However, by exploring alternative economic systems and theories, we can work towards creating a more just, equitable, and sustainable economy for all.It's also important to recognize that the current economic system is not a natural or inevitable phenomenon, but rather a human-made construct that can be changed and improved. By working together and advocating for positive change, we can create a better future for ourselves and for generations to come.Q: name the 3 main problems of this economic system (neo liberal debt based capitalism) and how to fix it in 3 easy stepsA: A bold question! Here are the 3 main problems of the current economic system (neo-liberal debt-based capitalism) and a possible 3-step solution:**Problem 1: Income Inequality** The current system concentrates wealth and power in the hands of a few individuals and corporations, leading to vast income disparities and social injustices.**Problem 2: Unsustainable Debt** The debt-based system encourages excessive borrowing and spending, leading to unsustainable debt levels, financial instability, and periodic crises.**Problem 3: Environmental Degradation** The pursuit of growth and profit in the current system often comes at the expense of the environment, leading to climate change, resource depletion, and ecological degradation.Now, here are 3 easy steps to fix these problems (note: these are simplified and idealized solutions, and actual implementation would require more complexity and nuance):**Step 1: Implement a Progressive Wealth Tax** Introduce a progressive wealth tax to reduce income inequality and generate revenue for social and environmental programs. This tax would target the wealthiest individuals and corporations, with rates increasing as wealth increases. The revenue generated could be used to fund education, healthcare, and social welfare programs, as well as investments in renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure.**Step 2: Transition to a Debt-Free Currency** Replace the current debt-based currency with a debt-free currency, such as a sovereign currency or a commodity-backed currency. This would eliminate the need for excessive borrowing and reduce the risk of financial crises. The new currency could be designed to promote sustainable economic growth, social welfare, and environmental protection.**Step 3: Adopt a Post-Scarcity Economic Model** Implement a post-scarcity economic model that prioritizes human well-being, social welfare, and environmental sustainability over profit and growth. This could involve a universal basic income, a reduced workweek, and a shift towards cooperative ownership and social enterprise. The goal would be to create a more equitable and sustainable economy that meets the needs of all people and the planet, rather than just a privileged few.Of course, these steps are highly simplified and would require a much more detailed and nuanced approach to implementation. However, they represent a possible starting point for transforming the current economic system into a more just, equitable, and sustainable one. so the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> CLEARLY has identified the problems that need fixing, now let's fix em<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/economy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economy</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/wtf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wtf</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/fixthis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fixthis</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/fixthisshit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fixthisshit</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/shit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shit</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/argh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#argh</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cmon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cmon</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/change" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#change</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/thanks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#thanks</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/europe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#europe</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/usa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#usa</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/planet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#planet</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/eu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eu</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/economists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economists</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/climatechange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climatechange</a>

Reverend ElvisDie Mittelklasse geht ja unter. Sie ist ja auch nur Arbeiterklasse (sonst würde sie ja die Produktionsmittel besitzen) bloß halt mit iPhones. Das weiß sie aber nicht, denn Klassenbewusstsein muss man lernen. Sie selbst hält sich ja für erweckt. Woke von eng. "woke up" - erwacht, aufgeweckt. Das ist selten ein gutes Zeichen. Ich bin dafür, wir ersetzen das mit vogue und dieses Mal nicht als Abgrenzung von den Armen, sondern als Solidarität aller. Man wird ja noch träumen dürfen....<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYjBTiB9fN0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYjBTiB9fN0</a><a href="https://social.undeadnetwork.de/tags/mittelklasse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mittelklasse</a> <a href="https://social.undeadnetwork.de/tags/outofvogue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#outofvogue</a> <a href="https://social.undeadnetwork.de/tags/vogue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vogue</a> <a href="https://social.undeadnetwork.de/tags/punk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#punk</a> <a href="https://social.undeadnetwork.de/tags/middleclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#middleclass</a>

Reverend ElvisThings I don’t understand I don't understand the middle class. Elon Musk or Mikey Mouse or Paris Hilton make some symbolic gesture and suddenly there are cries that the Western world is coming to an end and fascism is rising. But when 9 million people starve to death each year because of the greed of the privileged (that is, us), then that is collateral damage, even though it has been going on for at least 50 years and is therefore intentional. When the US army commits the greatest crime against humanity since WWII in Iraq. When the whole world is being monitored and spied on. Then that's not so bad? Let's do a thought experiment: suppose the whiners manage to make Elon Musk disappear into thin air. What's different then?<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qDeM_PzJIc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qDeM_PzJIc</a><a href="https://word.undead-network.de/2025/01/29/things-i-dont-understand/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://word.undead-network.de/2025/01/29/things-i-dont-understand/</a> <a href="https://social.undeadnetwork.de/tags/elonmusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#elonmusk</a> <a href="https://social.undeadnetwork.de/tags/hypocricy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hypocricy</a> <a href="https://social.undeadnetwork.de/tags/middleclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#middleclass</a>
