televisions, eating out, maybe eating regularly, our homes, some privacy, a few more lives -> in other words, the tenuous illusion of safety we have built around ourselves. <-, only then will it stop. It is the mortgages on all that which is what gives them their wealth, and we just can't let go and trust each other.
When we do that we get the freedom to use our labor for ourselves. Scary, but no longer in servitude. Until then we just choose between plantations.
