The world is in turmoil, petty fighting around
the globe, mostly intertribal disputes as they squabble
over and within "National boundaries" imposed
upon them by white tribes (real Europeans).
While this has been going on more and more
people became 'civilized'. It seems one of the 'proofs'
of being civilized is how far one distances one's self from
the natural cycles of life.
"I am no longer a farmer, I am a city
man, civilized. Therefore I must put away all things of
the Earth so that I might embrace city style and thus become
one of them."
Many beings are being pulled from their roots
by the 'Draw' of the system, i.e. capitalistic scarcities.
Global unrest is the swan of Community. As the wisest among
us realize the enormity of our loss, i.e. global ecological
collapse. While the rest of us are only of a coming unknown
and so are scrambling as fast as they can to get what they
can before 'it' arrives.
Too many people are too unconnected to anything
else. Small hopes, weak dreams, "not enough money"
it can't last forever. More and more people close down.
Turmoil -> Natural destablement -> Armageddon
OR
Turn the system over.
-
Keep everything just as it is, accepting
that many of the here and now will soon disappear.
-
Vest the bottom 20% into the system.
-
Give the poor title to their land
-
Fund all infrastructure bonds from
retirement accounts, owned by the retirees.
For example:
Take the $1 trillion+ Social Security trust fund and use it
to fund local and state bond issues. No speculative bonds,
of course, i.e. Economic Development. Only those bonds that
are ALWAYS paid. This fund is run by an elected board. Each
dollar contributed by a working person = one vote. No one
can proxy their vote. Therefore change can only come from
consensus. Say 400 million on Social Security, even given
the vote distribution advantage of the wealthy, they will
still have to convince a significant percentage of the rest
of us to effect change. And thus we are saved. From a $65
billion annual tax hit loss to $70 billion plus credited monthly
to our retirement accounts.
Think of it, 'the rest of us' could collectivity,
set a slightly higher rate of return to those on the bottom
and thus insure a more equable distribution of wealth. And
you know what? As the bond holders on all the schools, administration
buildings, courts, jails, and institutions, not to mention
the roads, bridges, water, and sewer systems parks, etc.
WE WILL OWN THEM
Of course we also have to pay through our property
taxes for all this. But even then more than half will come
from commercial property, so it's not al bad. And remember

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH
