Unifying North-South Conversations: from the Economics of Happiness Conference
There’s a divergence between what was
and a system that focuses on wealth creation mostly for the speculators: those on computers far away. Depending on money for the poor’s lives in cities is monetized and can gamble for those.
Urban-Rural transition: I actually wrote a work for distinction at BU on this topic: http://eddiemill.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/coffee-incomes-san-jose.pdf
Colonized and made to grow … cotton, palm, etc instead of a diversified economy. There it is necessary to go and look back to early accounts from Anthropologists etc and look for the original culture …
How can we talk about development, even, other than development and environment?
healthy and diverse for them first
if they are already exporting and you bring the fair trade organic etc
not sustainable to bring them from subsistence to export.
progress measured within this international economic system. indicators of totally common sense.
not based on money, but based on ecological valuations? localizing is re-indiginization. How can we interact with them without hurting. I AM NOT WEALTH AND RESOURCES. a more decentralized structure is key. Diversity is key.
shouldn’t even use investors and “help” in the same sentence. But I want to help them. Don’t go to fix them. neo-colonialism. Don’t even be mislead by UN indicators, indicators of totally common sense.
owning property is root. Access to land and water, harvesting your rain. Was illegal in San Francisco until 2007.
“How can I re-indigenize myself?” ~Lexi
“Don’t exist. Live. Get out, explore. Thrive. Challenge authority. Challenge yourself. Evolve. Change forever. Become who you say you always will. Keep moving. Don’t stop. Start the revolution. Become a freedom fighter. Become a superhero. Just because everyone doesn’t know your name doesn’t mean you dont matter.
Are you happy? Have you ever been happy? What have you done today to matter? Did you exist or did you live? How did you thrive?
Become a chameleon-fit in anywhere. Be a rockstar-stand out everywhere. Do nothing, do everything. Forget everything, remember everyone. Care, don’t just pretend to. Listen to everyone. Love everyone and nothing at the same time. Its impossible to be everything,but you can’t stop trying to do it all.
All I know is that I have no idea where I am right now. I feel like I am in training for something, making progress with every step I take. I fear standing still. It is my greatest weakness.
I talk big, but often don’t follow through. That’s my biggest problem. I don’t even know what to think right now. It’s about time I start to take a jump. Fuck starting to take. Just jump-over everything. Leap.
It’s time to be aggressive. You’ve started to speak your mind, now keep going with it, but not with the intention of sparking controversy or picking a germane fight. Get your gloves on, it’s time for rebirth. There IS no room for the nice guys in the history books.
THIS IS THE START OF A REVOLUTION. THE REVOLUTION IS YOUR LIFE. THE GOAL IS IMMORTALITY. LET’S LIVE, BABY. LET’S FEEL ALIVE AT ALL TIMES. TAKE NO PRISONERS. HOLD NO SOUL UNACCOUNTABLE, ESPECIALLY NOT YOUR OWN. IF SOMETHING DOESN’T HAPPEN, IT’S YOUR FAULT.
Make this moment your reckoning. Your head has been held under water for too long and now it is time to rise up and take your first true breath. Do everything with exact calculation, nothing without meaning. Do not make careful your words, but make no excuses for what you say. Fuck em’ all. Set a goal for everyday and never be tired.”
― Brian Krans
From the Localization movement: the Economics of Happiness Conference.
More independent bookstores, retailers selling sustainably made clothing, over 200,000 new small farms, publicly owned cable and internet, many have moved their money out of major banks…
But local enterprise in the United States really still is a struggle. Corporations aided by government subsidies can take over these small businesses. The food system is a great example; the growth of small-scale systems that are sustainable contradict what is going on with the consolidation of the rest of the system. Wal-Mart captures 1 in four $ on food. The top four banks hold 37%, now they hold 53% of all assets. Amazon does not have to pay sales tax, their warehouses have been subsidized while local retailers have around 10% sales Tax. Amazon is going on a trajectory that will send it larger than Wal-Mart by the end of the decade.
The economic reasoning for large corporations are not true or straight lies. Bigger banks have higher fees — the optimal size of a bank for efficiency is about 4.5billion in assets, which is a small bank about 400 times smaller than BofA. Big banks aren’t very good at small business loans, because simply they don’t know the local areas. Small farms have the highest yield of a diverse product with the least environmental impact. Small pharmacists can provide the necessary and personal care while a recent survey found that Walgreens in the North West many pharmacists say conditions feel allow them to make easy mistakes. Bigger is not necessarily better.
These small businesses have better positive externalities: they can function within a democracy, create communities and nurture other businesses in the neighborhood, (much) less environmental impact, more conversation and mutual meeting each other… Kenneth said “Unite! You have nothing to lose but your slums, your poverty, and your military expendability.”
The Occupy Wall Street movement is not just demanding change. It is also transforming how we, the 99%, see ourselves.
