My follow up curiosity: how can we find success & sustainability in meeting our basic needs and security by turning our backs right back on global industry (and government) by working inward within our local communities?

Build a positive and supportive relationship with your neighbors, set up a community group or multiple for different purposes, love people just because you can and plant trees whose shade you will never enjoy. The real human world was meant to run off of cooperation and connection. Whatever shadow we’re living in now is not the truth to the human condition, and it is why there is infinite suffering.

Die I guess? At least in America that’s how it will go.

The entirety of all profits belong to the ownership class short of any taxation they can’t get around. Those taxes will never be allowed to provide for people that “aren’t productive” (read: aren’t increasing the wealth of the ownership class.)

We recently let a tax credit ment to help families with children expire because “there will be less of an incentive for parents to work.

We are nothing but tools to grow someone else’s wealth. :(

If we’re not making money then they’ll have no customers or profits.
