I receive some participation as a present as many shops and businesses purchase one of the tickets and give away small amounts to their customers.

This is actually kind of cool, isn't it?

I am not expecting to win of course.

We are starting to witness a change of power between some of the players (governments, big banking, consumers), and I hope 2024 brings more of that power change.

I am hoping that people are feeling enough financial pain, coupled with enough financial knowledge, that they can realize there is a better way than the governance structures we currently use.
