What if?

Rent or Own
I’ve had the thought many times. Should I try and get into home ownership where I live or not. It’s pricey here in the SF Bay Area. Do I try and buy now or just rent until industrial collapse? Every day I see headlines and signs that things are not looking up. Or, at least to say the present course of economic policy, and economy based on power and death is about played out. I do think that things are ripe for a change. Instead of more of the inequity that we have now, what if we could build an economy that was honest about the real cost of things involved.
What if we changed priorities to things that could build and sustain life?
What enough of us started asking the question: What do you want for yourself, your family, your community, your world and all things in the next week, month, year, 5 years and so on? ...
and started shifting our priorities to reflect that and an economic system that was honest?

What if?
And why not?
Why not now?

The headlines are telling me that....

The world is waiting.
