I AM NOT A WASTE
We are all closer to being without shelter, a stable food supply, electricity, reliable internet, and incarcerated than we are to being part of the billionaire class. Imbued within our lives, from early education, we are taught that our value is reflected in the amount of wealth we can accrue. Now with corporate hedge funds purchasing 76% of available real estate in 2022, the Federal minimum having not risen anywhere near the rate of inflation, and The Social Security trustees board admitting that there will be no pension for folks in the years after 2040, and legislation in multiple states making homelessness illegal, our system has successfully propagated us as a desperate workforce, who will work under the threat of incarceration until the day we die. I AM NOT A WASTE asserts that our inherent value is not monetary, but instead lies simply within our ability to experience life. This book was made entirely from foraged, recycled, and gifted materials that were accumulated without monetary exchange.
