    What do you understand about the economic system? For example, how the money supply is created, and the ramifications of “interest” and “inflation”. What you’ll find if you do, is that the system is fundamentally broken if your goal is sustainability on this planet for any serious length of time.

    Most of the current world order couldn’t care less, clearly or we’d have done things about climate change that weren’t just technical advancements buying us time if making any difference whatsoever.

    Real austerity for the wealthy could pay for solving most of the world’s issues, several times over. And we have the resources to do it globally. It shouldn’t be a matter of “cost”.

    But it’ll probably never happen, unfortunately.
