It's time for "Kind" Capitalism


With regard to #Prediction2053, and the topic of wealth, Capitalism and profit are often "demonized" in the African American community, and particularly the Christian community.

I grew up hearing "money is the root of all evil", or "if you go into business, start a non-profit", which to me, is a contradiction in terms! As a result we seem more inclined to get on the non-profit treadmill, rather than outright entrepreneurialism.

However, it is profit, which is not allowed with a non-profit, that drives the majority of investment in actual construction of brick and mortar spaces that can benefit the common good.
Blame Capitalism's "bad rap" on the profiteering-driven regime that has dominated the economy since 1619, that's right, since the first enslaved person become an unethical source of profit. That's the "system" we're still immersed in to this day, that profiteers from the financial unpreparedness and physical or mental bondage of American citizens and residents within its borders.
So, you see, there is a difference between well-meaning profit, and malevolent profiteering. Now that we know, we can't unknow.

If we are going to prevent #Prediction2053 and neutralize Project2025, we need to become capitalists, the right kind, and the current "system" needs to transform, reform, or retire.

No nation can profiteer from the bondage of it's citizens and thrive. It may survive, but the whole will not thrive and it's parts will remain forever contentious and divided. Sound familiar?

I stumbled upon this article, a good one, that explains the different kinds of capitalism. Include it in required reading for our young people. They need to become the new capitalists, for better futures.
BTW, Century 5-10-10-75™ practices "kind capitalism"😁😎 Yes, I came up with that, to describe profit-driven enterprise that derives benefit, revenue, and sustainable growth from helping patrons and partners become preparedness-strong, financially, strategically, tactically, wholistically, spiritually. That is the SOLUTION, particularly for African American culture, in this century: A preparedness-strong economy and industry.

And regarding Christianity and Profit, I'm no scholar, but here are some scriptures regarding profit and capitalism that appear to indicate that it is the mis-use and abuse of profit and the LOVE of money that lead to downfall.

Scriptures about money and profit - courtesy of Bible Hub

  • Proverbs 13:11: "Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.”
  • Proverbs 14:23: "In all toil there is profit, but mere talk tends only to poverty.”
  • 1 Timothy 6:17-19: "Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;"
  • Matthew 6:19-21: "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:"
  • Luke 6:38: "Give, and you will receive."

  Trust the process..    International Space Station Interior  Titan Submersible Interior  In the future men and women will colonize earth’s upper atmosphere , and from there return to the Moon, and many more years from now, travel to Mars. Yes, that’s what awaits our descendants! It’s already been proven with the International Space Station that continuous habitation beyond terrestrial earth is possible. Men and women will eventually inhabit the oceans at various depths. Why? There’s an abundance of accessible resources to sustain human life in the sea…under the right conditions. Whether in space or the ocean, new frontiers of human habitation will only be survivable through constant self-preparedness and willingness to comply with the supremacy of physical laws. Last week, a tragedy occurred that attracted world attention. The Titan Submersible, owned by OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, was destroyed durin...

May is Senior/Elderly “Preparedness Buddy” month.

May is Senior/Elderly “Preparedness Buddy” month. Truth be told, many of us have traditionally perceived the Senior/Elderly demographic as being less productive, and less able-bodied after entering “elderly” status.   Yet * recent studies show  that , Seniors overall, are among the most lively , continually productive, and “preparedness-strong” adults among us! Baby Boomers have actually benefited from better health habits in their formative years: Less processed food, more outdoor activity exposure, more 1 on 1 social interaction. These formative years exposures have provided long-term benefits as we proceed into the 55+ category. Society benefits in recognizing the enduring value of our elders: ·           They’re a source of wit, wisdom, and common sense; much needed in today’s society. ·           Our  most elderly seniors  have overcome adversity, and found ways to rev...

March is Women of Preparedness Month at PerennialNC!

March   is Women of Preparedness Month at PerennialNC!    We celebrate the unique strengths of icons, past & present who emulate Christian faith, preparedness, resilience, and grace, amidst an at-risk world. They were & are preparedness-driven, against the odds,  to make life better for others. It takes faith, fearlessness, and self-preparedness, to take a stand as a woman, in the past, to the present day!  There are so many women that represent these attributes, who don’t “make the news” or get an award.  We honor them all! "Self-preparedness" has been a significant attribute for women since Biblical times.  As written in Proverbs 31: 15 - 30,  a husband counted a wife's entrepreneurialism and self-motivation, on behalf of her household, as a blessing.  Proverbs 31: 15-30  She gets up while it is still night;      she provides food for her family      and portions for her female servants. ...
