[quote=scaredyclassic][quote=CA renter][quote=scaredyclassic]care and such is important, but without money, the family is done. it’s over. it’s kind of sad, unromantic, seems harsh, but really, money is what it’s all about. not imputed income. like, actual money. the quality thereof, it’s nice. it’s extra.
but money. yes, money. that’s what makes a family go. or anyone, really. it’s a giant hungry machine that needs money thrown into it.
my dad told me this and i didnt beleive him but i now see it is true.[/quote]
And it’s every bit as true that without caretakers, the family is done.
And money is an artificial construct, though I would agree that it makes life a bit easier. Throughout history, many people around the world have lived without this same concept of money. A medium of exchange can exist without the bureaucracy and institutions that have grown up around it. The way it works now, those who control money flows (and it’s not the people who work) control everything.[/quote]
we can contract out caretaking but not moneymaking[/quote]
Sure we can. A “gold digger” does exactly that. A transaction is a transaction.
