Comment Re:This is the problem with giving unlimited money (Score 1) 28

No, you're wrong. It's not about money at all. It's about debt.

People are willing to take on jobs that require them to give up so much that life offers. They're willing to do that over growing their own food, and making their own life. Because of this basic diversion from Nature, humans are now having to put up with certain evils that they'd otherwise be protected from. Protected from such evil, by Nature itself.

Everything that I work with, all of it, it's all web based. If I want to send a message to the person on the other side of the wall from me, I use the internet to do so. Everything that I do for clients in all web based as well. When the people that work in my office have meetings, we all sit at our desks, and meet online thru MS Team. Yet the possibility of me working from home is out, because they say that they need me in the office.

At its very base, money is there to represent some form of actual value. So the paper notes themselves aren't worth anything alone. We say that "money doesn't grow on trees" because the value of money is based solely on someone working. That person works because they have a debt to pay. So the value of money is debt.

Food at its very base has its own value. Food grows freely in Nature. Nature works hard for free. The humans need only to understand this Nature machine.

So to answer the question, "What will we do?" ...we will have to learn how to use the Nature machine again. Now, just to get out from under this notion that humans need to rule...

"Define "average person" for me."
If you need that defined for you, you're far too ignorant to participate in the topic.

Sa-WEEEET, FINALLY!!! See, I'm from Alabama, and I've been taking shots all my life for it, "Oh are you and your sister still married?". But here we are now, knowing that the average person in Alabama is exactly the same as the average person in California. And the average African...? EXACTLY the same as the average American. When it comes to average, they're all the same, that's why they're average. Right, guys? ....guys?
