three types of organizations are permitted to issue international-agent status - first nation tribe - church - state. First nations are who gave the corporations and settelors permision to peaceful travels- this is their land you know, while they hold alodial title of deed; we may only maintain a registered title to deed. If it wasnt for the debt disposed to protect first nation tribes and indigenous from genocide-- there would be no federal courts.

There is a lot of truth in "beware the river 5ft deep on average because the 6ft man can still drown" - but what's really needed here is "average London Renter Wages" vs Average London Rents. Still - there's no way a huge swathe of the populace would agree with these stats (they are fact, so you don't get to disagree, but that doesn't put so many people off these days on either political side). The harder left are keener on sorting wealth inequality (mostly cluelessly wandering around, being envious, dripping poison etc.) - rather than income inequality, but income is the absolute key measure in the rental market for sure. We could look at "disposable income" but thanks to the recent cuts, as from today, even with the vile thresholds, most London tenants are now paying 28% income tax instead of 32% and that's a big help.

I second that motion. I had a call today with an organization that prioritized the ability to provide benefits to their employees at no cost and… wait for it! And also realize significant payroll tax savings. They are not 100% sure at this very moment what they will do with the savings but they do have plans to expand and having the support and flexibility of reduced payroll and benefits they can offer to existing and new employees is one of many pivotal pins connecting their plans to expand.

One reason I love Star Trek is it's one of the few franchises that shows a glimpse of an optimistic (rather than dystopian) future. In it, most humans pursue self-actualization because they've learned to use technology to fill all their other needs. Money has no purpose. Celebrity is largely irrelevant. Fancy things aren't desirable like today. You join Starfleet because it's fulfilling. You run a vineyard because it's fulfilling. You study science because it's fulfilling. Is society a perfect utopia in Star Trek? No. But it gives us a glimpse of what we could collectively become if more of us pursued self-actualization (and found ways to meet our "lower" needs to free ourselves up to pursue fulfillment).

Question: TIPS are based on service, right? Does this mean we get 25% better service? Tips are after the fact, not something added on before you are served. Just wondering if the establishment is doing this for their staff or for themselves?

In today's interconnected world, the influence of media cannot be overstated. Famous words, "He who controls the media controls the mind," resonate deeply in our society. This statement underscores a profound truth: the media holds the key to shaping public opinion, beliefs, and even societal norms. **Shaping Public Opinion** Media platforms, whether traditional or digital, play a crucial role in forming and disseminating information. The way news is presented, the stories that are highlighted, and the tone used can significantly impact how people perceive events and issues. For instance, during political campaigns, media coverage can sway public opinion toward certain candidates based on how they are portrayed. **Creating Cultural Narratives** Moreover, media shapes cultural narratives that define our collective identity. Through films, television shows, and literature, media influences how we view ourselves and others. Hollywood movies, for instance, often depict certain cultures or historical events in specific ways, influencing global perceptions and reinforcing stereotypes. **The American Perception** In global media, America is often portrayed as a spectacle—a circus devoid of self-awareness. While this portrayal may resonate with some, many Americans recognize the complexities and challenges within their society. The dominance of sensationalized news cycles and reality TV culture can obscure the nuanced realities of American life, leading to misconceptions both domestically and abroad. **Consumer Culture and Advertising** The rise of consumerism is intricately tied to media influence. Advertising inundates us with messages designed to shape our desires and behaviors. Instead of promoting national parks or outdoor adventures, the media often bombards us with repetitive ads for consumer goods, reinforcing a cycle of materialism and consumption. **Critical Thinking and Media Literacy** Given the power of media to influence minds and consumer behavior, cultivating critical thinking and media literacy is more crucial than ever. By questioning sources, seeking diverse perspectives, and understanding media biases, individuals can become more discerning consumers of information and less susceptible to manipulation. This is one of the reasons why the government wants to ban TikTok so badly: it shows the perspective of the people, not the government. **Conclusion** In conclusion, while media is a powerful tool for education, enlightenment, and entertainment, its influence can also be wielded in ways that shape narratives, control minds, and perpetuate consumer culture. As consumers of media, it is essential to be aware of its power and to approach information with a critical eye and not the mind of a sheep...

The notions of slow success building character and fast success building ego have some validity, it's essential to acknowledge that individual responses to success can vary greatly. Ultimately, how individuals handle success—regardless of its speed—depends on their values, mindset, and self-awareness.
