How to measure different types of matter (with slide-rule accuracy)

The concept of MATTER is interesting. What is even more interesting is the co-incidental name given to matter, as I would question whether matter really matters?.

Take the shortest distance between two points, from a physics point-of-view: This occurs (in a measurable way) at some atomic level, when in fact at a gigantic level where the universe is possibly part of another sub-atomic world, you couldn't get the point of a needle between the sun and the earth!!.. Hence, the measurement systems we take as absolute, are in fact relative..  Relative to the tolerances accepted between the two "points" and distance system in between being measured!..  "Food for thought this Christmas"

How about paying for your shopping on a monthly basis (on your loyalty card)?

The economic system we're living in has, over the last number of years, evolved from being a "pay as you go"  (fixed one off payments) society to becoming a "period-pay" (regular fixed monthly payments) society.  An example is the phone systems we use, where we (largely) moved from landlines to mobile phones, where we now commonly pay a fixed monthly fee, regardless of how much we use (based, of course, on a fair usage policy). In the old days, you paid a small monthly fee, and your final fee was based on your usage.
Now it's becoming more and more based on a monthly model.

Hence I foresee this trend continuing into the future, whereby this will extend to other business models. e.g. On average you might pay €40-50/day for your daily shop, where Supermarkets might adopt a system whereby you use a loyalty card to shop each day for free, but you pay up front a fee of (say) €300/week. These models are very attractive for suppliers, as they provide a guaranteed monthly income, making revenues much easier to predict into the future. Hence I expect this fixed periodic payment model will become the norm for society in the future across a range of business offerings.

Big Companies /Corporations + Government Organisations Versus The Trade Unions: Traditional model revamped

The future of disputes or differences between the powers that be (Big Companies / Corporate bodies and  Government based organisations) and the representatives of the Productive system (the new proletariat) in (e-) commerce will not be done with the traditional Trade Union model, of balloting members, organizing it-ins, having lengthy meetings that mainly consist of arguments set to create a gap between both sides, the outcome of which more often than not results in some sort of strike action (workers stop working for a period of time).......
