Wild times for sure man. The challenge is - how do we turn this thing around and head in a better direction? That’s a bitch of a climb lol.
I think one of the things that’s the most frustrating is people are unhealthy from eating shitty foods and they can’t afford the better ones. I guess they could technically start to grow some things on windowsills of apartments and stuff but sadly that’s not going yo happen for most people. Breaking that cycle too is going to be tough.
With the automation and shedding of jobs in the coming years - how are people even going to be able to fight back against being forced into using UBI and the requirements associated with that? You know that’s going to come with some lovely strings attached to the end of pointy things.
Indeed. I think it firstly has to start at the personal level, but it can't end there. I reckon we have to be a bit more objective without our look at "who we are" and far more proactive at applying change with intention.
Just think about all the shit that is required to make shitty food that advertises well for profits, and how simple good foods take far less energy to produce. It is a resource issue, isn't it?
I know it. I have been writing about it for years and believe it is going to be crushing. There are some models that might ease the pain, for instance where people reduce their work hours to 4 days a week, with the 5th covered by UBI for training or leisure etc, that way more people will have jobs, but I am not sure that will work long term either, as profit-seekers will maximize again.
