If Agustin Carstens chared his meal with impoverished, i believe that amount of food would be suffice to feed at least 50 people a day.. go Agustin, make a good example for other bankers

Never should've traveled the globe, imposing Western monetary systems on peoples who didn't want them, then turning around and getting them into debt. They were fine living off of land w/o property taxes, states, debt, banks or processed foods & pollution. They didn't need polluting cars or representative value (money).

We don't need money, we need only to eat (grow/hunt for food). Civilization is slavery to money. It robs us of our resourcefulness & makes us dependent on a system.
