1. There is a funny thing.

Many times I have commented on those with money first concepts. Money is an extension of control for some, in some systems.

So when I say money first thoughts, I am including 'control first' thoughts. The money is only wanted to be used to further some apparatus of control, so in the consolidations it is not about money. But when saying not being about money first, I am also saying it should not be about 'control' first. In there world, money translates to control of many things due to errors in the system, errors they use money to try and exploit.

So when you look at a consolidation that uses money to push an agenda for more consolidation, and to remove from people information, or to try and obscure or hide ideas that can help people, and do that for their own goal, money first would be also self first, or self love.

When unions organize, they are doing it for many people, it is true it is for themselves also. So there is, as said before some commonality in that. That is how the rich argue their point, they say the unions just want better conditions for some group they are in, same thing the rich do.


The difference is the entropy. The least of consolidation becomes the right argument, the poor, and those in hardship, because of the injustice of the consolidations, and the uses of that for more power when they are already over moderation.


On a side note, I am due beer and travel money, and many experiences.
