Hi how has this all took off, that's what id'e like yo know, is it self will run riot all side's,
I agree with the first one but not the second or third also how do you hoard power I don't know of any way of storing electricity and how does hoarding money make you rot we were all told to save money for when we retire are we meant to spend it all as we earn it and then depend on the state to keep us I accept that people who were born before the 70's were told that we pay National insurance so we can have a decent pension and a decent national health service by the time I retired I had been paying National insurance for 50 years I started at age 15 unlike nowadays where people expect to stay in school until they are at least 18 and above if they go on to university.
The power I think this quote is talking about is control over other people. Social power. The piece of your story you share here speaks to the manipulation of people by those who have hoarded social power. Minorities have a great deal of experience with the injustice of the misuse of social power. The elderly often experience hardship due to this same power that very few hold and very many suffer under. In the US citizens have money taken from their paychecks all their working life. After retirement the government returns those funds to the person based on how much went in and how long the person paid into the fund. But years ago people who have hoarded social power as well as money decided to spend the people’s money on something else and now the fund is bankrupt. It will eventually leave retired people destitute. This nation is rotting. The money hoarders have rotted causing them to choose to spoil the lives of others.
True words. He sounds as if he has first hand experience!
perhaps... there is nothing in his wiki bio that indicates any specific experience. though he did serve the elderly and terminally ill for some period.
It would seem so. It certainly doesn’t seem to be helpful or healthy.
