All we’d have to do to create a healthy abundant economy is marshal our resources in service to people living healthy abundant lives. Right now we do it backwards. We deny people even minimum requirements for an abundant life supposedly in service to creating a better economy.

Easiest, fastest way to raise standard of living for literally everybody? Produce cheap, abundant energy. It makes everything more much more affordable. Yet politicians throughout the world want to limit energy production & keep prices as high as possible. Why?

The reason “we do this backwards now” is that we have only two political parties, both of which are FULLY corporate controlled. Just look who currently heads the Democratic Party, a man who has spent his entire life in the service of corporate interests. This is NOT by accident:
