Kanda & Maat

The ongoing economic crises that people are facing around the world seems to go back to resources, that are plentiful, being hoarded and controlled by hands that have little to no regard for the people, flora and fauna, and the natural world at large. The similarities in the crises of electricity cuts can be seen from Ghana, Nigeria, and South Africa to Iraq and Bangladesh. Even “developed” countries are not immune to soaring prices and infrastructure failures that are often attributed to “poorer” countries. One issue I see is the lack of integrity and honesty when it comes to the finances. Transparency is used to hide more than it discloses allowing for mismanagement, corruption, and the playing of the blame game while allowing a few to profit off of the chaos. It will take a critical mass of people coming together and getting a handle on what is required to meet our needs. Reciprocity, restoration and sustainability must be cornerstones in our plans if we hope to solve the crises.
