Thank you for sharing this @lyndsaybowes.
Our thoughts are with your friend.
Sadly, as I was reading this I was thinking this is the US too. Government everywhere lies and abuses its people. Some are more overt than others but the end result of starvation and slavery. Promises are made by politicians to appease the people...only for the people to learn the politicians only enriched themselves.
Basic needs are not met anywhere by the population. Free electricity? Tesla developed that 100 years ago only to have JP Morgan, king bankster destroy it. 100 years later, countries are in third world status because their economies lack the power to develop..literally.
Fortunately, and this coincides with an article I just wrote, abundance is on the way. No longer are the masses going to be held down. In the end, cryptocurrencies and the tokenized world means decentralization is taking over. Trillions in assets will be decentralized in the next 10 years...this is going to wipe out a lot of the power structure that is in place.
The worlds most powerful computer network is being unleashed and there is nothing that the establishment can do about it.
