It turns out that building a humongous casino in a small city next to a mid-sized river, nowhere near a big city, the ocean, the desert, or good weather, excludes you from the “destination” designation. This means not many people want to come to lose their money in your oversized sucker palace.
Clearly, we were overly optimistic with our revenue projections. While we averaged twenty-two bajillion dollars per month, we just couldn’t move the needle to our target of thirty-two wadzillion per month. The forty-two flabillion we’ve extracted from this community in five years (even with a pandemic) just isn’t satisfying our stockholders. They’re complaining that they’re not making enough in stock buybacks to purchase a second yacht, private jet, or Supreme Court justice.
It looks like even though we told everyone there’d be three thousand jobs for the locals, we’ve only managed to hire less than half that amount. Who knew blackjack dealers wanted decently funded schools for their kids?

Though it’s easy to lose sight of, with our language and culture and smartphones, Homo sapiens is an animal species that exists within natural ecosystems. All our activities, including our economic activities, take place within and depend upon these ecosystems. This is the starting point for the trophic theory of money (TTOM).
“Trophic” refers to the flow of nutrition and energy. In the economy of nature,

Former president Donald Trump often finds himself on the defensive against accusations of racism. He regularly denies the charges, distorting his record and resorting to his “Black friends” defense, while attempting to throw the allegations back at liberals. However, he never explains why he is the favorite son of the one group in society about whose racial bigotry there can be no debate: avowed racists.

Or is their blind ambition to share a ticket with him... Read more

It has been a year and a half since workers at the Amazon warehouse in Coventry shook the retail giant with the company’s first-ever formal strike in British history. From that time, they have become used to seeing the company’s anti-union material displayed in the workplace. But all of this only foreshadowed the scale of […]
Independents once lived only in prairies and deserts in the United States. Today, they thrive almost anywhere there are ranches, farms, or ultimate Frisbee courses. Sometimes, they even live among people. It may seem charming when you spot one sitting on the fence, but don’t forget that Independents can siphon off your electoral resources, without which you could get run-offs, ultimately leading to devastating soul erosion.
Although their territory now extends all the way from Rhode Island to Burning Man, Independents tend to be elusive. You might catch a glimpse of one lurking around the shadowy edges of a party, but almost nothing entices them, making them difficult to capture. They don’t like big movements. However, experts say it’s crucial to try—in the least invasive way possible—to register them, no matter how much they prefer not to be put in a box. The preservation of their homeland just may depend on it.
