Indeed - similar to the Mexican Fisherman parable - crazy how many fall into the trap of working 50 weeks for 2 weeks of life.

Very true, Carl. I often think of those few tribes left in the Amazon Rainforest. They all get a home, have food and work. They don’t have corporate bosses telling them that if they work hard they can climb the greasy pole.

A system of smoke and mirrors has been created to offer people the slim chance that when they retire they can have the lifestyle those Amazonian people have throughout their lives. Forget the electronics and white goods. It’s family, shelter and food that counts.
