Hmm... $5 million and we bought ourselves a rewrite of 1984

It seems to be a propagandist version of the UN's Agenda 21.

The youth bring about the “Great Transition” in the 2040s, establishing a “new normal” where “connectivity, community, and environmental sustainability pervade policy and cultural decisions.”

The protagonist of the story is Rosa, a “community organizer” for a United Nations youth group “Badgers for Our Future,” who presides over the only holiday celebrated in the community, Earth Day.

“It has become custom for Rosa, the unofficial community matriarch, to give a blessing before the Earth Day meal (although not everyone in the community is religious, they say secular blessings before important community meals to express gratitude for what the Earth provided them),” the story says.

The community shares economic resources, as well as goods and services, such as “vehicles, appliances, equipment, meals, and expertise.” Material wealth is criticized, and the community lives by the slogan “rich in time; sufficient in things.”

For what it's worth, this is by all accounts how TPTB envision the future. A sprawling, Earth-worshipping proletariat living at a slightly-above-subsistence level, and ruled by a small and massively wealthy elite.

Say hello to Agenda 21. There's also strict population control in the official documents, although I doubt their propaganda would mention this fact.

Why does our government waste so much money? I feel like they steal my money and do the stupidist things with it.

Its a big pile of money and they aren't allowed to skim any of it off for themselves...so, instead, they spend it frivolously, throwing it around in all directions, because then some of it might just actually come back their way.
