Some quotes:

" Companies will tell us “we’re a family!” and encourage us to put the company before the personal.

Companies benefit when employees put the job first. Sometimes this is healthy – a sort of “we’re stronger together” vibe – but sometimes it’s not.
...
I think many people... underestimate just how ruthless and sociopathic our late-stage Capitalist working conditions really are. (I’m speaking mostly about the US here; that’s what I know.)

...There are very few mechanisms for dealing with bad workplaces.
...There are very rarely consequences for poor behavior; anything from run-of-the-mill bad management to harassment and abuse often goes unchecked. "

ALSO SOME OF MY NOTES HERE
https://floss.social/@alcinnz/108268514294379373

And to add to that I would say
"...people themselves are also assumed to be abundant, replaceable, and free...
They end up pay each other unevenly while the top of food chain get bigger pay and siphons off %'s going down the pyramid.
Taking slices for doing a bad job and even asking for more..." (slap my face!)

(This is not exactly the same context as 1st quote but suits me in the way the same templates / matrices are setup and re-enforced with the original force / control / land take over / fences put up).

Being tired and constantly working (and not knowing how to take breaks) causes people to get in to shorter loops or a kind of selfishness from being overloaded... which is hard to get out of, or make sense from where problems come from (just the same loops usually from being overloaded / not caring for everything or low priority which then becomes high priority and then emergency)... and during this evolution of neglect, or continual oversight, communications and feelings get more and more tested as time and work keeps piling up... becoming more personal and aggressive.
This was specifically obvious when someone today doing 4 things at a time kept needed to be reminded about something simple but each time but time-slicing too much was taking their attention and making it hard to remember the order or the previous messages and statuses which all change again as time goes on (bewarre)
Leaving things makes it more more personal/emotional to you and others which takes other people's energy too instead of making it really as much as possible 1 by 1 things and measuring how good you can go ad-hoc as that is also needed and according to mood. But if you're too busy time-slicing this is like a processor doing very little of everything or have too much of the same monotonous work and not having any culture / not growing much else in life (which is a problem itself)

Simplified, imagine a put of water and short pots you constantly have to fetch and empty, fetch and empty.
But even with big pots you might leave it too long and let things overflow while your away thinking you pot is big (often happens when people are cooking with wrong pot or turning heat up to maximum instead of slow and safe)

So the workers get the stress or authoritarian attitude when bosses or managers to be reminded more, which only tests their relationships, because generally the problems is that overloading of work (or aiming for perfect or 'maximum efficiency' inside normal/imperfect people.

Overloading on life encroaches into all life... and you can see how this works on a civilisation if they are too busy doing any government's prescribed work instead of all the other parts of culture (which measurably is not supported or paid for by gov).

Try do a bit less (because even then that might me more than you can chew).

Will review this later but just as a note / observation and yeah slight computer reference about overdoing the time-slicing (though some people / cpu can do it but it's good to call out on those that can't because they sometimes loose control of themselves!). Humans are a good check on each other if it can be in a good way and helping while maintaining you're own balance in helping.

Lots of points I'll clear up one day or in conversation.

Converting "feelings" is an under-estimated as a way of doing things.

As if it were a supernatural material we are not utilising it and helping others release our own potential.
Which also I think is deliberately limited as this is one of the true essence and potentials- how we feel, what we want to do and what it means to us individually and in common.

Measurable releasing each other 's potential can help us achieving almost anything we want from 1to1 to 1toMany... then ManytoMany.

#feelings = #energy / #motivation = power

Anyone who wants commentary welcome. Or show me your games (copy url and that's it!) and I'll give you tips or generally "where it went most wrong" ---> without trying to school anyone / just for interest

Language often seems like it is naming things perfectly well but sometimes naming something at all is an error because of what it does say (and if we assume language is precise we can go wrong just as fast also...)

Reasons for such errors:

- things and people have many more attributes than their name
It / They are not just what it's name is

- More correctly names are what they have been given, and that can also depend on who gave it for it's own twist into the story or meaning of the name

- things / people are usually an ever changing variable or evolving. This includes hidden depreciation or natural wear and tear.

- things / people has many subcomponents which can be more or less relevant but not obvious unless you knowing it more inside and out

- it lack respect to look at something in short (humans for example need much more and it's disrespect to look down on people with short-depth understanding or with 0/minimal/proper study or 1st person asking)

- people feed themselves what suits them (if it's bad they look for then bad they will get)

- things / people can be objectified or over-personal by names

- Short-depth perspectives feed assumption of the on-looker - when it's much deeper in many ways (including consciousness) it can also trigger in people more problems BUT at least more truth is there... and it's also confusing- expect that! Better than shorter pretending, right?

Using social media when it's against your own principles doesn't work especially to reach people who don't want to be reach or who know already (don't kid yourself by being there or trying to save anybody)...

1st BIG point is also make it measurable, so you're not on it indefinitely as it's the HABIT which is also being trained there (USER = HABITS,...

2 BIG point- you're also endorsing what you use a lot of the time even if you don't mean to)

IN MORE DETAIL:

1- If you're using social media to 'reach people, please make sure you measure your successes vs. you're failure (i.e you're whole time you're there and not here or non-commercial space)

People who are forever on it under the 'activist' flag or user type I think after a certain time need to accept the score and see people are not there to be converted or you're being there is over-kill in the name of others who already know.

2- You're only adding yourself to the fire (not in a good way!).

In a good way, see it as burning building, when there is no need to go rescue anyone or anything.

Friends can get offended because often they use their friends to represent themselves.
Best have trained out of this, and while negotiation with good friends is good, at the end you are you and they are them. No competition or you existence is not there to be opposite them though they can perceive it that way 0_0

A good friend makes time to tell their friend in space and time. A bad friend (in my book) doesn't make time and doesn't want to hear it (these people you can try with but don't throw yourself at their mercy).

Good friends know the limitations of the other(s) while accepting it if it's above a certain limit or even if 1 thing is great and the rest bad (using each other for the best bits or generally cool and casually able to hang out)

The language(s) you use influence how and what you write perhaps from it's own culture, history etc though it may not be obvious to you or others

(even subtle or unsubtle perspectives, nomenclature, values of object are all involved)

woa crazy! My commons sayings:

- like water is not so obvious to fish
- like air can be seen or appreciated by humans

-Some of my thoughts and
-Future slogans:

Creative Commons says upfront what people can do in a more clear manner. (see logos and banners)

Blocking the bad in a legal ways and standards or just clearly said ways can be a good thing,
Like using something against those that attack us, restricting them also. It's not perfect perhaps but does well as a more pre-emptive defence or attacking move for more moral chess (rather than waiting until your creations to get use / stolen / robbed / patented and then complain about it).

It's "nice" to be clear and even make exceptions while not leaving the door always open.

Remember 'legal' is not moral by existence or as a default. it's a more authoritarian thing like rules which can just be top-down orders.

Public people / Peasants / Civilians who didn't create legal law. or know near-0 about it, mistaking use 'moral' with legal. People cn even replace it like it's the same thing like rules+morals=law... butoften not!! Many things "legal" just seem "moral" or seem "legal" it's the same game as before with more hoops and more nested rules inside other rules (like the mummy dolls you open up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matryoshka_doll

Law / Legality DOES NOT NEED be moral or very clearly moral in it's creation. Legality is mostly an own self-made construct of many things for outcomes good for the 'house' / lords / owners etc. It's not conditionally moral, just plays close enough to act like it....
And by default expects you to pay to break back any rules they add. And by adding many rules fast they are getting more what they want unless we can undo them or put them to stricter questioning in creation.

To pay for what is questionably wrong or pay to prove they are 'wrong' is also a casino in which win or lose the lawyers and house get a cut AND know what to block in the future with smaller cases that arise. It's not a static system.

Difficult to block all these things... so Creative Commons licenses (for example CC-BY-NC-SA) allows people to see the bastard tactics ahead of time and BLOCK them using it's license maker...

#Human Trafficking is pretty much what we have now. A market place for people who are bought / hired and somewhat owned as the basic ultimatum to living (or just existing not really living outside of work as they are too tired / head hurts / demotivated / need to sleep).

People / future children get roped into selling their time as an ultimatum to getting food and paying for increasingly expensive shelter (for the same houses, paying multiple times their cost) while yes more luxury or pollutions exists also (better than old-forms of slavery) while also at the same time emptying out morality somewhat... leaving much less for the next generation / constricting life.
SO mainly this basis is my focus in mentioning this basic form of trafficking as the bare ultimatum condition of living (you die quickly without a job so it's jsut newer form of slavery / soft-slavery, manipulation, steering... always a bit of a losing exchange happening at the same time as 'just living' is not really living but debatable it's addressing continuing problems causes by Government who is also manipulating by DEvaluating people and starving things out of existence in the communities).

All while some almost anonymous entity chooses who gets more as wages and what it will pay more and less for and who is worth more to them in their won values and just subsidising to boost things artificially (using public money).

This all seems proportionally evident to all the good things which take mind-bending hours (often illegal or unsaid over-working / non-paid work) by the basic and labour intensive work like teachers, doctors, nurses, human care... which is paid less than a lawyer for 15mins of their time (gatekeepers / other ultimatums via paygates re-enforced by Government structure).
Yes it's not fair and yes buying and selling each others time while Government and banks siphon it for their own collective's wants and will-power to do differently than their people are crying for and protest about every day...

Human Trafficking is one of the major basics to funding and fuelling other problems instead of solving properly existing problems (hungry people, solving suffering) without further taking advantage of people and making them go through lots of hoops and obstacles as kind of adding problems on some other sides of the equation to what they 'solving' and what we are paying infinitely for.

I reserve the right to re-write this... but any major problems
(like if you think the mentality of those controlling system is good and good-willed / not over-manipulative / if they are looking to really solve things or just trying to further their own enterprise / business of ruling people as cheap as possible for themselves).

edited quotes from #GiveLotus hashtag.......towards my own meanings or shorter forms....
originally by @maff1989

...a simple, efficient, and productive mechanism (if this is at all humanly possible) for providing funding to push forward the dream of a better, less violent, more free world."
Ideally just giving things and having basics all taken care of (by ourselves AND by others that work faster / slower in many different ways)

...Wouldn't it be great for projects if they could be funded consistently by *ethical money instead of funded inconsistently through donations of blood money? (* = never is it 100% ethical since it was most likely created 100% from needed debt or % as result of government or bank pressure on humanity (themselves doing bad work / tricking us and their people)

The problem with new currency as viable money is that it cannot be a unit of account while priced in another unit of account, e.g. USD.

edited quote text from original quotes all here #GiveLotus by @maff1989

-----------------------------

Lotus solves this problem by adjusting inflation to demand, as opposed to a "hard supply cap", thereby allowing for price stability.

edited quote text from original quotes all here #GiveLotus by @maff1989

-----------------------------

"Due to the lack of ability to stabilize the value of the cryptocurrencies, they are unsuitable for being a unit of
account in trades which involve a time-delay between price agreement and redemption." -

-----------------------------

Crypto speculation in crypto markets is widely a losing endeavor. It's only profitable if you're in the tight-knit group of insiders that are manipulating the markets.

edited quote text from original quotes all here #GiveLotus by @maff1989

-----------------------------

It's better to give crypto than to trade crypto. #GiveLotus

-----------------------------

...adjusting inflation to demand... also sounds like manipulation and bias towards keeping it 'balanced' perhaps like a treadmill wanting to keep people working for the change prices... meaning it's unbalanced and needs questionable intervention though it might be less of an evil that inflation or determination by companies...., as opposed to a "hard supply cap" allowing for price stability.
