Free
Imagine yourself alone, stranded on a tropical isle. It’s not exactly utopia but you scope the place out, find a source of fresh water, build a nice grass shack and spend your afternoons fishing for dinner.
Do you stop and think if anybody will be upset that you’re eating their fish or that you used their grass and built on their land without permission?
Does it ever cross your mind how much the owner might demand in ‘restitution’ for ‘disturbing’ their little island oasis?
It would occur to most of you at one point or another, that’s how deeply ingrained the notion of ownership runs in our society.
The resources of nature are free. To put a finer point on it Mother Nature doesn’t have a billing department. There are no checkout lines in the forest and absolutely nobody can produce a bill of sale or a deed signed by Mother N.
Think about that for a minute. The guys that own gold mines and oil wells get theirs for free! If you argue that labor isn’t free guess again. Labor is a profit center they use to make even more money!
Everyone’s labor (including their own) gets marked up and the cost is passed on to the consumer!
You are the victim of a con. Until you wake up and realize you are being conned they will continue to pauperize you.
Not only are you forced to do all the heavy lifting, but you must also pay for every stupid thing there is, you get nothing for free! While they kickback and rake in the bucks, courtesy of Mother Nature and the sweat of YOUR brow!
Mother Nature doesn’t have a cash register and labor is a ‘profit center’ that more than pays for itself…think about it.
Isn’t capitalism wonderful?
Thanks for letting me inside your head,
