Orrin Woodward
“Dollar bill: people spend their whole life seeking to earn it, but won't spend 10 minutes seeking to learn it.”
Orrin Woodward

Jasun Ether
“Our current monetary system is the reason why our planet is swimming in cheap, low-quality products, because businesses want to spend the least amount of money to create a product, which makes it low-quality, and businesses also make products that don’t last on purpose so they can make more money when the customer has to buy the same product again, and sometimes rebought an absurd amount of times. If money was taken out of the equation, only the people whose passion to make certain products would be making them, and they’d be the people who’d make the best products since it would be done out of passion instead of the want for money.”
Jasun Ether, The Beasts of Success
