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?

    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.
