![FutureChanges.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmP8GNejtM8umNkHRS1B7J66G7jzV1Eaw5567LsPFuWVb8/FutureChanges.png) Imagine a world where incomes go up AND house prices go down. Imagine a world where people weren't trying to find utopia, but instead craved new experiences and good bit of chaos in their lives. Imagine a world where everyone's basic needs were met, and many un-basic needs were fairly standard in most people's lives. This is actually the near future, and really, just the beginning of improvements. - - - - - - -

## We are so used to the buying from the company store, that we don't know what freedom of markets looks like We have no clue what the actual cost of anything is. Chevy is selling trucks for $100,000! But, on the other side of the world, Toyota has a basic truck for $10,000. What is worth $90,000 more? How much extra metal and plastic is being used??? Both trucks have 4 wheels, 1 engine, 1 drivetrain. Is an 8 cylinder engine 10x as costly as a 4 cylinder engine? The answer really is that there is not $90,000 more worth of truck there. What is the difference between a $500 refrigerator and a $2500 refrigerator. Yes, one looks better, and the other plain and boring. But the parts that do the work are all the same. And why are 20 year old refrigerators having a higher life expectancy than new ones? Most products in stores have a 10x markup. That $1 can of corn at the dollar store, cost them less than 10¢ each (in pallet quantities) Everything has so much markup, and is designed to fail, so it will be replaced soon. We have no idea what a quality part would cost. No one manufacturers them to have a price comparison. All we have is what it would cost for a single person to custom build it. In the future, we will have local manufacturing, meaning also local replacement parts and an item that is designed to repaired. And, with every improvement in the product, it will be better and cheaper, and the open source community will be sharing that improvement everywhere. As free markets actually start forming, we will find that "manufactured" goods just keep getting cheaper. And without the ludicrous amount of money printing, there would be nothing keep the prices high. (Yes, inflation, while we are manufacturing products cheaper and cheaper is ludicrous) - - - - - - -

## Stocks and Bonds are ludicrous, insane, and no one will "invest" in them First, corporations, the legal entity, is evil. Allowing someone/something to externalize costs and internalize gains is just asking for people to abuse society. Next, why would anyone sell their business? This is a bit tricky to explain. 1. there will be almost no barrier to entry. 2. the business is something you love, else you wouldn't be doing it. 3. It's the "family" business. This means that there is little reason to buy a business, and less of a reason to ever sell it. Third, the only way a corporation goes up in price (not value) is because of inflation. The money printer goes to the big corporations, and that goes to the stock markets. When the money printer crashes, and the stock market is shut down for fraud, then we will see stock's true colors. Large corporations only exist because they can shut out competition by buying politicians. They can only get big because they can borrow money far cheaper than everyone else. (banksters helping banksters) And, really think about bonds. How can a govern-cement pay interest on bonds? Only by printing more money. Govern-cements do not create anything, they only steal. Without money printing, govern-cements quickly find that they can't afford to pay bonds. Soon, stocks and bonds will be seen as worthless. Further, they will start to be seen as evil. Evil people doing evil things. To be avoided by good people. Besides, bitcoin will outperform all the stocks and bonds, and cost nothing to maintain. Can you imagine a world without stocks and bonds? - - - - - - -

## We actually get tech that makes a real difference We will soon have flying, or at least, hovering cars. I know that this isn't that big of a reveal, but, why have we been riding around on tires for almost 100 years? Almost nothing has changed in engines in the last 30 years. Just more smog sensor regulations. But, imagine just throwing out the drive train. No drive shafts, no gear boxes, no tires or suspension. The new car will be extremely simple. And, i believe they will first be built in garages, and will stay being built in garages. Chevrolet will be a has-been. We have been burning stuff for electricity for over 100 years. We will soon have electrical production that is non-polluting and continuous. The grid will be gone. It falls apart, and people find that locally producing electricity is a much better plan than trying to maintain the grid. A million independent systems, instead of one big, really complicated system. Instead of self driving trucks, which is almost impossible because you really need someone there to load and unload. However, self driving trains are very easy. So easy that we will have something like self driving box cars, not one big long train. Each individual car will be self propelled and part of an AI network that works out routing. Train tracks are much easier to maintain then miles of black asphalt. Further, we may have these tracks off the ground, so that animals can roam underneath, so we do not block migration paths, and the animals do not get in the way of the train cars. There will be so many neat innovations. It will seem like sci-fi world has come to life. We may actually get the cool world that was drawn up in the 50s. I, for one, am really depressed that most of our cars are white, gray or black. And the car designs, boring. - - - - - - -

So much changes in the next few decades. All the bigs collapse, and we build stuff that works from their ashes. We will have free markets and real money. This changes so many things. Really, people's incomes will go up, and their living expenses will be going down. With the banksters our of the way, we will find just how much the banksters stole from people. The 10 hour work weak will become normal. That is 10 hours of taking care of your crops and livestock. Not working for money to be able to buy crappy, poisoned food, but actual work that results in actual food. Food that is good for you. Food that is under your control. This results in many people being much less stressed. People will be living longer and healthier. The 40 hour work week, working for a large corporation, where you spend so much of your life driving to and from work, and the feeling that you are a slave to the system, will be gone. And with that, the whole world will seem to have changed. - - - - - - -
