We can either continue to allow a market-based orientation to organize our civilization, or we can stand a reasonable chance of the species surviving on the planet for another hundred years. We cannot have both.

The only thing that will halt the rat race and put an end to market-based, profit-driven decisions is UBI. Scarcity is what drives the hoarding of capital, and we've come to the unsustainable end of our current system. It will collapse unless we relieve the pressure.

Hello, Marianne! We do not have a market-based civilization. A market-based civilization would be bases on the free market. We lost that, at least, 107 years ago with the creation of the Federal Reserve. Keep parading your looney liberal economic ignorance. Bernie loves it.

I remember hearing a very wise person say something about there being only 2 masters, one being Love & the other being money, and that we couldn’t serve both simultaneously... I wonder if they were right?🤔

We can have both, but there need to be regulations and a moral compass working together.

A good place to start would be in the #StockMarket #Wallstreet ; Specifically illegal immoral greedy practices like #NakedShortSelling (counterfeiting shares essentially) to artificially lower the a companies value to capitalize/cannibalize into non existence. Ie toysRus etc #AMC

We are in desperate need of devising a means to manage organized sociopathy.

We are part of one planet, and we are one humanity. And unless we live with that consciousness and shape every moment of our production and consumption with that consciousness, we are going to destroy ourselves.
