"The time is near at hand..."

since it has become fashionable to show off expensive watches i offer my 10 dollar walmart 

i was watching the "Washington Journal" on C-SPAN this morning and as usual i question the value of spending the expensive time to let people call in to voice their opinion about current events...many of these people are poorly informed and apparently in love with hearing their voices on the television...i have become sensitive to the various activities people engage in which seem to squander their time pr mine!...i heard a sentimental account given by a woman who spends her time painting red hearts on a wall somewhere to "commemorate" people who died from COVID...these people said that once the new hearts are painted the old ones need to be re-painted....sort of a never ending chore...and while i am on the subject of non-productive activities i always wonder how many people derive an income from their "investments" but never actually do any work other than manipulating financial resources...is this good? i worked for a labor service that was publicly traded and the managers all bought stock in the company but none of the laborers could afford to do so...this seems to be a problem which has a remedy.., several people come to mind who have the expertise to implement a change...mr musk, mr gates. zuckerberg etc... among several others...how did it come to pass that those persons who have vast financial resources have ignored the plight of those at the bottom of the economic spectrum...oversight?...callousness...viciousness...whatever it is eventually these under paid people will bring about social disruption....as usual... according to my reading metal coinage was introduced about the same time as the emergence of the first philosophers in the early 6th century BCE...so it may be time to re-invent money wouldn't you say...

i heard Ms Beyonce's song called "FREEDOM" i think...very thrilling...had me fist pumping!

"The time is near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own...the fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have therefore. to resolve to conquer or die."  George Washington (General Orders July 2 1776)
