For those of you who don't understand where your paycheck comes from...
If you work for a big company, a company that has more than a few dozen employees, then your company is heavily involved in banking, advertising, marketing, business deals, etc...
They are part of a network of companies that rely on each other to provide goods and services at decent rates so that they can make a profit.
Now, as long as they "play nice" they can continue to participate at this level. However, if they start doing something disruptive, then their partners can undermine them in subtle ways.
When I was working in the startup industry, it became clear that the big players weren't buying up the small startups because they had an interesting product or technology. We thought maybe they were buying up the companies to get the talent, but at the prices they were paying that didn't make any sense.
When a company I worked for got bought, I realized what was happening: The investors in the startup were getting paid off. Money was flowing through the really big companies through these startups into the "angel investors" who were making a decent profit. Where did the big companies get their money? All of them are basically investment firms, and they make their money through bonds and stocks and other investment devices.
Do you really think Apple, which is sitting on trillions of dollars of capital, cares whether or not their iphones sell for a few million more or less profit each year? They could can their entire product line and just make money off of interest.
And where does that interest come from? A large part is from the governments. They give some money to the governments today, they get back that money with interest tomorrow, guaranteed by the taxpayers and national banks.
It's all a massive grift.
The rules they make you play by, not just the laws and the regulations, but the "culture" -- it's all set by the people who control budgets and the banks. The people who can create winners or losers in the so-called free economy.
If you're not on their team, you do not have access to the economy. You can't find customers. You can't find suppliers. You can't even borrow money to build a building.
As a specific example, if I create videos exposing the climate change hoax using scientific data from authoritative sources, they will ban me. Maybe they'll just demonetize the videos, but with the push of a button, no one will ever see my videos. They can do this, and they do do this, and it's not just on YouTube or Facebook. It's everywhere.
Once you understand that you don't really "own" anything when you are playing in their economy, you start to see how much control they really have and how you are lucky to even have a job, let alone afford a house.
The solution is really easy: Stop playing their game. Stop getting jobs at bigger companies. Don't bother hoping to make money investing in stocks or whatnot. Focus on building things that actually work and selling to people direct, without the internet or facebook. Find real customers and make real relationships that are impervious to their control.
Even when you try to do that, you'll become overwhelmed with the sense that you have to play ball so you can advertize on facebook or whatnot, but don't listen to that siren song. There are more than enough people you can find through word of mouth, so you need to rely on actual people talking to actual people, not fake personas talking to each other with bots on websites that are just part of the dead internet.
