Families Living in Motels

May 6^th 2011
I watched a documentary titles Orange County: The families in motels. This was about families who are living in motels due to a lack of money, the main focus point of this documentary was the children of the families. The oldest child that they interviewed was about 16, there were many others in the age range of 7-11. They followed these children around in their daily lives to show how their lives are.

These children are in a terrible position to grow up in. They go to a state funded school where there is only one teacher for the grades 2, 3, and 4. Many of them are affected by the environment that they grow up in. Living in motels there is much violence, gang influence and crime influence that they grow up around. They thus then act in ways that they see. Many of them become violent, become aggressive and angry, and turn to violence. They interviewed a young kid around the age of 8 who said that when he grew up he wanted to own a mansion and have thousands of dollars and own every type of gun in the world, which from my point of view the only way to attain that is to become a crime god, and like any other fantasy in this world it most likely be cut short and this kid will most likely end up in jail when he is older. They interviewed another kid around the age of 8 who started to steal from other kids what he wanted such as Ipods, clothes, and other materialistic items. Both of these children confessed to doing this for attention since they do not get attention at home.

They live in crowded rooms in motels where some as much as a family of 5 is living in these rooms. Some kids have their clothes hanging up in the bathrooms, and most if not all sleep in the same living room. A child who was in a family of five was asked if he is happy and he said what do you mean by happy? No I am not happy it is crowded in here.

The situation that these children grow up in is disgusting. The schools are far from effective at teaching these children anything, the teacher was teaching them about drugs at an early age to try and curve their likeliness to move into drugs, but teaching them about drugs is simply not a solution as thus then they are educated about drugs and not something fucking useful like work or science or how to get the fuck out of the situation that they are in! The teacher was far unqualified for the job that she had as she has no idea what to do with these children and how to teach them about the world and life, she was following a pre-programmed curriculum that has no intention at helping these children practically, it is only there to try and curve the situation that they are in, which is not effective. These children are being programmed by their environment and not taught to get out of it but to `deal` with it, thus accepting that they are in that situation and implying that they will not be able to effectively get out of that situation.

Obviously if one have a look at this situation the limitor is the current accepted and allowed monetary system we have all implemented through our acceptance and allowance of this, thus we are all murderers. In this current system there is always haves and have nots that is the way of the capitalistic system. That is why we at desteni support an Equal Money System as we realize that this is an effective solution to the world’s `problems, when I say world I mean the human world/system.

In an Equal Money system, the parents of the family will thus then not have to work `dead-end` jobs to keep them in a motel, they will be provided everything that they need to live a dignified life, because looking at the situation that they are in ask yourself if their life is within the definition of dignity? The schools will not need to be limited by money, and the teacher will not be there teaching a pre-programmed curriculum, as someone who actually has the ability to TEACH children effectively will want to be a teacher and not only be there for money as `jobs` will not be the only access to money/support in an Equal Money System, the support will be unconditionally provided because we all fucking breathe!

Process of building houses now and then

The building process of houses within the current system is a disgusting process. My moms house has been recently been built as well as the entire street save a quarter of it. The ground is littered with excess wood and building materials. The quarter that has been built for a while has grass, the rest do not, and from looking at it the exact same process existed for those houses as did the houses that have no grass.


What they have planned to do it to put a layer of top soil over all of the shit that is left behind and then roll out grass over it, burying the all of the left over materials to escape taking responsibility for it and to escape time and money, as removing all of the left over materials will take time and thus not make the builders any money, builders meaning the company that is building, the actual builders will get paid for it but the company won’t allow the `time waste`, so they leave the waste to save time=money.

I have learnt that worms will live in fertile soil one that is rich in nutrients. The soil here is not going to support life it is not what is best for all. Worms will not be able to survive in the conditions we have thus made for them, they will only have about a foot or 2 deep of placed soil that is not amalgamated with the earth below. I have noticed that digging here there is no worms what so ever, yet at my fathers place, a place that is 130 years old, worms are absolutely everywhere, you dig at any spot on the yard and 9 times out of 10 there will be worms living in the soil.

The changes that has happened since then has been the useage of time. In the modern era we are all bound to time to get things done as quick as possible to make the most money possible, to always continue to the next project in the shortest amount of time, and if that means covering our shit then so be it. I was not living 130 years ago but one thing I can tell is that you can see the actual logs that were used to create the floors, so it was not about time it was more about the lasting of the house, and now all of the houses are put up incredibly fast to make profit out of the building and thus materials are used that are cheap quality, and the method to produce a house is cut and go basically. So the contrast of the areas is interesting and relating it to the era they were built within, there has obviously been a change in the quality of the housing and the purpose for housing. I doubt many of these houses will be in the shape that they are in now in 130 years from now, all is planned for the dollar within the now, never thinking about the affects in the time to come. The house at my fathers has stood the test of time, each winter and spring the house shifts, like some doors won’t close in spring that close in winter, yet it has stood the test of time, meaning that the workers actually put effort into creating a house that will last, and not something that they could make a quick dollar off of compared to todays world

In an Equal Money System will housing exist like this? Absolutely not, as the housing that is being built today is not whatt is best for all. It is all in the name of profit, thus in an EMS profit will not exist so the only other choice would to build something that lasts as without the consideration of money we thus consider the affects of our actions. To build something as fast as possible to make the most amount of money possible, obviously there are going to be corners cut, and thus the maintenance of these building are going to be extensive, so within an EMS buildings will be made to last so that the work that needs to be constantly done on a building in minimum and thus lasting many generation so that we stop sprawl.

I am one vote for an Equal Money System! http://equalmoney.org
