In sorry I missed replying to you yesterday. Living off grid is the only way to secure some form of freedom. Being there are so few people willing to take the leap to a new way without powerful overlords hanging over every aspect of our lives. I see that as sending humanity backwards if we were to abandon everything and take that as our only option. We the people includes all our scientists, doctors, Imventeres builders and everything else included. It also includes that we own and operate all factories, farms, hospitals and so on. Why should we abandon everything we have created ? When it's only a small amount of people with invested old money who we need to abandon and we still own and operate everything we need. We have half the population with no work. They are pretty much left out of the community and turn to drugs and other forms of escapism. Legal or illegal drugs are all the same. These people need to comit crime since their basic needs are not met. They have no choice. The other half is working way too hard with no one in the home to raise the children. So we let the state instill their values not the parents. These people are mostly also on drugs as a coping mechanism. Their marriages fail the family breaks down anyway due to stress. Often over money. They are in debt. Basically no one is happy. If we were to let all people work and help that would take a lot of stress of both side. One half can enjoy life a little more work less the other half gets to rejoin the community pitching in. Working with others is also a social outlet and makes people feel worth something. If we build things to last rather than the consumerist throw away society we have now. People need to work less. Think of this. If we all have a swimming pool in our home. That is a lot of resources and labor wasted. And who uses it every day? It has to be cleaned maintained. So it's a waste. Now what's wrong with putting one in the street for every one to use and people pitch in on the up keep to it? We share. We don't all need our own. Also would create a more valuable community as we all run into each other in passing.
The same goes for cars, boats. All sorts of things. Think about a complex of 20 units. They all have a car each. Yet at any time half the cars are parked not being used. That's a waste. They only need twelve cars to share and there is always two spare. If they are built to last then that's less work in repairs and less work in the factory building them. Don't even need keys and locks. They belong to all the people.
Some say that without money no one will do anything. Well we all die. Necessety is a huge driving force to get people motivated. Think about this. World without money. When you ask a child what they want to do when they grow up. They say a fireman cos they want to save people or some job that they know someone does like mum or dad. Or something else they feel is really cool. Not one child says. I want to be an engineer cos they are on $180,000 a year with medical insurance. You never hear that. I really like that you are thinking about other options. That's all that's rally needed. Cos what we got now is shit and getting far worse by the day.
U might like the last piece I wrote before this. It's on my feed called ( rich verses poor. ) right under this one.
