Its time I said it: capitalism has failed us. Its an economic system bent on competition leading to domination/monopolies, rather than small, LOCALIZED city by city participation. A unit where people can make sure they get what they want, rather than having to choose walmart, target, or kroger. It takes more work, but we all live healthier, longer, happier lives. We will have SO much more free time because we will all have only a bit to contribute to keep it going (or more if you want to earn more). I dont know in any form what this is yet, but a quote that rattles in my head constantly. PLEASE READ “I do not particularly like the word work. Human beings are the only animals who have to work, and I think that is the most ridiculous thing in the world. Other animals make their livings by living, but people work like crazy, thinking that they have to in order to stay alive. The bigger the job, the greater the challenge, the more wonderful they think it is. It would be good to give up that way of thinking and live an easy, comfortable life with plenty of free time. I think that the way animals live in the tropics, stepping outside in the morning and evening to see if there is something to eat, and taking a long nap in the afternoon, must be a wonderful life. For human beings, a life of such simplicity would be possible if one worked to produce directly his daily necessities. In such a life, work is not work as people generally think of it, but simply doing what needs to be done.” ― Masanobu Fukuoka, The One-Straw Revolution
