Scarcity is artificial with our level of technology and our ingenuity.

It's a myth, we are able to produce more than enough even with many countless individuals in dire straits maintaining the world's economy/production. We produce so much that we can afford to waste incredible amounts of food and other goods without batting an eye.

What if the individuals slaving were given the ingredients to be happy and healthy, with their human rights and needs respected?

Personally, I believe the world would get even more productive, things would start making sense, people wouldn't have to work so hard, we'd see forward movement in our societies, and without a doubt we'd see incredible advancements.

I refuse to believe that everybody would laze about, leave the "hard" jobs unattended, and let the world rot.

If we can work this hard while we are forced to survive, forced to live in lack while the landfills pile up to the sky — there's no way we wouldn't be incredibly more efficient if people could take a second to breathe and fill their cup. If everybody could take a second and look around and see where things could be even better, where they can make a difference, everything would surely very quickly improve.

There's no way to convince me that "peak productivity" is everybody emptying their cup and breaking the glass to pay debts and to afford necessities.

plant food trees and gardens…

I think we have to start respecting ourselves, respecting others, and teaching those concepts to people who are receptive. To me, it seems like the only way to break the cycle called slavery.

They can dress slavery up with benefits all they want, but they don't even care to anymore. Everybody knows it's a raw deal and they are trying to scare us into thinking we have no power.

Let's not be stuck in fear and hate, in subservience and denigration, and be sovereign and resolute in the change we want to see in the world.

I don't need an external authority to tell me what I should believe and hope for. I don't need somebody to curb my expectations and tell me change is impossible, that we actually need to compromise for no real reason, that it is too "costly", or that it will take an extremely long time. I don't want to be told ANY of that when change is possible — these people simply gave up before they even started. No more am I going to be gaslit, and I hope others feel similarly.

If you can't imagine a world where comprehensive solutions manifest imminently to ease suffering, you probably aren't fit for leadership. We need change now, this is absolute insanity. FUCK the perceived costs — it's infinitely more costly to continue the current state of affairs while many, many countless individuals suffer and our precious and irreplaceable planet goes up in flames.

I hope you're wrong. I really, really hope.

If those bubbles pop as they're graduating college, they might get to have homes.

Also there's a few countries that don't have housing bubbles, in Japan, 600/mo can get you a 700 sqft 2bd in a city of 10 million, in China 300 can get you that. Both these countries had bubbles that deflated.

The rest of us, in the civilised world, watch on from behind our fingers in horror and bewilderment

America is a classic case of the elephant chained to a small stake as a baby

The learnt helplessness of the population is nuts

That is pretty much how the mechanics of human consciousness works. We also know we are going to die some day, and that it is most likely not going to be very pleasant leading up to it. But we still manage to block out that knowledge of finality in our daily life.

Fuck Ted Faro

Every child that isn't born is a life saved.

But what about the animals that are going to die?
