“The System” is, in basic terms, how society goes about doing things.
But there are two aspects to that.
One is good (for example, good engineering means the bridge you drive over doesn’t fall down). As well, there are countless things we all do and celebrate. The author of this page likes barbecues and walks by the ocean. Christmas, twinkling lights, Christmas movies and getting together with family and friends are superb.
Then, there is “the other” system (System #2) which we call “The System.” It is more like a nasty neighbor or an ornery relative that you wish wouldn’t drop by. They are, of course, pure genius at arriving at the most inconvenient of times. One might think they read your mail (are they telepathic?) and can somehow sniff out what you are doing and when to drop by.
It’s the second one, “The System,” that we are most concerned about. As you might have imagined, it has limitations. It is a weak and broken System.

The System we are describing (the ornery one—System # 2) does things like:
The System is created by people.
It creates limitations.
It makes meaningful change more difficult than it needs to be.
>>
System Change is part of what these protestors are calling out for.
The problem with “The Systems’s Ways” list above (it could be much longer) and The System itself is that it has limitations. With a focus on money (a love of money and power), we end up with broken societies. Then we run into problems like:

If you are starting out (younger or just “starting over” for whatever reason), then The System is rarely your friend.
All of that is a problem.
What that means is that the only way to “make a go of it” is for those in need to come together, in Community, and build out what we (all) need for life. Things like Housing, Food and a decent life.
You might not be just starting out, but the machinery of The System (including stupid-crazy housing and food costs) is making life very difficult.
Set an example, in Community, to those who seek to create limitations. Let your healthy Community speak volumes.

We think Planet Earth is home. For now, anyway. We don’t get into new outposts on the moon, Mars or other galaxies.
This website, and our written content, is very much aware of “The System.” We seek to help provide solutions to the problems created by The System. Meanwhile …
Planet? Unknown.
Chance of rescue? Zero.
Navigation system? Toast.
Propulsion out of here? The parachute says it all.
Home? Sure doesn’t feel that way.
Doofus? Me for getting talked into this.
Smoke Break to Relieve Stress. It won’t work but what else can I do?
Pizza Joint Here? Now you’re getting on my nerves …

Are we against government or business? No, we’re not.
But we will speak up about dysfunctional and broken systems. We will also seek solutions amid any of our “rants” about The System. We subscribe to thinking that states, “If you aren’t part of the solution, you’re part of the problem!”
We’re happy campers when those in The System say, “That’s enough! I will change for the better!”
That’s great (assuming it’s true and real). Empty and fluff-filled words—without the actions of change—just annoy us.
