BOTH HOUSES OF COMMERCE
This morning the host of C-Span, who seems to use all of her faculties to maintain a forum of Free Speech and fairness, seemed to express truth rather than FACT as she reported that Zalensky would address “both Houses of Commerce” instead of using the state-approved label of “both Houses of Congress”.
So to measure the effects of war on people through the lens of “the economy” seems to be the “false-flag of capitalistic hierarchical Establishment that uses war as the method of control during their biopic view of life as seen through greed and privilege. When “the economy” is the goal as imagined in a Pyramid Scheme, we watch oligarch vs. oligarch and using both natural resources and human resources as their ammunition and victim. The life-threatening effects of viewing life on Earth and the meaning of life as monetary accumulation, war seems inevitable. The reason seems to be that money is associated with corruption, and when said money buys power and privilege, laws are passed that undermine the general public of the Earth to promote wealth accumulation according to principles of competition.
We need a different lifestyle. It is obvious that infinite growth using finite resources is inane. Let’s act accordingly.
Many politicians have expressed their vision of “running government like a business”, as seems to be Putin. When said business possesses nuclear arms, the allure is real to use those business practices on your competition. This is a reason some people are uncomfortable with fascism and Nazis.

One remembers viewing news from Ed Schultz first on MSNBC and then on RT. He was an informative journalist. This may be a problem in neo-con USA — https://twitter.com/LeeCamp/status/1503566628730159105?cn=ZmxleGlibGVfcmVjcw%3D%3D&refsrc=email –Twitter just labeled the account of a long dead American newsman who had a hit show at MSNBC – Ed Schultz – “Russian state media.” I’m not kidding. It’s time for everyone to realize just how insane neo-McCarthyism & toxic-nationalism are.–end of leecamp info–Having accessed many media sources, one can state hearing more anti-Russian views on RT than one has heard anti-Democratic-Party views on MSNBC. Probably because Russia is so evil (sarcasm).
https://countercurrents.org/2022/03/ukraine-update-war-is-hurting-poor-countries-warns-un-chief/ –The United Nations chief warned Monday that the war in Ukraine is holding “a sword of Damocles” over the global economy, especially poor developing countries that face skyrocketing food, fuel and fertilizer prices and are now seeing their breadbasket “being bombed.”Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told reporters that “Russia and Ukraine represent more than half of the world’s supply of sunflower oil and about 30 percent of the world’s wheat” and that “grain prices have already exceeded those at the start of the Arab Spring and the food riots of 2007-2008.”–end of countercurrents info–
As oligarchs play politicians like puppets while using natural resources and human resources like their personal property, many local-community members are using intrinsic liberty to forge a life of freedom, equity, and sanity. Slow Money is one such concept—-https://beetcoin.org/?utm_source=Friends+of+Slow+Money&utm_campaign=e96e2facc9-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_02_16_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_e9ca84a3ec-e96e2facc9-81187573&goal=0_e9ca84a3ec-e96e2facc9-81187573&mc_cid=e96e2facc9&mc_eid=a6bfff80b0 –Beetcoin funds local non-profit groups that make 0% loans to small organic farms and local food businesses. As opposed to crowdfunding platforms that host individual transactions, this is a new kind of funding system—with emphasis on the word system. Here’s how it works.–end of beetcoin info–
Are we watching the playing-out of childhood habits in the need for ever-bigger toys for the boys and girls? Is it simply more fun for our politicians to so-called play house in a manner that impresses each other rather than works for the general good? Do we care? — https://www.treehugger.com/governments-should-subsidize-ebikes-not-cars-5222100?utm_campaign=treehugger&utm_medium=email&utm_source=cn_nl&utm_content=27026768&utm_term= –One would think that if your worry is people needing money for groceries, childcare, and rent, then the subsidies should go to everyone—not just the owners of cars. Or, in a time when much of Europe is desperately looking for alternative sources of gas and oil, it would not make sense to encourage people to keep driving as much as they did, which is the effect these tax cuts would have.–end of treehugger info–
