Make me one with everything.

Yes it does. It's a succinct way of chastising a person iterating the obvious...
The only ones who benefit from the conflation of money and credit are the issuers of credit with no money.

In early 1992, I returned to Sweden after my first travel in the Middle and Far East for 7 months, after having been laid off from my job as a production planner within the ABB concern. Swedens economy at that point was being crushed by the New World Order, and for the first time since the thirties unemployment levels where up to double digits (whereas during most of the 80's it was below 2-3%. There were no new jobs to be found, even though I had a degree in mechanical engineering and marketing... I came back from Thailand in the middle of March, having spent all my money on the trip, everything was incredibly grey and sunless, and as I landed I made the resolution to leave as soon as I possibly could. I was urged by my socialist mother to go down to the local (un)employment center to sign up for benefits. There I was informed, that to get benefits I had to sign up for this employment project re unemployed office workers, called office workers pool, and that I should speak to the manager of said pool, before joining. So I go there and listen to this idiots 45 minute monologue, on 1) How excellent manager he is 2) How excellent and competent his group of long term unemployed office workers is and 3) How I may probably not have the right competence to join his excellent group of long term unemployed office workers. Never did he even ask what competence I had. This pompous ass just made my blood boil of anger. When he finished speaking, and asked if I had any questions. I just stood up and left, without saying a word to the asshole... I swore to myself never return there again...
Soon thereafter, probably within the week. I had set up this sandwich business, where I bought bread (small baguettes, and buns) delivered from a small local bakery, which delivered the bread to my apartment (which I had rented out while travelling) early in the morning (about 6 o'clock), I cut the bread, buttered them and put on cheese/ham, meatballs, shrimp or tuna filling, and lettuce, by 8.30 I had made somewhere between 50-100 sandwiches, which I went around to local companies, and sold them for a profit of around $1-1.5 each, by noon I had sold out, or if I had a few left I ate them myself. My only marketing was to photocopy a price list of my different sandwiches, and go around to the managers and ask permission to sell at their premises, and asking them if they could put up the price list on their notice boards... Most saw it as a good thing and had no objections to it at all. I put the sandwiches wrapped in cellophane in bicycle baskets, and went around to the different offices by bike. By Middle of June 1992, I had saved up $5000 and went on my second travel, the money lasted me 11 months, fortunately I managed to change my Swedish Kronas into US dollars, before Soros crushed the Swedish krona in autumn 1992. Otherwise I would have had a 20-25% haircut.
Then I financed a third and a fourth trip the same way until summer of 1995, never payed a dime in tax. However the economy was really bad in 1993, so I didn't earn that much, so I ended up working as a chef and dishwasher in a small bar in Tel Aviv...
Think outside the box, what I did, didn't require any education or starting capital, apart from $100 to buy the first ingredients...

Get caught pulling that unlicensed, unregulated crap here and they'll toss your a$$ in jail.
Oh, I guess that qualifies for a "DUH".....

ITA. I hope venting on here has helped Buddha. I know a lot of people in similar circumstances. I hope you find a way to get out of this, and stick it to whoever is taking advantage of you.
I agree with the bolded text; not only that but am more and more convinced that we're living in a hologram-like world which the more we fight the more real it appears and the worse things get.*For some metaphysical inspiration I suggest checking out Stuart Wilde. One of my favorite books by Stuart Wilde is The Trick to Money is Having Some (it's all about one's mindset, if one sees one's self as always broke one will always be broke - the perception of reality is more important than reality itself, see my sig)
I recommend reading the free ebook "Butterflies are Free to Fly: A New and Radical Approach to Spiritual Evolution" (the Synopsis and Introduction is a good place to start) and the author's five-part video series:
Holographic Universe Workshops

I don't want to kick a guy when he's down, and I apologize in advance if my post comes across that way.
The way I see it, the Jew plan is total control. Socialism is their plan A. It gives them the best chance at control. Capitalism is plan B. They realize that a lot of people will reject socialism so they promote capitalism as the "freedom" alternative, which we all know it isn't.
Now you have been exploited by facism posing as capitalism posing as freedom and you turn toward socialism as a better alternative. Can't you see that you are putting yourself right where they want you?
I'm not saying forget what you lost.
I suppose there's a purpose in pain.
What we make of ourselves has a cost,
and it's paid every time we take hold of the reins.

You're granted pardon in the court of Natural Law.
Don't leave my ham out too long unrefrigerated, please.
I have an admission to make, one time I had sold out, but I had a few of yesterday's breads left, so I asked the last customer a hairdressing saloon if they wanted any sandwiches, and they wanted a couple, so I went home and made them with yesterday's bread (or maybe it was two days old), and sold them. Next day they asked me if i had made it with old bread. I lied and said that the bakery may have delivered old bread. They never bought from me again. And I deserved it!
At another point I was trying to save money, by putting less ham in the sandwiches, and it took me a long time to rebuild my sales.
I didn't try any more tricks after that.
Small crimes sure, but customers on a free market does have the means of punishing providers of substandard quality products. I was greedy, and I paid a high price for it in loss of earnings...
I thought you liked cottage cheese, on your bagels?
