I am here, alive and well, in New York City.
Residing, working, and exploring. A place full of culture. Full of humanity. Full of uniqueness. Full of love.
Sadly though, entangled within this special place, is an unhealthy fixation on capitalist wealth.
Hu-money-ty. When millions of people swarm around the dollar bill, while forgetting about equality and fundamental well-being.
Minimum wage jobs have people suffering while CEOs gain wealth.
Both homelessness and luxury apartment buildings are on the rise.
The wealthiest companies are prioritizing the sale over those on the frontlines actually doing the sale.
This fault is not caused by any one, but rather caused by several collective systems that are in place.
It is not to say that there are no charitable systems doing exceptional work. It is to say, rather, that there is not enough exceptional work being done and way too much greedy work being done.
A species that is motivated to work for its own greed is a species that will fail.
Can alliances form to fund solutions?
If so, I hope to play my part.
More soon. Stay tuned.
