Document Summary
In england, you can talk about sex, but not economics. Living in their means means everyone goes into debt. The wealthy have a lot of power, so they can find ways around it. Interests and taxes are basically governments using you to pay off their debts to balance their books. Work culture - government makes you feel worthless. The idea of people being efficient actually isn"t true. Value comes from paperwork according to society. Creating people to check and balance each other to feel less valuable because the value has been moved to paperwork instead of people. People have become parasites because that"s what society has made them to be. Idea of people getting paid less if they are actually contributing to the world. Like an artist or even a nurse. How do we define it with these contradictions. Flunkies - there to make someone look good. Goons - there because someone else has them.
