Debt is an unreal number

Fantastic news tonight from the US Labor Secretary in interview.

"03 02 2007: US Labor Secretary indicates that we're ready to switch to a 'very sustainable' free energy economy 'sooner rather than later'. Labor market looks fantastic."

We lose more jobs to technology than the average recession per year. China has a net loss of manufacturing jobs due to technology, even as they take in manufacturing jobs from foreign markets. This means that as technology replaces man power, more labor can potentially be done with the same resources. Otherwise, technology would be abandoned for manpower. Because there is a loss of labor to be done as it is replaced by technology, it is necessary for the wealth produced by this technology to be distributed fairly. Labor must have leads in or labor will collapse under technology. Labor collapsing means the general market collapses if the majority of humanity has no income potential. By using free energy, all laborers can be turned into techs, farmers, or capitalists, and free efficient machines can perform all meaningful jobs of labor. This will produce a booming economy forever.

Regarding Billy Bunkie the Science Junkie's term on non-negative numbers, and debt being 'in the red', we must resolve our understanding of what debt is. A negative number is not a 'debt', as nothing can be less than a vacuum, but it is a resolution for this place to be filled by something else becoming zero. This can be a partition of a grouping, such as 'part of my resource' or 'part of my labor'.

Walmart Nouvelle

Walmart could become a good net-order store. They have the capital to augment their chain[s] with a good warehouse/home delivery service. Sears did it 115 years ago. Any chain could quickly take advantage of the world's internet population and use webcams store chats and net salespeople to sell goods.

I imagine the store as a webhangout as well as a business. Active chat rooms, a forum, news tickers, maybe a DJIA category board for certain genres, you can have your ads, plenty of store and product review blogs, [oh, that did it], map and directions protocols, store locators, warehouse locators, search engine, product finder, charity lists and clickable charities, and maybe some flash games too. Webcomic rings. Modest hosting. It'll be bright.

Next up will be the product order info. People will come here for the funk above, and also find the time to order products amazon style to be delivered same day or at their convenience. Grocery-style. No one waits 2 days for groceries. They get it in hours. So they will get a blender they see on a webcam in hours, in the comfort of their home. You can order a pizza online, why not a blender?

Walmart is making far less money on its old stores. Perhaps they should begin *closing* unprofitable stores, or turn them into internet cafes and direct warehouses.
