This month a bunch of "trom" people visited us and we had such a wonderful time together.

We had an Amber party looking through the microscopes at 40 million years old creatures...

Something most people in this world probably consider as boring and "lame". But if you understand the mind-blowing reality we live in, then you would understand why an amber party is a super fun and wonderful party :).

We also looked at the Moon through the telescope...

And we enjoyed the nature around, we had interesting discussions and a lot of fun.

I always hated to meet with "friends" because that usually meant lets get drunk or talk about boring shit, or brag about the stuff you have and all that. Or just eat and do nothing. Hated it. But now with these people I LOVE it. It feels natural and sane, and so much fun. And relaxing!

These are wonderful people who care about this world and have very interesting minds. And there are so many more like them. And I want to "harness" them all haha. We will organize a yearly event for sure and do more than just have a fun meetup. We will have fun but also do some important things for TROM and in general for pushing ahead with TROM-like ideas.

I am so happy that I have these creatures as my friends :)

Only when people have access to their basic needs trade-free (via a Universal Basic Income or other means) we can talk about "some choices" they may have. Right now you cannot refuse to be abused at your workplace (working extra hours, work in terrible conditions, being poorly paid, etc.) when you depend with your life on that job.

Remove most "social" programs that are only meant for a selected few and are infected with paperwork, and provide people with a guaranteed Basic Income. Make the healthcare, transport, and a few other basic services free to keep them from derailing towards a profit path. And then we can talk about justice, climate change, environment, rights, and so forth.

We need some fertile soil in order to grow something else.

There is no way we can fix this society by putting more rules and laws. Bosses will abuse the ones they employ, businesses will take the shortest path to profit regardless of consequences, and overall people will live a boring and meaningless life doing nothing more than consume and waste because they have no time and incentive for anything else.

The first step we need to do is to provide people with their basic needs as trade-free. This should be on any activist's agenda!

TROM will focus more and more on this first step from now on. As much as possible. Scream, do, get engaged, collaborate with others. We need to fix people in order to fix the problems they create.
