The wealth transfer during this lockdown/quarantine was not just money, it was data.

An unfathomable amount of data has been transferred to the tech world as a result of us being home, isolated, and most importantly vulnerable.
Think of the range of emotions and responses given in this time of social unrest, political upheaval, economic downturn, personal anxiety...to devices that are always monitoring our actions and responses.
The heads of Tech were all over this pandemic, because they needed massive data to sculpt this new* world they’re architecting. Sneaky bastids.

Everything online is a competition for your attention, because you spend your money on what you know exists. This is why digital redlining is an issue.

E-commerce is a final frontier for one being able to earn their full potential without a master, w/o someone taking a cut.
DSP’s take their cut every month.

For internet & phone service.

PayPal takes 3% on ALL
Transaction fees .

Apple wants 30%.

Spotify “pays” .004 - .006...for every listen you bring in.

Your domain & hosting want their bread upfront at a “discount”.

Etc etc.
This system is unsustainable because our value system is built on competing for fewer and fewer “available” dollars.

Every time your fans lose their job,
You lose potential income.

Every time your fans have an increase in their health insurance, you lose potential income.

Everyone looked at Michael Jackson like he was crazy when he wanted stake in Sony...then he did it.

Everyone looked at Prince like he was crazy for selling his album in the internet...and then he did it.

Everyone looked at Nip like he was crazy for selling his tape for $100..
@JoeBudden you’re not wrong for pushing the envelope.

There’s no such thing as negotiating a better slave contract.

The only way is to kill the masters, hijack the house, and pass the ammo.
Nobody says something is impossible or too much, until black people want to do it. Y’all ain’t learned yet?

Growing up, if you had bread and had a business you wanted lower taxes, which would allow you to expand your business and hire more people (raises etc)

But lower taxes meant less social programs, and everybody doesn’t have it like that.

It comes down to autonomy.
America gave to some and not others and and that’s where we find this divide because of how we’ve developed along the class strata.

Every city isnt built the same, the northeast is not like the black belt of the south, so we’re going to develop differently as a people.
There are some who think breaking bread with their people via hiring them is the way to economic prosperity in the long run...

And those that think a strong social welfare in the mean time is the best way to go.

Either way, neither party cares about YOU in particular.

Jesus was rebranded in America to be like Arnold Schwarzenegger in order to appeal to men who saw the church, prayer, and worship as feminine.

Jesus is less like a lamb...and more of the lion according to them.

What happened?
An old pastor told me

“For many households, if you get the man, you get the family. If you change the man, you change the family. Men are the destructive force in our society, therefore it is them we must work on reforming.”

How has this played in today’s world you ask?
Men feeling like they need to “be like Jesus” and restore Law and Order, because they feel they are personally commissioned by God to do so.

Not preach.
But influence, whatever form that takes place.

A lot gets justified in the name of God that way, as history has proven.

Democrats are actively working to suppress the vote of the @GreenPartyUS, and not enough people are talking about it.
Bernie admitting that he didn’t want to end up like @RalphNader...after being blamed by the Democrats for 2016, made me look at Nader’s politics...which are the ACTUAL platforms that @BernieSanders ran on...in part. @AngelaNWalker & @HowieHawkins are now carrying that forward.
When @BernieSanders kept taking Joe Biden’s side...but not @ninaturner it was at that moment I felt he preferred allegiance to the democrats to oust Trump...rather than speak on the @GreenPartyUS. If we’re gonna be about policy...we need to be about that.
