So let's go ahead and fix this financial crisis:
Well I think we need to stimulate the private sector by injecting the economy with a substantial liquid investment. Which would result in increased credit flow and mitigate current shortfalls while increasing prospects for future investment opportunities in diversified arenas.
No really.
I mean it.
OK so I'm not even sure I know what I just said. And I'm fairly sure that if I do know what I just said, I don't agree with it.
Here is the real solution:
Completely disconnect from this corporate economic structure and simultaneously detach from the policital power structure and create reasonable sized autonomous communities that focus on sustainable development in terms of technological and social concerns. These communities can be organized into larger collectives that can make decisions regarding more broader reaching issues such as trade. This organizational structure would be committed to consensus based direct democracy. The end result would be a society that lives on egalitarian principles, applying the "seven generation" model to create a living system that exists in harmony with the environment.
Wow that wasn't so hard.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Happy to help...
ps. One thing that might not save the economy but would go along way to restoring my sanity, would be if the United States politicians and media members would immediately cease and desist from using the words Main and Street together. For example "The Wall St. bailout must protect Main St." I grew up in Binghamton N.Y. a half block from Main St. I'm not sure why these people are so focused on Binghamton. I mean I've been saying for years that Bingo could use a shot in the arm. But this is a little much don't you think?
hey victorio
ReplyDeleteperhaps you can find a happy medium
cause those autonomous units, in NYC for example, arent going to happen, without a corporation to get them what they need
not unless they kill all the other autonomous units
or become breatairians
i've heard its been done
at any rate
its scary what we can accept when we dont think for ourselves
and how do you do that when were dependent on info from others
surprisingly the schenectady gazette opinion section has been telling it like it is
as far as the cause of the financial crisis
as for the solution
fuel cells, thin film solar cells, perhaps nuclear. from nuclear they're not making anything more radiactive than it already was, were just concentrating it-if we put it back where we got it from, then no harm done? especially if its below the water table and away from fault lines
there are already hundreds of nuclear power plants around the globe.
kind of crazy and scary
im not sure about this info about the nuclear, i have to research it more but it's something to think about
local sustainablitily is definately the goal
there are new materials and technologies created to make that possible
and recycling capabilities
yup less transportation,
essential job creation
an a reduced work week perhaps, by sharing responsibilities.
how are all those folks so busy down in NYC anyhow?
i wonder if they value their work?
or are they not working?
yeah right.
hey perhaps we could all just migrate south.
yeah right.
well in a fix (funny that they call a problem a fix, all those folks that came before us might not be so ignorant after all) all we really need is food, hot water and lots of layers right? and something to get it to us
that's not too much to ask
but it would be nice of we could do more
so what corporations would you like to eliminate anyway?
they seem to do a lot of good
maybe we should focus on individual consumption, smaller houses, smaller cars, city life (as live in the burbs, ughh), vegan diet
well, keep spreading the word
were all in this together
when you say that
maybe people will actually listen
if not, then they just dont get it yet
but that's the challenge of educating
and the challenge of a democracy
peace

ps. i also think there should be a flat rate(or limit) on gains from investments so that the money is diverted back to infrastructure, pollution prevention/cleanup and sustainable job creation
and there should be more regulations about who gets loans, how and why
ughh and ahh
with light "we venture into the slipstream..to be born again"
i hope people stay open to change and to vision
pps the uranium for nuclear energy is highly destructive while its being mined and processed, im pretty sure. you probably already know that. i dont know how bad it is. ughh. maybe they've made improvements.
ha "ya down with 'oh' pp"
i've always wondered what that meant. do you know?
maybeit was profetic of my second ps
ppps.
so how small are these autonmous units anyway?
dont say grand st. or the mansion hill community.
