If banks can't pay their own loans back, how are we expected to pay?

Banks use public money and 'need' regular 'bail-outs" for their greed and faulty methods to swallow our money and *energy*.

Banks loan out more than we can pay back. That is one of the root problems in life.

Banks giving more credit than people can pay back is cruel / criminal... and has to stop for real justice to grow.

I think Sleep Equity is about...

(...the word "equity" meaning; justice, impartiality and fairness.)

ALL difficult / impossible to measure things... (like list below)

-Having / keeping our own time

-Regular sleep to recover/repair/regenerate/refresh body

-Balance of living (not work and sleep only)

-Mental balances with other things in life that need attention or well-being (kids, community, other activities)

-Avoiding Passive Violence or Agression on our time

- Less Systematic Conformity

- Less Encroachment from hierarchy to squeeze people using Structural Stresses

(equity = justice, impartiality and fairness)

Thich Nhat Hanh says : "The Dharma is not a lecture. The Dharma in the Buddhist tradition is a kind of rain. Our consciousness should behave like the soil, the earth. We have to allow the Dharma talk to penetrate. According to the Buddha we have seeds of understanding, of awakening, of compassion, within ourselves. We don't need these seeds to be transmitted from the teacher. We already have all of them in the depth of our consciousness. We call it store consciousness, sometimes earth consciousness. Because these seeds are buried deep in the mind, in the soil of our consciousness, it is very hard for them to grow and manifest. Above there are many layers of suffering, confusion, prejudices and so on, and our intellect can never go deep enough. Our intellect very often contradicts our deepest nature and therefore to allow the intellect to rest and to open our earth store in order for the rain of the Dharma to penetrate is very important."

Mastodon logo I JUST REALISED is a sideways elephant NOT a speech bubble !?@O@

Boost if you didn't realised that either

And correct me if I'm wrong anyone
@Gargron !
(and ok to say both if wasn't originally both!)

Money is a mentality also...

so changing money doesn't always change things or explore new thoughts...

Mentality ropes in bad habits (unknowingly and knowingly)

so that's why people go for knowledge
Learning etc eventually aims to sort out fallacy, assumption, and the "why to do things the freeschool/freedom-loving" ways

It's just less bad exchange/ $lavery / l£ss abuse... And more mutuality / a join cause / acceptance for individuality etc

Emotions can help us engineer life.
By channeling emotions...

To not only be affected or triggered.
To use emotions and channel it.

So far it's been mostly 1 by 1 through myself.

Nothing much better to do but read posts?

The title is probably the rewarding part - the rest is perhaps new or overkill UNLESS your looking for specific spots of "AHA" optimisation or thinking different that might help you reform your own thoughts. It's natural to readers looking to collect gems from filtering or "ah this guy occasionally has genius"

Other Keywords this text could be:

competition, taxation
hindered overseeing and deliberate moderation, manipulation
gaming/cheating in their own system

OK START!...

When Capitalist-thinking people ( or "Capitalism" for this post ) see potential in something else good they immediately eat to capture them / monetise / add rules etc... which impacts things. For the modern day this makes it all less effective as the good-giving things (which isn't without horrible dilemmas itself and questions...) are lost the more efficient "Capitalism bevomes.
But I'd rather get on with the tree of life that allows the greasing of other wheels or deliberate surplus giving t ku other things than the holding back of healthier thinking or diversity just for money abd control that also ends up pricing people into starvation or even worse...finding new ways for debt and making it easy for people to dig debt further.

So let's say that I mean "Capitalism but with less conditions, rules etc", more for cooperation than profit etc... just as "a bit of grease" giving by banks / rich kids etc...

NOT:
● prostitution of things to that extent that you kill the human body as people run around for numbers losing their faculties while money degrades over time (as debt increases too).
● not pimping / using people and things leaving them empty / unrewarded /unfulfilled) and just moving on like an uncaring parasite.

Ok you get it ! :)

Important to mention that I think all work just becomes a hook to get money, market, power... *for someone else* and as a perpetual short term emptying of energy. The deliberate squeeze of threat to the loss of job (or shrinking market from efficiency and growing dunb population + lack of good job in anyway increasingly fragile / just-in-time markets)
Which = panic / hunger / no rent money Quite quickly from ok back to homeless.

------- ------- ------- ------- ------- -------
Promises, Promises...
------- ------- ------- ------- ------- -------
As time goes on we already see Capitalism avoiding promises (money as the promise to pay what it can't as there is more debt than money!!!) SO the bottom lines and minimums are false to an alarming start. Can't give back to people, and as we see banks and state simply cut people from what they pocket and "don't have money for.
If all things are exchanged or exchangeable into a false method (debt or negative-based accounting + cheating people) then you can be sure not to try use that too much (you can't cheat money and numbers, it's faster than you lol)

Injustice is Embedded in this way that it's more cold exchange than building of moral foundries. So what do want in the end... or is short term the way and then something...? Maybe nothing?

At the start it allseems ok/good with money... to add yourself to Capitalism in your name, body (maybe soul!) but as the idea takes off, then the same Capitalistic ways crashes the idea too as a kind of bell curve up and down... which for most businesses is actually crash within 1 or 2 years plus broken families with it I'd say
/===
___// \\
// || create/invest quick but dien goes idea and business with 1 or 2 years while Capitalism (bank/state) profits from that process.

Logically it seems JUST-ABOUT-EVERTHING is designed and then proportionate... so you never can reach state-level type of success yourself (not that you would want but if you were a good person profit-people wouldn't want this as it means letting values go back to people in processes). Systematically this is quite a fucked up mentality (it runs strong so quite hard to change) but bend the mentality and the curves can curve away I believe (I don't believe in breaking things (as tempting it feels) but blending away and respecting existing forces to take it down more like Judo does often with almost any opponent).

I would like a system where good / successful is integrated far more nicely... not how Capitalism will tries to use you or idea to exhaustion / obliteration / destruction / death or are least until you or idea runs out of extractionable worth which then ceases the meaning of all ideas shortly after as Capitalism shrugs looking away.

Capitalism's operators and mentality basically is designed so that it wouldn't let something operate outside of it's own hierarchy and power (won't let you save the world and cut what what you want as capital - loans are human decicion-based thinkind and therefore bias/political/financial-fascism). Taxation of "it" (what you offer to Capitalusm) and wanting a heavy cut is quite standard like bully letting you walk past while constantly skimming your possessions (direct and indirect taxes all add up to "A LOT".

Also on an ego level and people level the state has a posture more like "don't let them get too popular"... " "everyone us a threaten entity too financially"... "I WANT A BIGGER CUT!!" (To keep people lower basically).

Summary partially
Whatever is good gets put to Capitalism's use instead of moral or wider concepts potentials, and starts to be game over with short circles of progress for the originate concept which usually involves a mentality or mindset Capitalism holds back by putting all of life inside a Capitalist Container (or same structure) of which it can't get out of physically or as alternative concepts.

ANY life-loving or hobby style feature goes out the window (similar to industrialising things heavily degrades it all / loses meaning and mindset).

-------- -------- -------- -------
AN ODD EXAMPLE... (TOURISM)
-------- -------- -------- -------
A remote place nobody cares about is then invested in only when seen as profitable... only until it is a bit more popular and "suddenly" a whole industry can built around that place when nobody cared much but few travellers by dirt road years back... no gift shop, buses, no water, no info centre, no concrete places etc. Then the opposite if that list which starts eating at why people went there or its meaning (ancient, holy, geologically rare etc). And of course stupid people that pay to queue for hours just to get a photo.. mostly with other tourists in the photo.

Shame we can solve hunger in the same "sudden" way of interest (without further fucking things) and even avoiding the extractive money loops (bet nobody has said this!!) <---Sarcasm but worth remembering "extraction" like a digging out more than carefully sharing...

Preventing hunger probably means not monetising it and not spreading debt at the same time!

-------- -------- -------- --------
Another perspective:
-------- -------- -------- --------
-Good guys get targeted by Capitalism - and then used to exhaustion

-They will want to tax you according to your wealth as you get bigger and use you assets for the puposes of the "Crown" (or warlike entity protecting it's borders)

-More success= more competitive the state feels as a direct threat to itself (it is the head company and wants it to stay that way) or other sub-companies can feel the same (financially or otherwise you become a threat to them eating well/from market)

-If you're successful enough you will systematically or personally targeted by others for deserved AND undeserved reasons (the added jealousy/envy/green eye/etc on top).

-------- -------- -------- ---------
WHY I MENTION THIS
-------- -------- -------- ---------
All people and groups either work inside these dynamics or have an agenda already supported by state structure or company (a mini structure of state). So it's predetermined how effective they are and for who.

I don't want to poo-poo everything by seems no matter how good you are or honest it can and will work against you anyway for many reasons by design (over many centuries), even without being useful or important on the world "they thought of that too!" is probably a phrase to remember.

Not trying here to convince kids or adults not to try, but more to try with eyes wide open... usually the mind crafting being best option with like minded people before the finance / bank partnerships!

Some people don't get that these forces (of people, negative mathematics etc) often work against them as a system and individual dislike to your very existance to bother their program by mentioning any notion of respect, morality etc...

MORE REAL-LIFE EXAMPLES
You might work all your life in manipulation not knowing the boss would not want you or others to get promoted or win any higher position because you/they want to keep their job that way.
I also want to say "LIFE IS NOT THE FAIR GAME YOU PLAY" so while I don't mean trying to cheat the cheaters, I mean don't work too hard misleading yourself that you will get what you invest in (making money for others) and even if you got to the top it wouldn't feel very good or worthwhile how it's done.

People do end up forcing out people, beating them by making them look bad work harder for 0 pay), and even you might try fix a system they want to keep broken! Just so you know it's broken for many reasons keep their jobs their... as fragile as that seems...

So yeah keep those good guys in the wings but not up front always as they will change all that to really make it all better!!

(Perhaps this is written in a business book somewhere (!) but something similar related with humanities, anthropology, psychology etc about how it works regularly as a "wanted practical injustice")

If you actually see a title abiut this you could tell me about if you see it.

-------- -------- -------- -------
Who would want to keep injustice is the question, .right?
-------- -------- -------- -------
So workplaces (if clever) keep the #1 employee at #2 or probably #10 (10th position) to keep that person hitting hard and also not mess other stuff in the "good" (moralistic) way.
Promoting people risks changing things too much. A lifetime's work in just 1 particular way is best for the company and just carrots of "just maybe" one promotion... but still change is otherwise a risk to profit or threat to the boss's own job.

I've personally see higher tier people not voting the gifted and knowledgeable almost surely for this round after round if job position opening in same company. It was a call center in which the person wasn't hated by anyone, stats were almost top ( though how they measure stats I think is selective and manipulation/prejudice in itself) and even senior advisors would ask this lower staff about how the system works. Regular no win and also I think the upper group not fitting that geeky or non money orientated style. The group-think can lead to job even if you're crappie or even just there for a few months!

You also see it in boxing but it's much more obvious whete in lige its not the workplace kind of bias and manipulation can be hard to track or pin down). Judges in boxing / MMA etc just vote for the other boxer despite shockingly the other guy winning on everything in the game (often also when it's a boxer is from judges hometown where they can just score the game for them as win regardless!). "Oh wow that was a close match".

So overall yes BE HONEST but don't be naive ---> N:) There are other games being played at the same time.

And we / I need answers for that else people keep thinking we can fairly become champions of our work by purely grinding our bodies inside corporate walls. No no no! More than that us needed for Justice!
