Description
An image taken from a Jacuzzi overlooking Anishinaabewi-gichigami (Anishinaabe’s Sea also known as Lake Superior). Water held in a large enough container is called a body. Being in water can heighten awareness of the body, especially its weight, shape, buoyancy, and temperature. We are all beings with bodies composed primarily of water. Our bodies are not separate from (and in most cases dependent upon) the countless other bodies of water that surround us.
Liquidation
The term liquidation may also be to refer to the selling of poor-performing goods at a price lower than the cost to the business, or at a price lower than the business desires.1Investopedia Liquidity refers to the efficiency or ease with which an asset can be converted into ready cash. The most liquid asset of all is cash itself.2Investopedia A lamp, a Beanie Baby, a dresser, a TV stand. I paid a lot at Target for that laminate bedside table, but now it’s got to go, how much are you willing to pay? I don’t need the lamp, I don’t need the Beanie Baby, I don’t actually need the bedside table anymore either, I just need the money. Do you feel the liquidity? You’ve got to be able to rub it between your fingers, get the smell of it. You and me, we are businesses each of us. Never mind the surplus value stolen in your wages or taxes, there’s the money coming home to pay for the basics, and if you’re lucky, there’s the cream on top. You know what I mean? That’s the profit baby, but it’s getting harder to taste these days. Ok, so maybe I’m not an economist. What I do know is that if I’m a business, and you’re a business, and we’re both selling the same thing (our labor), we’re competing with one another. We are competitors. Your welfare is separate from my welfare. I don’t know what you’ve got going on with your welfare, but my welfare is concerned with paying down the debt to the bank that owns my home, paying for the food I need to eat, and paying every other expense that must be paid to live as a human on planet earth.
