The right... The establishment "centrists" and the corporations that are oppressing the fuck out of most of the 99% are highly organized, have meetings and plan the fuck out of what they do. The left doesn't want to be organized, they wanna do stuff. Just run off based in feels.
The measure by which the enemy prepares and the tools they use for battle are what we are fighting against. It requires organization, planning and yes... Meetings
A plan can involve high level work group tasks. It can be a campaign. But it requires planning... It requires brainstorming. It requires ideation.
And it requires meetings.
When people reject this. They fundamentally reject success. As an activist. That can be the difference between life and death.

The Federal Reserve and the US Treasury have a consolidated Balance Sheet.

Let that sink in if you still think the Fed is private.

The Fed remits ALL profits back to the Treasury MINUS operating expenses.

When Congress writes and passes a bill, the Fed makes deposits from thin air to the Treasury's accounts to make payments. On demand. Out of thin air.
Congress created the Federal Reserve in 1913. Period.

Article 1 Section 8 gives Congress the sole authority to power of the nations purse.

Social security isnt going broke
Your federal taxes do not pay for stuff
They are deleted.
Republicans didn't raid the social security trust fund
The National Debt is not Debt at all as we know it

Funny, of all the vital roles people can find work, one of them I have attempted to teach people is project management. It is a universal skill & sorely needed in activism & program building. It pays & it is useful. I wonder why it is so challenging to get that point out there.
Situational awareness is a vital PM skill. Being alert and acting as a canary in the coalmine is a skill and responsibility of a good PM. Never burying their heads in the sand or checking out are key project manager traits required to ensure risks are managed & dealt with.
You can see how these skills would be useful for an activist or an activist organization. Checking out is a sure fire way to lose every single time.

All Federal spending is NEW MONEY. All Federal Taxation is the deletion of money. Have to repeat this all the time to make it stick, but the fact is money isn't created then spent. It is spent INTO existence. It's not sitting in a vault. Nor is it sitting on a Brinks truck.

Why does this matter? Our money is democratically "created" when Congress, via Article 1 Section 8 of the US Constitution, authorizes spending. Banks dont create it, load it on a pallet and lend to the Federal Government. The real question is who does Congress serve?
It should absolutely disgust you how our education system has failed us as millions of libertarians and conspiracy peddlers say the *private federal reserve* (code for lemming treats) just arbitrarily "prints money". The great lies meant to confound and they have been successful

Modern Monetary Theory (#MMT) is a hyper accurate description of macroeconomics & how the operational realities of a modern monetary system works today. A sovereign, free floating, non-convertible fiat currency. like the US or Australian Dollar, British Pound or Japanese Yen. 1/x
So to deny those facts presents an unnecessary barrier to progressive programs and services. 💯
So... yes.... if you are blocking the knowledge of how to get a progressive agenda accomplished TODAY you have placed unnecessary blockers in front of saving lives. 💯

I've grown weary of problems without actionable solutions. We all know we are facing an environmental crisis. We all know this. Honestly? It will take a World War II level intervention to alter this significantly & a lot of diplomacy to engage other nations to do the same.
1/x
Most folks talking about the environment lead you off a bridge to oblivion. They point out the problem, but couldn't answer how to fund an initiative like this. Most are still chasing Bitcoins and berries.
The truth is, the window is tightening.

It requires real solutions. Real solutions that require an understanding of how to mobilize resources but leveraging the public purse.

I gauge the efficacy of all environmental work by how they Marshall resources in their solutions.
