My late starting mornings aside, my first thing check of the news today revealed yet another depressing story, our money is dropping in value. Great. Another knife into the side of struggling Canadians. My first thought is to run to the bank and pull all my savings, as little or none as that may be at the moment, and hide it in the mattress. But because of todays technology, my bills come direct deposit out of my account. So, like many other Canadians, I am over the financial barrel. I have no choice but to allow my poor few hundred dollar savings be in control of the people who have sickening amounts of money. A 10,000 loss to someone who has trillions doesn’t mean shit. But to me? 10,000 would change my life forever from the downward struggle that I’ve been fighting, with millions of other Canadians, just to get by. Money has been a deciding factor in who controls the system. I’ve never had money, or powerful friends, so I am destined to dream and drudge. Dream of success, even just to be able to pay my bills doing something I love, art, but drudge to a low, shit paying job designed to keep me right there. Making piss ass wages so some dick with a million in the bank sucks bail-out money from my taxes. Money fucked up the whole world and let too many idiots control the system. We can change that but, they gave us some shiny new devices to distract us in the 90s, meanwhile the powers that control the wealth get away with stealing our future more and more everyday. Goddamned swine. —Maybe not

Nah, it’s not the money that ruined the world. Money is an inanimate object. It does not think, it does not feel. It was greedy people that ruined the world’s finances. Instead of focusing on inanimate objects, focus more on people.
The dollar being low doesn’t really do shit to poor regular people like me and you OP. Keeping or taking your Canadian money out of the bank doesn’t make it any more, or less valuable.
Once you grow older child, you’ll understand that your bitch makes no sense.

Way of the world since we left the trees and then the caves We can not all be the King or Queen or that ilk There always needs to be more serfs than bosses to run the show After all look at Downton Abbey it took a lot of below stairs grunts to keep the fewer upstairs folks chugging along. Brandy and a good cigar after dinner – or a rich lifestyle – were not a human right for all then, and still are not.
Thank the Conservatives for that one, Sport. Instead of investing in new technology, the Cons decided to divest in what we already had, and spent our resources subsidizing the dying oil industry, silencing our scientists, arguing with environmentalists and denying climate change. By now, with a little investment, we could have been a green superpower like Germany, but no, not for us. We like subsidizing an unsustainable, oil economy which has made us an economic joke!!!
