So it kind of makes me wonder, is this system working? And we have to live in constant, constant anxiety and fear of, well, will I be replaced by something or someone? Whether it's automation, whether it's, you know, offshoring, like, you know, someone from another country being able to do our jobs for cheaper. We have to be, we always have to be wondering, well, will I be disposable?
I remember listening to an economist, I can't remember his name, and he talked about the inevitability of capitalism is to sort of eat itself until it can no longer function, where, like, the disparities that we see, the desire to make more and more money while continuing to cut costs. But if you continue to cut costs by either paying less to your employees or cutting their hours, well, then you cease to have people to be able to buy whatever service or product you're making

Hey, I really like this, that you. That you created this. Well cast, by the way, mj here, I absolutely agree with you, 150,000%. Not, that's a real number. But capitalism has definitely taken its toll on this country. And you seem like you're someone that does a lot of research by just the words that you use and the way that you've organized them
All of these things you see on the planet, all these technology, all these software begin inside in the mind. So I'll put it this way, so above, so below
So it's we the people need to stand up and stop the foliage and stop giving these people the handle and we have the blade is we put them in power is we give them the power and it's at the same time we give them the power and they take it and abuse it against us. Capitalism, that word and that group word and terminology of that word is not going to go nowhere

Zero power bank with multiple solar panels. Yeah. As in there are items out there that counteract capitalism because they don't require additional purchases. We probably, as a people, all people should consider that waste may be the issue that capitalism is maintained due to the acceptance of waste for the ability of us all to continue being able to create without penalty. Where does all the stuff that we buy go when we don't buy it? I repeat that one more time
You don't want to let go of capitalism if it also reflects who you are or who you see yourself to be, let alone who you want people to see you to be. And so, like, I don't even know, because to imagine a hybrid of sorts would mean to take in different cultures, perspectives and the things that they've done, but also would completely revamp, redefine all the social structures as well. And, yeah, just

I will recommend to you a project that I never mentioned. It is called the Venus project. It was based off of the idea that the technology to create these new economies could be mathematically or scientifically proven probable with technology. It was called the Venus project. I'll also mention that there are certain industries that have ran this way for a long time, agriculture and farming. So one major country that did this very well, actually, is in the desert, Dubai. There's nothing around it

Just, like, kind of one of those things that just always, like, sits on my mind, is, is this better for the greater good or for the greater few? You know? And I just don't see how that's sustainable long term. And I don't know. Like, I agree with you that the technology is here to be used and for us to be able to improve our lives

You can only rent it their whim, and they can actually just make it whatever they want. $5,000 today, $7,500 for a one bedroom. What are you gonna do? You have nowhere to go. They own everything, right? And so, yeah, I think it's incumbent upon us for our own survival, both bourgeoisie and proletariat, to kind of figure out a better system that works for everybody
