A quotation from Le Guin, Ursula

Books aren’t just commodities; the profit motive is often in conflict with the aims of art. We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable — but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words.

Ursula K. Le Guin (1929-2018) American writer
Speech, accepting the National Book Foundation Medal (19 Nov 2014)

If #Oil prices go up, #fuel prices go up & commodity prices go up as both oil & oil-derived fuel are a component of all #commodities that are plastic or transported.

The typical response to #inflation is to increase #interest rates, which if done will result in increased #government #deficits, higher #taxes & combined with monetary inflation & #commodity price increases will force vast numbers of people into #privation.

These are #engineered geoeconomic conditions being used to deliberately #collapse economies as a pretext for a pan-Western, central #bank digital #currency, #biometric ID, #tracking, social credit system, ushered in via manufactured #consent, through a propagandized faux #Hegelian dialectic using applied #psychology.

This is #BuildBackBetter.
