Does an action produce any meaning if it allows the same possibility it tried to fulfill? Have you ever heard yourself talking about change?
When the payment is due the only appropriate expression is play.
According to Jacques Derrida's hauntology, objects exist within their own reality of unfulfilled possibilities. A card, as a symbol of systematized society has its possibilities expressed through its function - transactionality of belonging.
I'm repurposing the functional to extract its essence, action against action, word against word, word with word, opening and closing the door 8 hours a day from 9-5, because this is actually a revolving door but your shift here is done. You can roll up your protest banner and go home now, dui!
