Where is the future?
Where time is
is where you are
and you are time
my breathe
in my heart
and mind
today,
in the past
in the future
It is here
Now

Now (a #poem)

What makes one a parasite; asking for a dime or demanding a billion?
US Senator John Fetterman made a point (click) that Republicans dislike very much. Which means he raised an excellent topic: If people living on food stamps have to do something in return for government support, why don't large companies have to do something to earn their millions in bail out money?
In other words: why do poor people have to follow rules that don't apply to fossil fuel companies like ExxonMobile (click), Tesla, Amazon...?
Specifically Fetterman named Sillicon Valley Bank (click). Basically the bank's executives gambled with other people's money and when they lost, demanded that taxpayers would bail them out. So they had nothing to lose personally. Not ever their high paid jobs. Unsurprisingly the bank executives, nor Republicans were eager to reply to Fetterman's questions.

It seems a wordwide common practice: ask for a dime and you're seen as a homeless drunk, a parasite of society; demand a billion and you're decent capitalist.
Do you think everyone should work for money they receive from the government (a.k.a. the tax payer) or only people who don't have a private jet?

Our own future (a circle #poem)
We write our own future.
Sometimes a line gets erased,
a line we walk.
Some lines are missed
and some are mistaken.
But they're all just lines,
lines we walk
and lines we miss.
But that's okay because
we write our own future.
