Thanks iemanja,
I guess I needed that clarification.

How does the worker know,
how could they, any kind of commerce
is so, how we say, limited in any individualistic way.

Who controls the ship that sails, is the old age question

I wish it was an answer in itself, but it's not.

But, there is no question at all that we all are
dependent on one another's actions.

Especially when it comes to the Nation States.
