What am I ranting about? BARTERING
In 2nd Grade, Mrs. Birch's class exchanged valuable possessions with our neighboring classes. We, of course, were learning the version of American colonization where the settlers pretended to share their goods with the Natives, in order to survive in the foreign land. Of course, we all know now that this was all pretend niceties used to serve the agenda of the colonizers, but the main theme stuck with me over the years:
As long as we have energy in the form of skills, labor, goods, etc, we can always trade our boring, old toys for new and undiscovered ones!
With all of this said and the well-known fact that I still am not working for cash, I have decided to start a network of individuals that are known amongst my trusted friends, local, and willing to share their goods and services.
