If we had gotten more people to not vote, than the last election would have been immediately dismissed.
"85% of the people voted..." says the news pundit.
"20% of the people didn't vote," says the agorist
Well then, something is wrong. Provably wrong.
I really dislike currency.
The numbers "1 billion" and "1 trillion" do not really mean anything.
I doubt anyone has these kinds of numbers actually in their bank accounts.
Not even the govern-cements.
The only way to get these kinds of numbers is to make money out of thin air.
And the other part about currency is that you then go and compare, as above,
building a submarine vs healthcare.
...or food, or ending poverty...
And these comparisons are SHTUPID.
They should be laughed at by anyone who makes them.
But we do not teach people about money, nor do we teach them about building anything.
If you had an extra trillion dollars lying around, could you give everyone health care?
NO.
There is no excess health care to be purchased at any price.
Do you see any unemployed doctors laying around?
The same can be said with food and starvation.
But here, it is even more insidious.
Half of the vegetables coming into america are thrown out, because they are pretty enough.
However, redistribution is almost impossible, not enough time left to send them some place else.
The thing is, the corruption is far deeper than any want to imagine.
Why don't we have geothermal, tidal power, or even mass solar? Because govern-cement has squashed them over and over. Denied them from being investigated or brought online. Have to protect the power companies...
And food is power. You control the food, you control the people.
The solution is simple, but we have never been taught these things.
Growing your own food does not seem economically viable, unless you forget the stupid dollar metric.
Then you can see that growing your own food in a tech-helped greenhouse means less than 10 hours a week to feed your family.
And continuous energy is as simple as drilling a well... but good luck getting a permit for that.
