@alantperry @ChrisMayLA6 while I agree that the number of people who would benefit from adequate support far outweighs the cheaters - it is this group that makes GIS such a hard sell. Personally I see many advantages to it, what is needed to get it accomplished is the concern. Many people problems could be resolved with less costs and more humanity. The transition phase will take be a challenge- the devil is in the details?

@anarchistmemedistro I read this as a proposal of what folks should be doing.. oops.

@ChrisMayLA6 @sjwrenlewisThe growth economy cannot continue, the majority including so called leaders need to accept that. It has led to predatory capitalism and all it's documented negative aspects, I can't find positive evidence for it's continuing. So why do we continue to rationalise it.Again I return to state #sovereignty being a barrier to the real change we need. It is delusional to believe it can even be part of a global economy within this present system of adversariality and domination.

@ChrisMayLA6 It’s hard to argue with that - the gains were always uneven, and now the costs are hitting everyone.

Bitcoin’s fixed supply mimics gold, but its massive energy waste and wild volatility make it a reckless bet, not a prudent store of value. A stable asset shouldn't threaten the grid or your savings overnight. #bitcoin #Cryptocurrency #Economics
