We spend and spend and in the end we hold nothing in our hands.

You don't turn the heater on and off; you leave it on all the time like a hot tub or heated pool. When I got a waterbed I had to sleep in the living room the first night because it took a day for the bed to heat the water enough for me to not be freezing.

They actually still have impact to this very day, and lots of people noticed!

But as a summary, here are some things that happened:

After mass protests, the Prime Minister of Iceland was forced to resign, along with many other members of the ruling party.

After mass protests, the President of Pakistan was forced to resign, along with many other members of the ruling party.

Worldwide, hundreds of people – many rich and powerful – were arrested. Billions in stolen assets were returned to the people.

They're social clubs with the primary objective to be doing projects to better the community. They might raise money to build a new playground, a new hospital, for scholarships, stuff like that.

I can happily say that when I moved to my adopted state five years ago, I chose a tiny city of less than 4,500 population that is very quiet, very peaceful. My apartment is delightfully quiet---good, peaceful, cooperative neighbors, nobody gets into anybody else's business, and we don't have an actual street we're on, just our driveway-parking lot combo, so nobody rips through here. Super nice, beautiful scenery, great place---and income based, so the rent is very low, no matter who lives here.

Pagers and the company that had a monopoly where I live, Pagenet. Everyone had one clipped to their person.
