Poverty is a policy choice.
Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few. - Robert Reich

Shot from inside of a cave looking out at the sea. It’s not framed super well because my adrenaline had just worn out after falling on some rocks on my kidney and messing up one of my arms. You had to swim to this beach as it is otherwise inaccessible. It was about 250 meters. Once I got there I realized just how injured I was so I took 3 quick shots and began my slow, one armed swim back home. Some times it’s a full contact sport. Oh, this is on Skopelos, Greece.

To look at people in capitalist society and conclude that human nature is egoism, is like looking at people in a factory where pollution is destroying their lungs and saying that it is human nature to cough.

I just reduced background noise, chopped the 14 minutes into 3 minute segments each compressed under 100 mb for bsky's limits, cropped and rotated a few degrees for easier viewing on here

Looking down on Cinnamon Cay Beach on St John USVI. Aqua waters meet a white beach and lush green growth. A small Cay or two rise from the water a short distance out. There’s an underwater trail of coral here being grown by scientists in a lab and then transplanted here. Hope for the coral. Top 10 beach I’ve ever been to for sure

Elaphonisi Beach on the island of Crete, Greece. Rated the #1 beach in the world on Trip Advisor 2025. Within 10 minutes of being there, I declared it the best beach I’ve ever been to (not knowing its ranking). This shallow section stretches for dozens of meters in both directions, separating the main island from a small islet. Famous for tiny pink shells which makes the surf pink- although people taking it has evidently diminished this cool aspect. Quote is from Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest #landscapes #beaches #Greece
