As @richardbranson, @JeffBezos & @elonmusk race to get into space, I’m reminded of that Gil Scott Heron song:

“I can't pay no doctor bill
(but Whitey's on the moon)
Ten years from now I'll be payin' still
(while Whitey's on the moon)”

Gil Scott/Heron’s stand-up was very funny & always ‘political’

“When I went to see “Jaws”, I identified with the shark. Jaws was the home team. He was in the water. This is where sharks are known to be. You go to the beach, he goes to the supermarket.”

Greed?
What's there to say about greed?
There's something grubby about it.
There's something weak & pathetic about it.
It's almost servile; a kind of inner grovelling neediness.
You make yourself the saddle in which THINGS ride.

So why are so many people so greedy?

Corporate greed:

United Utilities has the hard job of transporting water from the Lake District to Manchester.
In the last 6 months it made monopoly profits of £292m.
In the last 5 years the boss took home £12m.
Is that greedy enough for you?

The 9 bosses of the water companies have been paid £58m over the past 5 years.

Greedy enough for you?

#UBI is the strategic solution to protect the ruling classes from Molotov cocktails & global civil unrest. Disclosures on coming "disbanding of existing safety-net programs" are not included in the foundation funded marketing campaigns. ImageImageImageImage
"Cutting a wide array of existing programs — such as the earned income tax credit (#EITC), #child tax credit (#CTC), temporary #assistance to needy families (#TANF), supplemental #nutrition assistance program (#SNAP), & #disability insurance — would cover only 1/5 of the cost..." Image
#UBI will "result in a massive loss of existing transfers to people w/ #disabilities & #families w/ children. This approach would exacerbate the needs of the most vulnerable members of society."

"CivilSociety" "leaders" are 21st century commodities created/utilized by the rich. ImageImageImage
