Hi,
I feel for you and that being said, I feel for all that lack the means to get what they need.
Despite many things, I believe that life is a gift, a wonder and that the greatest gift is to be able to be of service, to help where help is needed.
I think that our current economy fails you, but I believe in, and am looking for, a fix. Also because it is essential for our #polycrisis.
Currently I am exploring #timebank s.

Ik zou op een sociale partij stemmen, maar belangrijker denk ik dat we 'de politiek' niet nodig hebben om een verschil te maken voor onze samenleving, met name door de locale en interlocale economie en daarmee sociale cohesie te verbeteren met behulp van tijdbanken en soortgelijke initiatieven.

International Timebanking Day ✨
Mon, Mar 23 | Online
https://www.timebanks.org/event-details/international-timebanking-day

This International Timebanking Day, now in our 8th year, we celebrate the people and places redefining what timebanking can be. From emerging networks taking root around the world to long‑established timebanks reaching meaningful milestones to the coalitions and movements amplifying timebanking’s
There are thousands of #timebank s worldwide. hOurworld and TimeBanks USA are major networks in the United States. Spice (now Tempo) has been influential in the UK. See also https://www.timebanks.org/timebank-map-and-directory.
Me myself I recently joined a Dutch one https://timebank.cc and may explore https://ruilkringdenbosch.nl, a similar itiative.
Imho the weak point of the current regime is the economy and it is something I think we can fix by starting or joining initiatives for alternative economies with #timebank s and alikes.
