A person in #Lidl #supermarket today picked through the grapes on sale, ate some, and then moved on without even taking the bag(s) he picked through for purchase. Another sign, however small, that 1/3 of our population has no sense of #community, mutual #respect or common #welfare. 🙄

What is it for? Asking big questions about society and its institutions - Transforming Society George Miller discusses the What Is It For? book series, inspired by Gauguin’s existential questions, arguing that in an age of global “polycrisis,” critically examining the purpose of institutions can help us imagine better alternatives, even if it cannot solve problems outright.

Yes. The politicians and associates will create a fake middleman "companies" and awarded their "companies" #government #funding #welfare #contracts to build/design/program or "whatever." Then, go find and hire real companies to actually do the work for less funding, and then pocket the difference.
