It does not matter how much of the financial pie you get. As a Gold Rush driven GDP means your cost well out strip your ablity to pay and only a privileged few well walk away a financial winner and the community well be left with the problems . $$ on its own cannot fix. As we broke economic and business 101 sustainablity principles of sustainablity and fixing tgat we’ll require something we are not very go at. Accepting change in not what humans do but how we do it. Causing controlled deflation. the experts say cannot be done. Actually we had the ability for over a decade, but it require collaboration and that something we seem to have to lose a lot more. Before they realize. Either change or be left behind in a Global community structure . Based on Star Trek global federation . That remove $ from the head of the table to being at the table to address unsustainable problems tgat have no borders. Just on going cost. To our sustainablity.

One thing you learn from being part of actual change starting in college. You cannot fix a 2 decade old Gold Rush driven GDP with a 20th century horse& buggy silo driven tools. But you can with the 21st century sustainability investment system & tools already proven that once you remove $$ from the head of the table to being at the table. Attached to sustainablity. Comes down to simply applying economic and business 101 sustainability principles.but the first words you well hear. I understand we need change. Just has long has what you change has no impact on what I do or how I do it and the benefits to me and my support system. Change is a bitch. Getting in trouble is easy, the longer it’s around the less positive impact $$ has until at sometime. Either restructure to address it or become part of economic history where a privileged few win & the community are force to collaborate and apply innovation to do what $$$ screwed up but no longer can address on its own. Everything’s there. COVID showed us what is possible through collaboration, Mother Nature showing us why we need to change. Then we have those that think like Trump or Putin. Pissing off the educated young. Who actual is no value in $$ nor power already creating a Global federation to wonder the stars based on Star Trek(1968) version structure, 80% already in place. Going to be an interest decade. As we mature as a Global community.
