housing, we’re each taking responsibility for twice our share of the country’s homeless. And there’s no end in sight.
To let our friend Steve off the hook, I think you've got the number too high. The people who create the money from mortgages aren't spreading that ability around. They're not the 1%, they're one in 100M or the .00000001% (if I've counted my zeroes right). I'd say no more than 80 oligarchs in the world.
And WORSE than throwing them in the bottom of the ocean, where their impotent rage would be extinguished, would be taking back the assets and labor that backs their money--or bubble gum wrappers as Putin calls it.
In the immortal words of the Godfather, 'Take the assets, leave the money.' The money will only shoot you in the foot.
Hahahaha! I’m not worthy. What can I say? Thank you Teresa. Hey Hubris, let me give you an unsolicited opinion: don’t be messing with an Awakened Economist :)
Hahaha. I actually did develop a plan for the oligarchs in one of my episodes: Yuval Harari & the MetaWealth Miniverse. Since they're into fake lab-grown meat and 24/7 virtual unreality, what do they need Earth for? We can just shoot them into space in Elon's cockrocket (as Russell Brand calls it) and they can live out eternity there--since death is for peons. Some minions might choose to go serve them but not millions. And then they can leave the rest of us alone to dig in the real dirt, see friends in real life, and make babies the real old-fashioned way ;-)
BTW, love the moniker Hubris. Very tongue-in-cheeky.
Elon has one too! This article has a very funny photo but the text is telling too:
Elon Musk, the benevolent Agent Smith of our time, isn't content with inventing cars that drive themselves and rockets that fly themselves and solar panels that solar themselves. No, he's taking humanity to Mars so we don't all die. ALL A-FUCKING-BOARD!
Just this afternoon Musk announced, via web video, the details of how SpaceX will get people from our rapidly deteriorating blue orb up to the dusty, seemingly inhospitable planet known as Mars. "What I'm really trying to do is to make Mars seem possible," said Musk, sounding buoyant and optimistic. Then he dropped the heavy stuff:
"There will be some extinction event. I don't have some doomsday prophecy. The alternative is to become a space-going species."
[dead silence]
"Which, I hope you would agree is the right way to go."
Hey. I just spent some time watching your linked “home is where the hearth is.” You tackle relatively complex subjects in a really friendly, relaxed style. I really enjoyed it. You’ve quite talented. I’ll check out more of your work for sure. Thanks for doing this!
I'm honored that you checked out my video, Steve. What a nice compliment. I'm really enjoying the YT/ Substack format. I'm finding people who are engaging with those relatively complex subjects and my relatively complex ideas on them ;-) I'll look forward to your thoughts when you check out some more. Glad to make your acquaintance!

Tereza, we need more like you on our team! (edited to spell your name correctly)

They are doing their expected part-- ignorant of their elite masters’ goals-- to create hate and divisiveness.

How would you call 1000 banksters at the bottom of the ocean? "A good start"!
HaHaHaHaHaHaHa! I'm a lawyer, and I resemble that remark! HaHaHaHaHaHa!
You have competition now; you have to try harder :)...

You are definitely a nice guy, with a sense of humor :)... NO trip for you to the bottom of the ocean - ha, ha!
"And WORSE than throwing them in the bottom of the ocean"... would pollute the oceans :P...
Would you prefer cremated :P?
Sure, there are probably few people in control... but don't forget their minions, and those are counted in millions.

That's Bezos' cock-rocket... (https://www.indiatoday.in/science/story/blue-origin-new-shepard-launch-snl-pete-davidson-jeff-bezos-space-tourism-1925475-2022-03-15)...
Same Megalomania, Different (psychopathic) Billionaire... (SMDB)
("psychopathic" is redundant when describing "billionaires").
Although your photo on Bezos' cockrocket is pretty unmistakable.
SMDCR.
Lordy! What kinda’ thread did I wander into? Hahahahahahahaha! Y’all are hilarious!
