Yes, I agree that a larger safety net is necessary, and the bucks for
that should come from the ultra wealthy who shirk their national

eventually.

Food prices are climbing very high. The pound of butter I paid $2.99

33% increase. I don't eat beef but the price of hamburger is over $4
now.

/It is a fact that prices have gone up, but people need to realize that
most of the food they consume is killing them. All the average person
really needs in order to be healthy are clean air, pure water, salt, a
few simple grains, vegetables, salads and olive oil, and a little fruit.
The average person should consume only 1800 calories per day.
We have eliminated all dairy and sugar and most carbohydrates from our
diet and we've never felt better. ///We try to avoid all refined sugar,
corn syrup, corn, potatoes, meat and poultry, eggs, milk and any boxed
food at the store.
We still have a weakness for chocolate, good wine, and occasional
chicken taco when we eat out./ Our food bill is way down!

The riots in Greece were because people could no longer afford food
not because they were economic experts. Only a matter of time until
riots begin here and the government is trying to be proactive but just
the wrong way.

Part of the issue, is that corporate titans are seen as great
visionaries and geniuses, instead of simply being true to their
charter, which is to turn as big a profit, as possible, resources and
populations be damned. We need real leaders, not Warren Buffet and a
bunch of unethical salesmen, running this country.

But being in tech also you know the corporate titans are not the
visionaries. They buy small companies started by people who are
visionary or accidentally (more often than not) created something
visionary.

One of the ways of doing it would be guaranteed annual income.
That's a safety net and keeps people from becoming desperate. In
fact the crime reduction it might produce might pay for it. You can
look up the different countries implementing it and see how they are
going to pay for it. Otherwise limit how much money anyone can have
because we're seeing that billionaires are mentally ill and don't
deserve the power they wield.
Americans are so brainwashed with a Tarzan like "capitalism good,
socialism bad" meme that its difficult to get any decent change and
it'll just send us back to the middle ages where there are two
classes the extremely wealthy and the extremely poor. Don't stand for it!
Nothing brings this out more than than the holiday season or "Crassmust".

Yes, but I don't know how that would be possible. This area I
now live in, was a paradise for the natives, for 3,000 years -
no inter-tribal warfare, and absolute respect for territorial
boundaries. But, they had nothing, and lived entirely off the
land. I like my tech, and modern life, and not sure how that
would happen, without monetary rewards.
