Everything Owns Us

We own nothing. Everything owns us. Think about it. What is the real cost of living? Do we ever buy something just once? How much does your car truly cost? We never stop paying for things.We're the only species on Earth that pays to live here. I saw a picture on Facebook with a caption that read "Who did the government buy the Earth from? Then why do we pay the government to live here?" What if we paid for nothing? What if everything we needed was given to us? What if we traded goods and services for other goods and services instead of money for goods and labor for money? The world's economy runs on consuming. What if we all stopped consuming? Would the world collapse? Would we be forced to help each other survive? What if we all just STOPPED? Don't set your alarm. Don't wake up for work. Goods and services don't get delivered. We can't buy or consume what isn't there so we must grow/produce/create what we need. Everyone becomes equal.

What if we taught for free and learned whatever we wanted? Can a society like that be created?

Back to the true cost of things. Here's the purchase price of your car, plus insurance and registration and DEQ and maintenance and repair and interest.

Purchase Price: $$$$
Insurance: $
Registration: $
DEQ: $
Maintenance: $$
Repair: $$$
Loan Interest: $
Gas: $

True cost: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ (multiplied by ?)

The 20k you financed to buy a car is really costing you exponentially more. In order to pay for this ever growing cost we have to work more. So in reality, you don't own that car. That car owns you.

Remove what we think we own and all of the sudden our financial burden decreases which means we don't need to work as much and those things no longer own us.
