Don't forget that I am old and attached to many current ways but am always open to change in the long run just not too quick to recognise it sometimes!

Thing is, we only need to make 1 decision and not our entire belief system or the preconceptions that have us putting labels on everything. We don't really need to change the way we think, as 99% of us are already decent dood and doodettes 99% of the time, even the bad feckers.

I know what you mean about the financial system and its workings etc... it is open to abuse and were once upon a time that meant direct theft, now it's theft of purchasing power that's used at all levels. It has always been there and always will if the same mechanisms that allowed it to flourish exist. They iz da masterz of that game.

Funny thing is John, that's exactly what I'm proposing lol. The current system has worked to a point, time to improve it and shed some of the accumulated shit along the way

Shed things Like personal ownership? Societies productivity? Earner/buyer choices?

Seems easier to just make the requisite changes on a personal level than to winge about pushing that garbage through.

Hell, if we are after one simple decision, could be to

Jeez, not only are you clueless when it comes to economics and society, you don't know good advice when it's given.
You're even whining about being told not to whine...

Those were questions to you, as in, are these things things that you are proposing we get rid of?

Lets face it, the current system has enough question dodging fuckwits in it, if you're trying to 'sell' a new one, maybe doing something positive like answering questions is a good approach?

I think that is his only point of difference with the more popular politicians. Both say what they think we want to hear, without saying much of substance, both will end up selling our future for short term gains...

Is it a yes or no on personal ownership continuing under your proposal? Tis an inconclusive answer you gave as nobody being able to sell it you suggests no, but being able to sell it to yourself suggests a degree of ownership in the first place. Of course neither of which addresses the relevant point for some, will the new 'govt' take any of my 3 holiday houses, 7 weekend cars/bikes, or 432 gold rings? since I cannot use them all at once.
