Powerful Times Ahead if We Are Ready, Then Let's Get Started!

 

Powerful Times Ahead
if We Are Ready, Then Let's Get Started!

 

 
By: Jim Homyak
Spring 2026

 
Today we can dive into a paragraph I have read -- to see what it could possibly become if all things were possible:

UnrulyStatesofAffairs.com is a vibrant online platform committed to the exploration and analysis of the intricate social, political, spiritual and economic challenges facing contemporary society. Then a deep dive into various solutions-oriented ideas for self-sufficiency. 
 
Although, I'm not "at this as much" (I'm affraid, due to being a disabled retiree) as most all of my featured re-posters have been, I think I've gotten much of the costs covered to get the new toolsets that we want. 

That little paragraph you shared already has a spark — it hints at a mission, a voice, and a kind of restless curiosity. If we imagine all things possible, we can stretch it into several different futures, each one amplifying a different part of what UnrulyStatesofAffairs.com could become.

Below is a structured exploration of what this seed could grow into. Now if there is no one who will pick up the phone and dial, this opportunity to become a millionaire with me, will fade away into distant memories. 

 

⭐ Concise Takeaway

It is my hope that our paragraph can grow into a mission statement + personal narrative + funding vision that positions UnrulyStatesofAffairs.com as a thoughtful, solutions‑oriented platform with a Homyak Family founder who is honest about limitations yet committed to impact.

 

🌐 1. A Polished, Expanded Version of the lead Paragraph

Here’s a refined version that keeps our voice but elevates the clarity and purpose:

UnrulyStatesofAffairs.com is a vibrant online platform dedicated to exploring the intricate social, political, spiritual and economic challenges shaping contemporary society — and to diving deeply into solutions‑oriented ideas for self‑sufficiency, resilience, and community empowerment.

While I’m not able to contribute as consistently as I once hoped, due to being a disabled retiree, the platform continues to grow through the powerful work of the creators I feature. Many of them receive sponsorships and support for their contributions, and my hope is that with enough help to cover basic costs and invest in essential new tools, this project can evolve into the fully realized resource I know it can be.

 

🔥 2. A More Aspirational, “If All Things Were Possible” Version

Imagine the site at its most expansive and idealistic:

UnrulyStatesofAffairs.com is a living laboratory for understanding — and reimagining — the world we inhabit. It examines the tangled social, political, spiritual and economic forces shaping our lives, then pushes further into practical, solutions‑driven ideas for self‑sufficiency and personal empowerment. Though my own capacity is limited as a disabled retiree, the platform thrives through a network of brilliant creators whose work I curate and amplify. With the right support to cover foundational costs and invest in new tools, UnrulyStatesofAffairs.com could grow into a fully funded, collaborative hub for critical thought, creative problem‑solving, and real‑world resilience. We're going to lead in to great possibilities and visions.

 

🧭 3. A Version That Emphasizes The Personal Journey

UnrulyStatesofAffairs.com began as my attempt to make sense of the complex social, political, and economic issues shaping our world — and to explore practical paths toward greater self‑sufficiency. As a disabled retiree, I can’t always contribute as actively as I’d like, but the platform has become a home for voices I admire and trust. Their work inspires me, and I hope that with enough support to cover basic expenses and invest in better tools, I can continue building this space into something meaningful for everyone who visits.

 

🧩 4. A Hybrid “Brand + Personal” Version

UnrulyStatesofAffairs.com is a dynamic platform dedicated to examining the complex social, political, and economic realities of our time — and to exploring practical, solutions‑focused approaches to self‑sufficiency. While my own contributions ebb and flow due to the realities of being a disabled retiree, the site continues to grow through the powerful work of the creators I feature. With support to cover essential costs and invest in new tools, this project can expand into a sustainable, community‑driven resource for insight, resilience, and meaningful change.

This version balances professionalism with authenticity.

 

🎯 What direction feels closest to what everyone wants this to become

Do we want the tone to be:

  • Professional and mission‑driven

  • Personal and vulnerable

  • Bold and visionary

  • A blend of all three

  • or, leave me alone and go away

Can we all agree the direction we want? Then Jim can craft the next revision that feels like we all feel. Something that fits the future we can imagine for UnrulyStatesofAffairs.com and our re-branding between here and the many townships to the east of here. 

 

🌱 Core Takeaway

Our lead paragraphs could evolve into a fully realized manifesto, a brand identity statement, a platform vision, or even a personal narrative about our relationships within the project. Each direction strengthens a different dimension of what you’re trying to build.

 

🌐 1. A Fully Formed Mission Statement

The standing goal is to always define the platform’s purpose with clarity and ambition:

UnrulyStatesofAffairs.com is a dynamic hub for critical inquiry, dedicated to unpacking the tangled social, political, and economic forces shaping modern life in the midst of spiritual battles. It thrives on curiosity, dissent, and the belief that understanding complexity is the first step toward meaningful change that is spirit-led.

This version leans into authority, clarity, spirituality and intellectual energy.

 

🔥 2. A Bold, Aspirational Manifesto

If you want something that feels like a rallying cry:

We refuse to accept tidy narratives in a world built on contradictions. UnrulyStatesofAffairs.com exists to challenge assumptions, amplify overlooked perspectives, and illuminate the messy truths that shape our collective future.

This version positions the site as a place for disruption and deep thought for those who handle the truth well.

 

🧭 3. A Vision for What the Platform Could Become

If you want to imagine the site at its most expansive:

  • A multimedia publication featuring essays, interviews, and investigative pieces

  • A community-driven forum for debate and collaborative analysis

  • A digital library of curated reposts, commentary, and annotated resources

  • A hub for long-form thought, short-form reaction, and experimental formats

  • A space where your voice evolves alongside the world you’re observing

This direction treats your paragraph as the seed of a larger ecosystem.

 

✍️ 4. A Personal Reflection on Your Role

Your original line — “Although, I'm not at this as much, I'm afraid…” — hints at a tension between your ambition and your current level of engagement. That can become a powerful narrative element:

UnrulyStatesofAffairs.com began as a place for my own restless observations, but over time it has grown into a living archive of ideas — some mine, many borrowed, all resonant. Even when I’m not writing as much as I’d like, the platform continues to evolve, shaped by the conversations and content that move me.

This version acknowledges the reality without diminishing the vision.

 

🧩 5. A Hybrid Version — Polished, Honest, and Expansive

If you want something that blends mission, aspiration, and personal truth:

UnrulyStatesofAffairs.com is a vibrant platform dedicated to exploring the tangled social, political, and economic realities of our time. While much of its content currently takes the form of curated reposts, the heart of the project remains the same: a commitment to curiosity, critical thinking, and the belief that even small acts of reflection can illuminate the world in unexpected ways.

This keeps your voice intact while elevating the language.

 

🎯 What direction feels closest to what you want this project to become?

If you tell me the tone you want — bold, academic, personal, rebellious, poetic, or something else — I can help you shape this into a signature statement for the site.

 

🎯 How about a version that is open to tailor however makes the most sense . . .

 Oh, this is a fun turn — we’re imagining now! 
 
UnrulyStatesofAffairs.com not just as a platform, but as a place, a vibe, a retreat with personality. Jim thinks we could establish the brand "Malmo Bay Diner" to give life a whole new flavor: warm, slightly mischievous, a little luxurious, and full of character. Let’s shape our paragraph into something that feels like a destination — part intellectual haven, part speakeasy hideaway, part creative sanctuary, part excellent food. Let's start this as a new business that sits right at the lakeside.

Here’s a version that blends our mission with the spirit of a private retreat.

 

🌴 Neighborhood Ideas

A warm, immersive, slightly cinematic take on our original ideas

UnrulyStatesofAffairs.com is the digital wing of Jimmy's hangout — a place where big ideas meet easy chairs, ocean breezes, and late‑night conversations. Here, we explore the tangled social, political, and economic challenges shaping our world, and then wander deeper into solutions‑oriented topics and better ideas for digital self‑sufficiency, resilience, and living well in uncertain times.

While I can’t always be “at it” as much as I’d like — life as a disabled retiree has its own rhythms — the retreat thrives through the brilliant creators whose work I feature. They’re the ones filling the private theater with documentaries worth debating, and the speakeasy with voices worth hearing.

With a little help to cover the basics and invest in the tools we need, this brand could grow into a fully supported haven for curiosity, conversation, and community — a place where ideas flow as freely as the drinks behind the hidden door.

 

🌊 What this version does

  • Turns our platform into a place — warm, inviting, atmospheric

  • Keeps our mission intact but wraps it in a narrative

  • Honors our personal reality without diminishing our role

  • Adds charm and personality through the theater and speakeasy imagery

  • Frames funding as part of building a shared retreat, not a burden

 

🎨 Make it more whimsical, more luxurious, more rebellious, or more grounded, or more biblical or definitely led by the spirit 

We can tune the tone in any direction — tropical, noir, rustic, academic, mystical, or even tongue‑in‑cheek. Just tell me the vibe this town wants for our brands to radiate. How about some new signage over the storefront . . . so it is more obvious it's a great place to meet and eat. How about a new menu layout and design, and how about some new names for the signature main dishes?

    THE ABUNDANCE PARADIGM: WHY AI FORCES A RETHINKING OF MONEY ITSELF — PART 1

    By Ellen Brown on May 11, 2026

    A Universal Basic Income (UBI) has long been proposed as a way to cushion the blow of jobs lost to automation. Under that model, everyone receives a modest monthly payment – enough to cover basic needs and prevent extreme poverty. 

    But Elon Musk has gone further. On April 16, he posted on X:

    Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI.

    Rather than a subsistence stipend, Universal High Income (UHI) would be a level of income allowing ordinary people to live well in a world where machines do most of the work. Musk has also said that AI and robotics are the only things that can solve the massive U.S. debt crisis. 

    That sounds promising, but where will the government get the money to pay the UHI? Critics say any government that tried it would go bankrupt. There are also other concerns, which will be addressed in Part 2 of this article. Here we will look at the financial underpinnings: why UHI is even thinkable, why AI forces a reexamination of how money enters the economy, why the current system cannot scale to meet what is coming, and the implicit transition needed to meet that challenge.

    Why the Current Money System Cannot Scale

    The national debt of the U.S. government just topped $39 trillion. China’s is $18.7 trillion. Japan’s is $8.6 trillion. Those of the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain are each in the multi-trillion-dollar range. Collective global debt now stands at $353 trillion, 305% of the world’s annual economic output. So even if, hypothetically, everything produced in the world in a year were applied toward liquidating the debt, it still would not be enough to pay it all off. 

    In fact the debt can never be repaid, because of the way money currently enters the system. Nearly all of the money supply today is created by banks when they make loans. Banks do not lend their existing capital. The loan itself creates the money. The bank adds the loan amount to the asset side of its balance sheet and balances that sum with the same amount on the liability side. When the borrower withdraws or transfers the funds, either the bank takes them from its reserves in “vault cash” or the Federal Reserve debits the bank’s digital reserve account at the central bank. But the lending bank typically has funds coming into its reserve account at about the same rate as they are going out, so its reserves are continually replenished. Thus a very small reserve account can support a much larger money creation engine. For decades before the Fed discontinued the reserve requirement in 2020, it hovered at around 10%.

    The chief problem with this debt-based system is the interest, which the bank does not create in its original loan. For a typical long-term loan, interest can double the total tab or more. Where is the money to come from to pay this added liability? Across the system as a whole, it must either come from more borrowing or from existing funds. In the case of governments, that means issuing interest-bearing bonds or tapping taxes and other revenues. The interest on the debt compounds, meaning the government is paying interest on interest. This makes the debt increase exponentially, until it is mathematically unsustainable. Then bankruptcies occur, of banks or even whole governments. Booms turn into busts, and the cycle begins again.

    Today, interest on the federal debt is the second largest budget line item after Social Security, exceeding $1 trillion. Meanwhile, workers are losing jobs to AI/robotics, shrinking the income tax base. The system is clearly unsustainable.

    How to Raise Demand to Scale to the Upcoming Supply

    A Universal High Income would replenish the shrinking tax base by replacing the lost wages of unemployed workers. But where will the money come from to pay the UHI? The only sustainable solution is for the government to issue it interest-free. That does not mean through the Federal Reserve, which creates money in the same way banks do: it buys federal interest-bearing securities with accounting entries. The Fed collects the interest, which it is supposed to return to the Treasury after deducting its costs. But since 2008, its costs include paying interest on the reserves of its participating banks, which consumes its profits. (See my earlier article here.) 

    The only interest-free, debt-free solution that will actually increase the money supply sufficiently to match the projected productivity of AI/robotics is for the money to be issued directly by the Treasury.

    This is not a radical new idea. It is authorized in the U.S. Constitution, which provides in Article 1, Sec. 8, that “The Congress shall have Power To … coin Money [and] regulate the Value thereof .…” Abraham Lincoln used government-issued “Greenbacks” to avoid a crippling debt to British-backed bankers. Debt-free government-issued money was also the funding mechanism by which the American colonists succeeded in creating a thriving economy and liberating themselves from the oppressive yoke of the British Empire.

    In his 1729 pamphlet “A Modest Inquiry into the Nature and Necessity of a Paper-Currency,” Benjamin Franklin argued that a lack of currency was a tax on industrious farmers and producers, and that a reliable, locally issued paper currency was the “oil” for the gears of trade. The “Nature and Necessity” of this currency was to facilitate the movement of goods between neighbors. Franklin observed that the British strategy of keeping the colonies short of cash was a method of economic suppression. By forcing the colonies to use gold and silver, which were constantly drained back to London to pay for imports, the Crown kept the colonies in a state of permanent debt and low productivity. When the money supply matched the productive capacity of the people, universal prosperity resulted without inflation. 

    This logic evolved into the “American System of Political Economy” championed by Henry Carey, economic advisor to Abraham Lincoln. He wrote:

    Two systems are before the world… One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other in increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. … One is the English system; the other we may be proud to call the American system, for it is the only one ever devised the tendency of which was that of elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world.

    In the context of the 21st century, the “oil” that best lowers the friction of trade is debt-free government-issued money similar to Lincoln’s Greenbacks and colonial scrip. Rather than implementing a radical financial innovation, we would be returning to our roots.

    Inflation or Deflation?

    The chief objection to the colonies’ paper “scrip” was that they tended to over-print, so that “demand” (money) outstripped supply. Too much money chasing too few goods produced price inflation. But in the 21st century, we will soon have the opposite problem: too little money chasing too many goods. Machines don’t need food, clothing, shelter, transportation, medical treatment or other services. So who will buy those goods and services? 

    Money needs to be issued to human consumers, and not just to a few wealthy human consumers serving as debt brokers thriving on interest. To create sufficient demand for the voluminous output of AI/robotics, it needs to go to the whole national population, evenly distributed. Not only can UHI work in that sort of abundant supply without producing price inflation; it is actually essential to prevent deflation.

    In a conversation on X, Musk wrote:

    In a normal economy, issuing more money simply increases the dollar price of the existing output of goods & services, meaning people do NOT get more stuff. If AI/robotics massively increase goods & services output, then you actually MUST issue dollars to people or there will be massive disinflation. 

    As paraphrased on Yahoo Finance (reposted from Benzinga), Musk wrote that handing out more dollars becomes a problem only when the economy’s supply of goods and services fails to surge alongside the money supply. His claim is that AI and robotics could lift production so sharply that the bigger risk would be falling prices, not rising ones.

    But aren’t falling prices a good thing? In this case, no. Prices would be falling due to a lack of demand, meaning producers can’t find customers for their products. They wind up laying off workers and eventually going bankrupt. When spread across the whole economy, the result is a deflationary spiral: prices fall, businesses lose revenue, and the economy contracts, not because production is inadequate but because purchasing power is insufficient. The result is recession or depression. In the Great Depression of the 1930s, food was rotting in the fields while people were starving, because they were out of work and had no money to spend. 

    Job cuts from AI are already happening. According to the same Benzinga article:

    Evidence of near-term strain is showing up in corporate announcements: employers disclosed more than 27,000 job cuts linked to AI in the first quarter of 2026, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas. The outplacement firm said that figure was up 40% from the same period a year earlier. 

    Robert Reich reports that wages are around two-thirds of the typical corporation’s total cost, and that in the first four months of 2026, big U.S. corporations cut over 128,000 jobs. 

    How Soon Will All This Happen?

    Another Benzinga article, reposted on Yahoo Finance on March 16, detailed Musk’s projected time frame:

    Speaking remotely to the Abundance Summit last week, Musk told XPRIZE founder Peter Diamandis that the global economy is on the verge of an explosion so massive it defies historical precedent.

    “I’d say the economy is 10 times its current size in 10 years,” Musk said, before quickly clarifying that the growth could be even more explosive. “Greater than,” he added, framing the projected shift in economic output as a “fairly comfortable prediction.” …

    Ray Kurzweil, author of The Singularity Is Near, sees AI reaching Artificial General Intelligence (human-level intelligence across virtually all domains) by 2029, and full transformative abundance by 2045.

    Other experts question these time projections, but a radical transformation of traditional manufacturing and trade is likely to happen sometime in the reasonably near future. The question is, will the money system transition soon enough to rescue all the laid-off workers from homelessness and famine?

    The Sovereign Wealth Fund Alternative

    There is another model for distributing the gains of automation, one that can be phased in gradually as the AI workforce expands. It comes from Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI. In an ironic twist, Altman and Musk, who jointly founded OpenAI in 2015, are now locked in a high-profile legal battle over whether Altman diverted Musk’s $44 million investment to transform what was conceived as a nonprofit “for the benefit of humanity” into a highly lucrative for-profit enterprise.

    That dispute aside, Altman’s alternative model for sharing AI-generated wealth is a national sovereign wealth fund seeded by the profits of AI and robotics. His proposed American Equity Fund would take public stakes in the companies and technologies driving automation, capture a portion of the resulting productivity gains, and distribute them as universal dividends. The Fund would not replace a Universal High Income but would complement it.

    This approach has several advantages. It ties payments directly to real output, scales automatically with productivity, and can be introduced gradually, avoiding the shock of issuing large payments before the supply side has fully expanded. It would resemble the Alaska Permanent Fund, which distributes oil revenues to residents, except that here the resource would be the most powerful general-purpose technology since electricity.

    Conclusion: A New Monetary Logic for a New Productive Era

    For centuries, money has been issued as a claim against the future productivity of human labor, repaid from the income that labor generates. The logic of this debt-based system collapses when machines become the primary producers of goods and services. Then the limiting factor becomes purchasing power — the ability of human beings to access the abundance their own technologies create. That requires a monetary architecture that expands with output rather than debt, and distributes income not through wages alone but through mechanisms tied to the productive capacity of the whole system.

    Universal High Income and a sovereign wealth fund are two ways of doing that. One ensures a stable floor of demand; the other ensures that the public shares in the gains of automation. Both would be grounded in real production. But for the public to have access to those gains, the money supply needs to expand in proportion to the expanding pool of goods and services. This can be done by restoring the innovation our forefathers baked into the Constitution: debt-free money issued by the government itself.

    How to fund a UHI without triggering inflation or driving the government into bankruptcy is the first objection critics raise, but there are others. They argue that people would stop working or stop learning, that society would collapse into idleness or chaos, that life would lose meaning without jobs, that the government would have the power to control how people spend their money.  Will a UHI ring in the promised utopia or lock us into a state-controlled digital prison? Part 2 of this article will address those concerns.

    Many a time I often think about moving to Russia, so sick and tired of living here in the West.

    Over there things get done and child molesters etc don't just get away with a slapped wrist, free to again prey on the innocent.

    Those promoting society's moral decay will now have to answer for their actions also.

    Way to go Mr Putin.
