    Agreed. My sister belonged to a quilting circle that was very "high end" and each piece was auctioned, or "raffled" off for a local Hospice. They lost members of that circle, and it was so sad for them all around. The craft and money lost on many levels, from those who weaved, vendors, and lastly the Benevolent fund at the Hospice. Just not enough people to keep it going. Sending you Positive blessings, and hoping all crafters can pass their skills on to future generations.

    These stories just reinforce to me how important it is to be more selective about what I buy and to buy for life, not for right now. Not only does doing that support support skills and crafting it also reduces the amount of waste and the amount of production.

So many great things being made in this video the only bad thing is manybarent given the avenue to make enough money to actually afford most of these things its fine to charge that money cause of the process and which work is needed for the product. But countries and governments horde money and give very little to its people and citizens.

    Stone Crab Claw harvest doesn't work as well in practice. It's very uncommon to harvest a crab a 2nd time. Which is why most of the footage shows the crabs are shown with both claws on them. The reason why some claws are smaller than others is simply because 1 claw grows larger as the dominant claw, IT'S NOT a regenerated claw. If those crabbers truly cared about the sustainability of their product, they would have used a device to remove claws without risking the joint from being damaged. Snapping off the claw by hand would never guarantee the crab doesn't bleed out. They only hear on paper how the job works, but they clearly never seem to care about how to ensure their harvest is sustainable.

    That's just the point of our system... We are living in a world, where a few rich families can rule the world, by buying corrupt politicians who will do anything to stop real politicians, with true visions, from climbing up the ranks, till they would have real power, because if they would be able to climb that high, they would realize what a shit show is going on all over the world.. And these ruling rich families have installed an exclusive economy, together with the lower rich families, where all these handcrafted products are getting sold for prices higher than anyone of us could ever afford, while they bought the products from highly skilled but poor people, in countries without any help from the law. We, the luxury slaves are another level of slaves. We can profit from the system, because the poorest of the world will craft our cheap goods. Without them, the money the rich people. Are giving to us for our work, wouldn't last very long... We wouldn't be able to afford anything without these poorest of all economy slaves. So they are stuffing us with iPhones and oder useless crap, so that we spend all our life's working for them, just to spend the hard earned money for the products they are giving to us.. All these things are creating a hell of a spiral, where all the money will flow back to the rich ones and every now and then someone from us will make it to the upper ranks. This mechanism is just there to keep us calm and let us think, that anyone cna make it, as long as we work hard and give our best, what's pure bullshit. If everybody on the planet would give his best all day and go ot9 collage, making just perfect scores, getting super good titles and do anything, to do everything not just good, but perfect... In the. End, that would change nothing. There aren't enough well paid jobs for everybody and so the double doc in medicine and psychology would have to work for Starbucks and seep vodfe tho those, who had enough luck to get one of the rare jobs that where made for their expertise. Also there isn't enough money, to make anyone happy. Every dollar that is laying on the bank accounts of the rich ones, isn't there to be earned anymore. It is unreachable for us, because as long as they won't spend it, it's gone for our economy and the next point is, that most of the people have high loan's on their backs... So there isn't just not enough money to earn, there is to much minus to be nullified. The money that is reachable for the lower classes, wouldn't ever be enough to just nullify the minus of the many credits. In fact that means that someone has to lose everything, so that another person can earn the lost money, to nullify the credit running on his or her name or to earn enough to live a normal life, without permanent fear. So we can see... It's a big lie. We are fucked, because the people here won't bite the hand that pretended to feed us, while it robbed anything from us to be truth.. And the people in other countries, like Africa and India, are that poor, that they are to involved in surviving the next day, to start a real revolution. People of the west are stupid enough to think they can benefit from the system and the others are to poor, to have time to the en think about changing the system and all together we are manipulated and surpressed. And that's also the reason why these excellent working and skilled. People are poor, while their ridiculously well done work is getting sold for millions or thousands of dollars...

    If 5 people work on one lotus silk scarf for 5 hours each, and the scarf is sold for $200, that’s $8 per hour. The products produced take a significant amount of time and materials, which both take money. A knife requires metal, costing money, equipment, costing money, and labor time, costing money. While these products are very high quality, the input costs are more or less equal to the amount made. Mass-produced products are of inferior quality, but unless someone needs the expensive version for some reason (i.e. professional violinists need top-quality bows) there’s no real reason to shell out significantly more money for what amounts to basically the same product to most people.

I believe it's more likely to be a deeply smoke infused salt, than "oil" infused. Still, i wouldn't sell it as a "medicinal" product. Asian luxury's worth is known to be more based on common belief and tradition, more than actual facts, some even being more harmful than beneficial, like it happens with coconut oil. 🤷

    Definitely prefer the bossed gong from Thailand to the Paiste one. The bosses gong sounds so relaxing, so beautiful!!!!

    I agree!! The tone of the Thailand gong is beautiful. That Paiste gong had me looking around in terror.

    The Paiste gong sounded like a thunderstorm to me. I wouldn’t listen to it for an hour, but it wasn’t scary.
