Main topic of the Show: Income in a Shifting Economy
Last week, I joined a gaggle of other podcasters in the creation of a new show, called Unloose the Goose. We are focusing on solutions for big problems, talking about freedom and liberty, and other random things. But the intention is to help people who want it to navigate this changing world.
One fellow, Vin Armani, brought up that he thinks we are at the end of an age and we discussed the transition a bit.
Yes. You got it. Change. We talked about change.
As the weeks have passed and Portland Oregon - my home town - has erupted into a hotbed of people taking sides, people acting out, people being violent, and people refusing to talk outside of an us vs them world, there is more indications of a change in our culture incoming. And if we as a society allow it to be a violent revolution, we all know what follows right?
What follows is the opposite of freedom.
So how then, can we navigate the coming weeks, months and years? How can we stop this madness? How can we get back to a peaceful, relatively prosperous life?
Many people hear me ask this and they don't think they have had a prosperous life.
But think about it. Most of us have rarely felt real hunger - if we have at all. Few of us have been homeless.
16 years ago, I was dating a man who asked me "Do you think we are living in a golden age?" and I thought and thought and reflected and came to the conclusion that yes. We are living in a golden age. And it is shifting. And where we end up, no one knows.
I read a quote today that stuck with me in USA Today. It was about a second stimulus check:
"I have terrible anxiety because of the unknown"...this is the crux of the national panic right now, isn't it?
People didn't realize that life has been as unpredictable our whole lives as it is this very moment. We just thought we were going a certain way, often did, and now this has shown us that the world can and will change on a dime. And we need to change with it or we get left behind.
So while we may be transitioning into a different kind of society, a different kind of economy, and a different kind of culture, we may even be heading into another dark age -- there is no way to really know. But we do know ONE THING. Change is constant. Each day has an unknown set of opportunities and challenges. So what do we do to navigate this changing thing?
Well, back in April, when we let the economy screech to a halt, people started getting scared. They had no income from their jobs. T
