    As long as we keep antiquated monetary based economic and political systems there will be no emancipation of all. We don’t need money and things to dictate who gets what. (shelter, food, water, love, community, education…) those should be already granted to everyone because we have the resource, knowledge, and capabilities to do so. We have people going without essentials only because the rich and powerful want it that way.

      I agree to an extent. What do you suppose would replace money? Labor vouchers? Moreover, there needs to be a transitionary period to phase out money.

      My point being, the changes we need have to be reformational. Expedited reform is the only sensible path forward.

        Ya I don’t think it’ll be something that happens fast or within our lifetime. But there’s no rational reason for us to not starting to provide some essential needs today. The US throws out enough food to feed everyone in our country now. But it’s preferred to over produce so shelves look full and then throw out whatever doesn’t sale. Literally insanity when millions of Americans go to sleep hungery
