Oh, it is much better than that Orion. It's not that they will want to do it they will have to.
Quick refresher on my solution : The only way to take the teeth out of the powers that be is to reject their money. While a paralell monetary system will not work, barter will. But for that to happen people must be able to do something. Another aspect is that we must do without their new toys. That means no cable, no new plasma TV, no new speakers, drive the same car for a few more years and alot of other things like becoming highly efficient and some who have land, to have gardens and such. The whole nine yards.
Don't get me wrong, we can't wean ourselves totally from the monetary system, but we can wean ourself off the highlife. For example want a VCR ? Obsolete. Want a DVD, obsolete. You need a bluray. Know what, the bluray is already obsolete. They already have something so much better that they can't even use the capacity. They are holographic DVDs and are most likely only used in government to save information on people. Their capacity is amazing.
But wait, the regular old decrepit DVD already had four languages, subtitles in four languages, choice of camera angles and all kind of stuff nobody ever used. It was to keep up with the Jones'es. In this country, whether immigrant or not, we develped this technology. We seem to like it. We had alot to do with Man's love affair with fast and/or fancy cars. This affinity is what fueled the scam that has gone on so long. Most people can't see the forest for the trees. They do get in the way huh ?
What we have done with our flagrant display of dependence on this garbage is exactly what started this whole mess. And believe it or not, even if we still made everything in the US it would still be a mess. A waste is a waste, no matter what.
We The People are the only ones who can break the cycle. Only when we say NO, can we do that. I didn't even own a DVD player at all until my Dad died. That was in May, how long have DVDs been out ? I have broken the cycle, at least in my own life. The only things that might be better bought new are computers. After my venture into that market I am not so sure.
It is as if they want to leave no stone unturned where we might find a way to make some money. They seem to be quite meticulous. Everywhere you turn there wil be an impediment. Want raw milk from a farm ? Illegal. Want un-genetically altered seeds that will actually not only produce but reproduce ? Cost you at least four times as much. Butter costs more than margarine, but it didn't for a time, when everyone thought butter was bad for you.
Yes follow the money, but also follow the desire, and what created it. In a way it is like following the money, backwards. Without mass production there are no mass sales. Without mass sales, there will be no mass production, at least for long.
I see breaking the vicious cycle as the only real cure. All that bribe money, worthless almost. All that tax money, worthless almost. All that money period, worthless almost.
And remember two things, first of all with the path they're taking the money will be devalued considerably. And then of course people can't buy the Chinese crap they sell, then comes part two.
I just lay in wait for those days, and I think they are coming up soon. Perhaps within our lifetimes. If not, things are going to get pretty miserable anyway. They could never print enough money to stop it, only slow it.
