I want to ask you, what would happen if this internet non-freedom was put into place, with your phone company giving you slower connection to websites owned by companies that compete with them?

Would phone companies even be able to field the complaints from all their existing customers? How many customers do you think would complain? 60-80%? More? how many would leave for a different company? 20-30%. Can you [company] lose 1/3 of your customers to your own greed?

The internet is a flat rate call. The 1st amendment is a clear and straightforward document and the law you must obey.

We need a classical reinterpretation of the 1st amendment, and the 4th for that matter. And regarding torture, the 8th. This should do our country very well. I believe electioneering reform, media freedom, "$/voice" is within the 1st, NSA and wiretapping and secret prisons and detainment are within the 4th, and torture is within the 8th. Note that all men are created equal and therefore we have to obey the interpretation that all humans on earth and all intelligent living beings are 'created equal' and have these rights.

Think about this the next time you consider devoting money to

Tech Sector

This is particularly about Microsoft. I've heard of their difficulties in the modern era, and I realize them. Their products are pretty *sluggish*.

Computing is like the world of economy F1 racing. If you don't make the fastest and best carputer for the cheapest, you will not win. Microsoft's products have become 'bourgeois'. Fluffy. Full of crap. Slowish in the CPU. Microsoft, is this true? If it's not true, show me.

IE is universally worthless. You can legally take many tips from mozilla and other such neat little engines. You could make a suitable technically customizable civilian browser. I have no interest in using your inbred emailing system. DON'T give me a button to do it on. I will just tear it off.

I am looking for a plain cheese pizza browser, ORGANIC, with no crap on it, leaving as much breathing space as possible for the CPU. Then I will browse from the condiments and whatever stuff I have brought with me to decorate it, obviously subject to examination. = how the consumer world works. Expect to make money around or through that system.

You can't make billions selling a giant hulking piece of junk and also have the will of the people. Right now you are struggling to have either. Why does Vista require 750Mb of RAM? That one always tripped me up, and because of the unpleasantly large cache size, I will not ever purchase Vista, and I will warn others of its foulty. If you hope to make $ off of Vista like 95, 98, or XP, you will be sadly mistaken, unless you trick a large number of executives into putting it on all their PC's, which is shameful and rowdy, and will harm the marketplace.

We work hard to slim our older [2003] computers down. Even the new ones get geeky [cool]. Vista is not in that world. Folks want to play Doom3 and have it run quickly, not by purchasing a billion megs of ram and a 4 gig clock and then running Doom3 through Vista, which is like running Doom3 through another instance of Doom3, but by having a reasonable amount of computer power and using it efficiently. Microsoft, your OS XP skips out on a dozen or more speed tweaks that have 0 reason to be off. Is this an offense? Shall we begin to investigate your fiscal and ethical earnestness? Seriously. Get on the stick. I am sure Vista could easily use half as much RAM as current and fix all the untweaked bits from XP.

You could probably make a good deal of money by typing out a small little versatile browser program, and kicking it out online. You'd make money because the program would cost like $10-20,000 to make. How to make money off this, though. Mozilla is free. How do they make money? Ads? Hey, how DO they make money? Are they non-profit? They probably do use ads. Mircosoft, you're a major company. You already have a large software and customer base. You can make more money from ads than from software, if you try. I wouldn't give you the true cred to make a tech zine site with any draw, but how long would it take your team, no, 1/8 of your team, to blast off a single well done browser that is contemporarily spy-free and will run on 30MB of ram? A day? Single digit project. "Inescapable usefulness." is the term that I want Microsoft to use. "Inescapable spaghetti."

I also really dig XPLite, even if it's not yours. I am considering it seriously. Maybe you should too. Once you've recouped your expenses on Vista... well, even beforehand, start slimming it down. Even at the sacrifice of some less useful features. Offer those things as downloadable extras, 'plug-ins'. My OS doesn't need to shave my poodle. It needs to open, have a visual display of my junk, and run my crap. Do it quick, do not leave corners. Do not ever crash, optimize the BIOS for me if you could with a single buttonclick, and run anything I say to. That is all. No lights, no gadgets, no guages. Do not automatically include WMP, QT, whatever. I can get those from the internet. They also slow it down, so I'm a shopper. Maybe sell Vista with those things as clickable extras, and cut the core size of Vista down today to ~550MB? I know you can. And if you work it will be 350 and 250 before you know it. That is 'within range'. TinyVista? Hey, what does Vista do that XP doesn't? I still haven't seen/paid attention to any of that. I say this seriously to you like an editor.

So... if you want to sell a giant Christmas tree without the spirit, go ahead, but know that it's a neon distraction and not a meaningful standby. Give the spirit.

This is particularly about Microsoft. I've heard of their difficulties in the modern era, and I realize them. They are disliked for numerous reasons.

Enough browbeating. I'm here to help you. Your IE is universally worthless. It is weak because of its numerous exploits.

Building a crappy product or making an inefficient system is throwing away labor and its results.

Vehicle Tax and Shift

Inefficient vehicles should be taxed specially and that money go to funding research and development of new fuel vehicles and electric and water splitting vehicles. Or promiting these kinds of vehicles. This kind of legislature and corporate action would very rapidly shift our automotive industry and abilities to moderate our own corporations.

"Tax and Shift" would be a great program. We should keep this one on the books as one of the greatest and most immediate ways to shift from the economy and world we experience to the one that we would wish to live in.

Inspired by music heard at www.radioleft.com.

Material

"The main theme was the same: the efficiency of the justice. It's interesting to fully understand what a cosmic universal economic system is. They explain it as follows: an economic plan, aimed at efficiently satisfying man's needs so that he is released from the tyranny of material things over his daily life."

This can be accomplished in the manner previously described, using 3d nanorobotics for industrial production, Tesla field circuitry for power transmission, and water splitting, motionless electromagnetic generators for power. Raw materials can be harvested and waste can be removed and processed in similar ways made efficient in terms of machinery and manpower by proper engineering. Maintenance should be performed as infrequently as possible by design of products.

The remaining time, which will become a majority of time, can be spent on love, refining social elements, information and communication, kultur, religious study, and building sandcastles.


"In other words, if everyone has everything at his disposal, then the acquisition of material goods is no longer of paramount importance. This can only be achieved by providing "equal shares for everyone"; otherwise envy will always exist. The culture then becomes more or less stable."

>100% efficiency Economics

Economics relies partially on shortage to set price. What do you do if something is abundant? Do you pay for air? No. If energy was as plentiful as air, would you pay for it? No.

We can do this. We are literally swimming in energy right now. It is merely unusable with our current infrastructure, which relies on short supply/labor intensive coal oil and nuclear fuel, even though these things pollute heavily and cause considerable social disturbance.

We can build 8Hz resonators for the Schuman field of earth, or use motionless electromagnetic generators, or water splitting vehicles, to efficiently [w]ring energy from this field into our cars, houses, factories. It would cost as much as the machine required to translate the energy. That cost would be expressed in hours of labor and in pounds of certain materials, and their shipping. But not by their scarcity since no scare resources would be used.

The resultant universal quality of life would be fantastic. The price of all goods would become insubstantial. Your strength would be meaningless in labor. 3D printing nanorobotics could produce all the organized goods we need, leaving us to do computer codework, engineering, or various manual labor, all of which would be equally as free of non-apparent/compensated material value.

Autotrust Companies?

[cont from title link...] Which raises an important point. Can an automaker or a company become a trust by itself, if it is large enough? Can a company of a certain size depending on the market automatically be a trust, regardless of their economic activity, based on the laws of capitalism and standard industry business model?

Whose authority is it to adjudicate international companies guilty of breaking this law? Certainly it must be the World Court, or signatory members of the public World Trade Organization, or a UN Business branch, complete with customer/worker's Bill of Rights.

...or in a world democracy, a referendum jury of the citizens of the countries in which the company does business, weighted by amount of business in $ done in each country, and the level at which the company's entire market share affects business in each country.

This includes companies with a major ownership share in one another. I must call for the analysis of the world investment map. It may become necessary to classify extremely wealthy companies or company-umbrella-conglomerations as individual organizations and determine their ownership of assets to constitute a monopoly or not. As well, a group of companies that own a large enough portion of a market, but which are themselves owned or primarily invested in by an individual or family, or 'investment group' of individuals should be analyzed for breach of contract, classification as 'government' due to the power of their wealth, and counseled or scheduled for legitimacy of owning such a large portion of world power and wealth independent of the laws restraining and defining governments. If these people or companies constitute a 'world government' by wealth and ownership, they shall be subject to the laws defining and organizing any government.

'I admit it' Music: Vocal Trance - Matt Darey Feat Marcella Woods

Political Hotwire

This raises certain questions, if these megacompanies or megainvestors do exist. Because the laws of any single nation cannot rule the entire world, and because of the massive and compelling and frankly *vital* amount of wealth these people or companies control, are they governments? They may control an amount of world resources that are critical assets for the survival of large portions of the human population. If you or your investment group owns some $10 trillion dollars, you are bound by certain responsibilities in the same way that people are bound to the earthen land that you own.

If this corporate bloc decided to stop production, dramatically shift production, or left for Ghana, they could easily replace the majority of West Africa and set up world industry there instead. they would have the power to attract skilled workers from the whole globe and menial workers from anywhere they choose. They would have the money to purchase influence and to work around and through nearly any law they desire.

Do these people exemplify capitalism and the frank right or ability to own enough of the world to excess that it destroys or could destroy others who do not own its money? Tens of millions of people die of lacks in food, medical attention, shelter, and an unimaginable amount of pain and mental anguish result from shortage every year. So long as this corporate bloc has control of this material, they are liable for creating these shortages, as the people in those spaces have *no alternative* but death, as a result of excessive ownership.

I will see you in court.

RFID Ordering At Bars

"All good reasons to put off fighting your way to the bar if you're a University of Westminster student on a night out. But now the students' union thinks it's found a way for drinkers to escape a busy bar and still get a round in - thanks to RFID tables that deliver orders remotely."

I believe this is a good idea for many crowded locations, but the idea was first thought of by one Stephen Colbert in his speech for President Bush. 'Just speak into the table number, someone from the NSA will be over with your order right away.'

This could be a fine idea if it is bound to the table and secured by a second confirmation button. Maybe a small LED backlit screen. Radio frequency communication by electronics is a fine idea, and I'd like to see RFID phones.

Resources

The crunch is over the world's resources. All politics is a filter through which that competition is based. The average citizen is non-competetive for these resources and believes in the power of God, humanity, and technology to adequately supply the world from our stocks of resources feasibly forever.

We need to apportion world resources and study and apply programs for them to be managed properly not most profitably. Money is labor, and resources are finite. An infinite amount of labor is worthless if resources are destroyed. Do not bulldoze crops.

The world is a replenishing breadbasket, but it is also a golden goose. If we cut it open to get everything we will destroy it and ourselves. However, we can cultivate this goose and the universe to last us literally for all time, or until God calls us all home.

A National Sales Tax

"I oppose the Fair Tax (National Sales Tax)

I am deeply dismayed that this kind of tax is being proposed. This is a flat tax, and not only that, but it is an excuse to examine what everyone in America spends their money on. Moreover, it will further seperate the classes and will raise the cost of living without adequately funding the Congress.

If you would establish not-for-profit state run industries instead, they could provide increased employment, decrease the cost of living, instill economic and industrial competition in our national brands, and allow us to modify and lead the market by example directly from the state.

Consider it."

Democommunism

We've got a unique situation right now. The Cuban government is at a place where they can change their view of communism substantially. Unfortunately, they have never experienced communism.

All demonstrated national communisms have been nothing more than benevolent monarchies. -William Bunker

These are not good enough. Rule by military force is unacceptable. Rule by bloc power is unacceptable. Rule emanates from the people, and the people must be able to democratically interact with their communism. However, the commune must not be affected by corrupting factors. "Elections" and not appointments must happen, and those elections must be state-funded, not privately funded. There is nothing noble in communism about having acquired lots of money. Honor is in what you have done with that money to serve others and what you would do with resource to serve more.

Private business from normal capitalism may interexperience or do business with a communism, but the people buy as a whole, like a massive commune-wide [national] union, credit union, and buyer's coop. The nation gets the best price.

The way resources should be culled and organized in a commune is by state-run business, overlapping a quasi-capitalist free market. The state's resource sector will mine and cultivate the area's natural resources, work up and have and operate factories and even commercial sectors, work with schools to train and gain skilled employees to work with the macroeconomic system, and do everything a business would do except take profit [from the communers] and overcompete, and do nothing extra except provide high personal consumption quotas for those low non-competetive, not-for-profit prices.

95% consumption goods, which 95% of the population uses, will be provided basically free, free, or free-by-assessment [IMF style interview and plans] to everybody alive in the place. State run business can provide basic goods and services for anyone. State run businesses will also give the state much greater and faster response to emergencies, and cement much of their economy into basic goods instead of credit currencies or inflationary itemization. All work and resources [money] that can be had can be shared at a very stable and predictable credit rating without high liklihood of crashing or other economic fiascos and pronounced business cycles.

This does not rule out corporations, though. Private companies can work in competition with the state-run business up to a certain size [income level] before automatically becoming more closely associated with the state, with certain private business reservations and multiple holding limitations. This automatically breaks all trusts and publishes all financial reports publicly, and places them into public hands and handling.

The commune can be 'paid' taxes in labor, in its own resources, or in money. The state, to perform services, does not need to do so much dealing in currency or payroll. It will instead own and provide the resources by organization or any project, such as a dam or a highway or a new factory or neighborhood, and call up citizens to do some of that work by their skill and training and area, and a number of other personal preferences. Do you like to travel?

Curiosity-based education, totally free to the top 75% of students and all those performing above a certain educational threshhold, will be linked to the industry's accreditation, licensing, and degree programs, and also to many state and a sea of private public service, civic, and artistic business operations.

This unique style can allow certain technological advances to be utilized. Vaporizing carburaters have been examined at 171mpg performance. State-run industry would cut their standard fuel consumption to about 10% by using these carburaters. They can also make excellent use of biodiesel fuel resources by making the vehicles run on biodiesel from the factory where they are tuned. Using special electrolysis, welding can make carbon fiber car bodies and alternative possibilities cheap, eliminating the need for a large amount of state-steel. Buildings and neighborhoods can be designed to be earth-friendly, making use of structural ferrocement, natural light earth sheltering, wind farming, and suburban, rural, and urban greenhousing. Air conditioning [and heating] can be run on a neighborhood level using geothermal and geostorage temperature systems. No company stands to make a massive profit from increased fuel or energy consumption. Even the factories can be roboticisized without fear of producing a 'shortage' of labor to be done by humans.

Farming practices can be modernized [de-modernized?] to make efficient and clean use of land and resources to produce delicious and safe foods. Lack of supercompetetive advertising and signage, even on foods, will reduce the need for artificial colorings and flavorings and extra packaging. It will reduce the level of advertising for sugary or addictive soda-waters or snacks. Organic foods with few or no preservatives can be served even in free school lunch programs, also open to the public for a small fee.

Big business franchisee Mcfood chains seen in capitalist markets will not be duplicated and local businesses and restaurants, as well as local state businesses. They can afford to give more of their economic attention to their food and service and less to international advertising and branding.

Communications power will originate with the people and public performance groups will replace the majority of major dramatic/Hollywood stardom. Commune-wide cinema and art can provide the stamina for big-budget productions while local civic dramatic production should be recorded and televised! State-run DSL is a 95% commodity, and phone systems will run through the same network system, or through radio relay via software defined radio.

Certain power plants and types of power plants can be decommissioned and neighborhood-level power facilities can be established, possibly using biofuelcells. This will eliminate a large amount of waste, irradiation, and pollution and place power control in local hands.

High technology laboratories can get busy researching whatever students and scientists want to research, spurred on by the state and public service usefulness, but not by major corporations looking to make money, have an illegal monopoly, or hook people on a product or maintenance-cure. Scholars will be driven on by public service, creativity, curiosity, and a high commune-wide standard of living and confidence.

In dealing with non-commune entities, commune industries will export products and negotiate the outsourcing of production of commune-held products and international licenses. Trade with foreign communes will be on a high usefulness/technology export basis, and on a needs-in basis. Tourism as well can be stimulated by artistic performance, international civility, high technology transportation and production, and major business agreements. If the nation becomes so fantastic that they can support themselves and have extra leftover, education donation and aid programs will be organized to the world by need and effectiveness of aid.

This could be Cuba in 20 years. It could be the world.

Artificial Competition

A company owning numerous individual companies that compete against one another creates an artificial reduction in competition. That is an internal trust. A company must display the name of their parent company on their labeling or signage.

The majority of the world's economic market is controlled by perhaps 5 companies. Many companies [even individual companies] have economies larger than countries such as Denmark or Venezuela.

Ford and Death

Ford invested in larger SUVs in the late 1990's, along with most American automakers. Clearly aware of peak oil as all such professional automakers, financial analysts, geologists, and industry and political leaders should have been, they chose to invest against the math.

Now they face decreased market competivity in an increasingly educated, active, and discerning consumer field, while Asian-corp vehicles are giving [just barely] more efficient and somewhat cheaper and more reliable products, and taking a larger share of the market.

Ford and GM actually own certain extremely efficient patents. Will those patents go on their auction block, or will they break out the Pogue carb and water fracturing and other high efficiency technologies they have been hoarding away from their competition? The choice is not in my hands, and the 10-year results will be the same.

I recommend these automakers become truthful about their patent holdings and make use of them this quarter. For the good of earth and for the good of the market.

Industrial Conditions

Please examine this video on industrial economic conditions in the 3rd world and the solution in response.

I recently wrote to Old Navy and Gap companies about their worker conditions. Their response letters were remarkably similar! I wonder if they have gathered together to help organize their commercial efforts in a way that would artificially affect prices, or if they are actually owned by the same corporation.

Hello Old Navy representative!

I am interested in knowing more about your manufacturing partners'
working conditions. I represent consumers who care about the economic
and social conditions their human partners experience, and who will
tailor their purchases to help them. Is Old Navy a company that helps
its workers live above the poverty line, or attain a good life as
defined by International and UN standards? I like doing business with
companies that treat their partners fairly.
Thank you for your interest!

Dear William,
Thank you for your inquiry about the treatment of workers and the factories that make our clothes. We share your concern, as this is also a very important matter to us. We want our products to be made in a safe and humane environment, and we've devoted significant amounts of time, money and energy toward improving factory conditions and the lives
of garment workers.

We're committed in our efforts. Nearly a decade ago, we created a Code of Vendor Conduct establishing our principles and the expectations we have for factories that produce our clothes. Today we have one of the most comprehensive factory monitoring programs in the apparel industry with more than 90 employees around the world who are devoted to
improving the factories in which our products are made. We make both announced and surprise visits that include interviewing workers, reviewing documents, inspecting health, safety and labor conditions, and more. In addition, we work closely with nonprofit and governmental
organizations, independent monitors and community leaders, striving to promote change through greater collaboration among all concerned stakeholders.

We'd like to share more about our program with you, and we invite you to visit our web site at:

William Bunker:
"I know that factory workers receive a substantially tiny fraction of garment sales, regardless of the practices made to improve their conditions. I would like you to commit to price as a standing multiple of worker salary, or worker salary as a standing fraction of garment price. This number could be 10% of end price, but currently it ranks in the lowest single digits, with the greatest share of price going to marketing and profit. This effect will substantially improve the lives of many workers in Indonesia and other nations who make about half the poverty level of income.

The current system is unacceptable to consumers. I am pleased that you share our concern. Please publish this worker/price ratio figure on your product labeling.

Thank you for your concern!

David Rockefeller says this:

"For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."

The current system is unacceptable to consumers. I am pleased that you share our concern.

Market Colonialism

The title link is a video of working contracts in Indonesia. Companies set up conduct policies, but Indonesia is run by the International Monetary Fund and World Bank and their sponsor companies such as Gap, Old Navy, and other apparel companies. The factories and warehouses routinely work employees under the projected conduct to make export deadlines. They also tell their employees not to reveal infractions. They have punishments.

Many people step up to the wonder of the world, large beautiful cities and great power and wealth, and they do not look back. They live a comfortable luxurious life and do not look back, they do not look underneath.

It is what is underneath that counts. If you live on injustice, on the backs of the innocent poor, any beauty you produce is tied also to that evil that produced it, even if physical strings draw back to the hand of that child, it is still his or hers. The great cities of the world are built by the blood of the innocent. They are filthy with it. The vast piles of wealth of the world are all stolen with the hands of the impoverished still attached to them.

How filthy is that?

The world belongs to humanity. Dispense it equally. Those who do not contribute their honest portion, that small pittance of real labor required from each to the great task of supporting us all with earth's help by God's grace, they are criminals. The axe is hanging above their heads. It is by God's mercy that their own misdeeds are not against themselves directly. Their justice is delayed momentarily, in mercy, without destroying its justness, until their case can be settled by their mind and their life.

This is a horrible situation to hear for a person who is honestly good. An honest and good person deserves no such judgement. It pains them to see that wrong has been done and because they are good they seek to right it and extend the realm of their own justice and goodness through it. Jesus Christ forgives that injustice at the beat of a repentant heart.

Please, be that repentant heart!! Please, allow God to restore those whom you have wronged, and to restore you if you have wronged. Acts done in greed and wrath and hubris are not the justice of God. As god made Moses' hand leperous for a moment to show Pharoah his power, so has the world been made horrible for a time, to show God's power. But God can heal us instantly as he healed Moses.

Ask for this healing.

This is the ground-floor consequence of IMF/WB contracts and Neo-Conservative policies. I believe we should provide goodness and righteousness and fairness to these people, and to our brothers and sisters in humanity. Love your neighbor as you love yourself. Do, love yourself.

In other situations, we have changed a nation's laws and economic foundations to give us a better market position. Costa Rica was forced to sell of its national lumber at very low rates, and now they have very few trees.

Large established and state-sponsored companies often go into Iraq or Africa with low wide prices from paid-off infrastructure and full credit from states and out-compete local businesses. Then they can raise prices or buy their foreign competetors for stock-bottom prices. This destroys foreign businesses, makes foreigners reliant on American and western companies, and pays us a boussant or a bonus price for our goods out of their pockets. Because of loan repayment, 70% of Pakistan's GDP goes to foreign countries. What they have left does not support a school system, and public fuel prices have risen considerably. This destroys the quality of life of the average Pakistani.

Now, the IMF money stolen by Suharto in Indonesia is being repaid by the Indonesian people. This is continuined sucking and neocolonialism. Financial colonialism is very similar to conventional national slavery. Both should be stopped. The ones 'at the top' answer to God, not to no one.

This is neocolonialism, and it is a largely concealed enterprise from those not in power who benefit from it. Those who do benefit from it while being in power, they help orchestrate the system.

This rift between those who benefit and know, and those who benefit and don't know, it must be fully breached before the situation can be righted.

Retirement

Because of numerous economic factors configuring into an unpleasant picture, I recommend that Americans, all Americans, review their investment and retirement strategies. This weekend. Or today if you have Friday off.

Www.silverandgold2007.blogspot.com details investment potentials and probabilities. Do not shift your retirement into a market-sensitive 401k. The market is not stable and your retirement will be lost. Companies, do not provide this retirement option to employees, your matchings will be lost, and your employees will suffer economically.

Individuals who plan to or are saving to retire, I recommend you shift the majority [60%] of your retirement savings to personal accounts. The remainder I would shift from investment in the general stock market to investing in selected futures and possibly into retirement real estate, after completing a study of the market's in depth 5-year and 10-year forecasts.

Please, do these things and save yourself a lot of money.

Planned Economics and "Free" Economics

Free market produces the illusion of an unplanned economy. It is silly to believe that almost any economy is 'unplanned'. They all are planned, but simply not by the state, directly. The free market economy is comprised of several major companies and the Federal Reserve money printing system. Currently we base our money around credit and oil. We used to center industry and wealth around industrial base to a far greater extent, but in the 1980's and 1990's we began outsourcing the cheap labor to save money at the risk of placing industry overseas. This began and continued a massive international investment, including the IMF, WB, and other 'world-conquering' techniques.

Also, if a country owes you $20 billion, they cannot become communist like the rival Soviet Union, and upon their failure to repay, you get to shift their market and budgets to be both favorable to you [US/Britain] and away from the Soviet-style [non-populist, also frees up money for taking].

Automakers and oil companies and manufacturers all work with the FCC and the state and the boards of industry and elite groups and industry trusts to ensure that they produce a kind of planned economy that they like. They could allow the greatest technology and other economic factors to reign, but they have collected a planned economy. Numerous industry laboratories organize to ensure that their plan is used and not others. That is a planned economy. DuPont worked with the state to ban industrial hemp so their paper treating chemical could become profitable. That is a planned economy. The American and western economies do this extensively. Finance has the entire 3rd world economy and all debt wrapped up in their company's coffers.

Free market economics are well planned. They are planned by the interests of wealthy individuals not held accountable to the people.

Linden Labs

I am really excited about applying for a job to Linden Labs! Wish me luck, world!

Debts

I have come to the conclusion that according to the American economy, debt is profit. Through finance and the central banking industry / Federal Reserve, and our lending institutions, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and international corporations sponsored through weapons deals and contracts, we are playing ball with ourselves and giving the tab to other countries or to a 'basically imaginary' hole of debt which we never intend to truly repay.

We spend extra money and finance the money from China or another lendor, or the Fed, which is a private company that simply prints 'extra' money, or dillies, or bonds, or I.O.U.'s, which are technically good as cash and have market value and can be traded or bought or sold, and even with interest collected upon them so they not only beat inflation but with floating lending rates, can provide a plausable return rate, which is dictated by the central bank, a private company.

We accumulate this debt, or finance, and we give the real money we print to a company such as Bechtel or Halliburton, which is given work in a foreign land that we mess up or with some other contract organizing resources. That is three forms of income. #1: Debt. #2: the income that the money is paid for, which we borrow. #3: the natural resource or labor that is accumulated through the work. Or possibly a condition we appreciate, such as a weapons platform in the hands of an ally, or a producing oil field, aka capital, which can then be used to make even more money.

Furthermore, all oil sales are made in dollars worldwide, even from Nigeria to Sweden. Dollars. That is money traded, exchanged through American banks, who take a profit. It is highly enriching for Americans that the world remain in a petrodollar situation, and that the world remain reliant on oil through oil-burning automobiles and factories and fuel systems, and even inefficiently, so that more oil can be traded instead of less, and more petrodollars spent, especially when there is a shortage and the price increases considerably.

This is why you get so many offers for credit cards and why the credit limit is so high, and why it has been made difficult to declare bankruptcy, and probably why the American government has such a very high debt level, and why they continue to get away with this growing debt, and how it remains seemingly profitable to spread this money out, and make such extra work for oneself. It is more profitable through this triple economy to make more work than to solve the problem.

I estimate that the US economy is actually, then, only earnestly one third as large as these bankers numbers extrapolate. The real figure is probably 2/5-3/5, as it usually seems to be.

For sources, see Alan Greenspan's currency estimation, the federal reserve's estimation on recession in the coming half decade, investigate peak oil, the WB, IMF, PNAC, see the video by democracynow! about John Perkins, ex-economic hit man for the CIA, Aaron Russo's videos on the Federal Reserve, a blue monkey, and also my left shirt pocket. You may also find Noam Chomsky's economics invigorating, and also data on freeganism.

"This didn't have to be about to happen."

Did it?

You may also note that retired CIA folks have said that 'for 2007' is when 'all parties in the world intend to lay their cards on the table'.

Various Social Commentary

I am dismayed by the process of hiring and beauracracy present in the hiring process of many large businesses. To apply for work at such a place it often requires a 30 minute ordeal of filling out forms, finding paperwork, etc. It should be made abundantly simple for the applicant. Filling out the paperwork correctly is not part of the application process.

Intent to work can be easily specified in person or by electronic media. A consent to a background check, drug screen, etc can all be organized into a 'single checkbox', along with the statement of being aware of rights. Position applied for or general application can me signified in a similar box. Complete work history is a background check, and notable work history should be the only real thing the applicant must assign.

Vital papers need not be produced immediately, and are also likely part of a background checking process, so they can be kept private until consent is given either upon verbal confirmation from the company or background checking agency, or during the interview process, depending on direction of interest.

But filling out a massive form series, checkboxes of are you are of your rights, you chose yes, is this correct, etc, it is degrading and an insulting waste of time for a worker to go through. While we're here let's add the option of joining unions while applying. I would rather see an interview, even in recorded or typewritten format, than a string of radio button questions or touch-tone answers for recorded questions. This can make the process of finding good employees easier for businesses and the process of ffinding a good company to work with easier for a worker.

Let's work on making that happen before fiscal 2007 arrives.

Investment and Market

Unregulated free wealth is not often charitable wealth, especially in business. investors expect return on their investments, which destroys the usefulness of the science in most cases, and which stagnates business and science progress in an anticompetetive place without the option of public review.

the better answer for investment is broadly spread wealth, with numerous beneficiaries contributing to scientific progress and programs. This way the wealth and return of a program is more widely distributed and jointly owned or supported. This can easily shift it to the public sector where it can be best used and developed, like freeware, or maintained by a public ordinance, like power and road companies, which should functionally be not-for-profit state organizations.

Negative Advertising

If you read this businessweek article, some people are just now realizing that some advertising is annoying and prevents customers from purchasing their products. That could be the synopsis of the whole article. Some commercials and branding are unattractive to people and they do not want to be exposed to it. Should they be forced to, in the same way that non-smokers are sometimes exposed to cigarette smoke? Well, are there obvious negative health effects from bad advertising? Irritation, biochemical and neurochemical strains, some minor consequences. It's probably no worse than radiation from a CRT tube for the duration of the commercial... which is not nothing.

But will this make you money, or bring you international distaste? No more bad ads. No more 'forced' ads. Reduced ads. Life sells itself.

Robotic Carwash Park

Hoboken's city evicted the techs and company of a Clearwater, FL robotic parking company, taking with them their manuals and such. So the robot was deactivated. The town had to use the software to get the robot to relinquish the cars. The company said they used the software without license. Both sued.

This case is imminent domain style. The cars, belonging to private citizens, and agreed to among the citizen's parking agreement [with intent to recover] have been waylaid by the company's failure to operate. They can be charged backcharges and holding fees of a civil amount/s, plus any other expenses accrued by loss of vehicle, or the town can use its right of civil authority to move the robot and free the cars.

The town clearly cannot just use the software willy nilly without a license. But to free cars, this is a civic matter, not one of business. The company should lose their license and pay court fees. The town unfortunately evicted them, so they have a precedent in that case. Depending on the terms of the eviction they may be totally right or partially wrong. In either case the software would need to be used in an emergency fashion to remove the cars.

Upon closer examination of the orders of eviction, depending on violations by the company, which could have forced them to forfeit their rights and effected emergency removal free of charge. If the company was wrongfully evicted, which seems unlikely, they could recoup license fees and certain profit-lost fees from the town. If the town acted within its own laws in evicting the company the town is right.

No. 3 Computer Makers Drops 89% of Profit

Wow, that is a substantial drop. this is profit? $ coming in after expenses? that's not so bad.

They should innovate. I recommend they begin working on linux2 and see if they can get a groovy state deal with India or Bulgaria, or another country that provides all free software.

They could try providing pre-tweaked computer sets and OS's. This will make their chips appear *much* more attractive. Perhaps 40% more attractive on the same hardware, reducing cost. They don't need to have the very latest labs or hardware synthesis. They can get by as well or better than the top competetor with better *software*, not necessarily better labs.

This could save them millions of dollars, but it is a gamble. They will need to improve customer service and provide pre-tweaked OS's, which might come from microsoft, might come from Linux2. Linux2 would be cheaper, but the consumer could also request their os.

Getting ~4ghz out of 3ghz chips would be an excellent choice, especially for a cost-saving company.

Making the linux2 examined in Super Science could take perhaps 8 months or less for the first generation to be functional.

Dude This is Frisky

Duran Duran are playing virtual concerts within Second Life on the internet. Second Life is that features avatar online world playing game where you get to make and be some dude or chick and go around getting funky stuff.

Did you know that some Chinese folk actually make a living by collecting and selling virtual video game items and selling them on Ebay? They'll go dungeon hunting for a Fire Sword +10 and sell it on Ebay for like 10 days salary in rural China to some dude from SF. It's nuts.

Dude, I might just sign up for Second Life. It's so crazy, but I hear that make you pay for something.

Silicon Valley Part 2: With Benefits

I want to extol* upon the new silicon valley tpyes, the Youtube, the Google, the YourCompanyHere and all the bloggers.

Please, be conscious and be diligent. Do not buy into the system, even if the system buys into you. I see you on the covers of magazines, I see you on wall street and in the newses. You've got power. You've got funk. You've even got edge. Keep it with us. The Ceasar should work to improve the station of all humanity. To protect the world from corruption and expose it. To strengthen the spiritual and educated and to guide the philosophers.

Make wherever you go yours, if you are from God. Do not be theirs. Get it on film.

To be proud is to die. To be subservient is weakness. To be kind is praise to God.

*don't fret. be good in spirit.

China To Unionize Walmart

"the only thing better for workers than unions is state-owned, market-run businesses. now that's regulation of interstate commerce."

I am also interested in raising the minimum wage in America. It should be tied to inflation and also to an admissable standard of living. Chicago should set the example for the country with their recent 'living minimum wage' sentiment.

State-run business can also provide needed competition in commercial sectors with high rates of corporate profit. They would be state not-for-profit businesses, and tailor their prices and employment standards to meet needs, not make maximum buck. Their presence would force private business to compete with the state business in an open market, where the state business is backed by the people and can provide emergency equipment and lowest prices for basic goods, reducing the cost of living and giving the state greater ability to serve, and employ.

Internet Shifts to Advertising Revenue

Aol has stopped charging for broadband, and are now relying entirely on ads for income. Sensible. Hopefully this will expand the use of the all communicating internet. It may also help telecomms realize that the internet is a flat-rate call, and help humans communicate with one another, possibly speeding up the date at which all humanity will have heard of Jesus Christ.

Net Neutrality

The internet is a flat rate call.

Taxation, FED, and Representation

What is fascism anyway? Mussolini style-fascism is corporate government.

Many don't recognize that the Federal Reserve was given the authority to make America's money in 1913. The Fed is a private company, not a state institution. They are owned by numerous private individuals who are investors who have their hand basically on the top of America's head.

Circumstantially, in 1902~ a law to limit income tax at 2% was rejected as ludacris because they thought tax would never get that high. Also circumstantially, taxation should take the place of semi-mandatory charity and regulation of commerce in a way, and Congress' funds should be given in the form of charity through works for the state and for the people, focusing on those who need charity before those who want tax services. Secondarily, there is no law regarding taxation of populace except the Congress' regulation of interstate commerce, which would cover only commerce crossing state lines.

Also note the collusion between government and corporations, emphasized by this relationship of printing money as a private corporation. The state is a private organization enveloping a public system, and is overlapping the fundamental founding principles of this state, which has not grown along with private enterprise sufficient to control it.

US Hid costs of Iraq

If Enron did this they would face charges. Since George W Bush and the Pentagon did this they will face charges.

Also, Halliburton losing $8.8 billion of this money should be audited. As well as initial claims of ~$150B range cost tag should face repercussions. And soldiers entering Iraq without enough water, ammunition, without body armor, vehicle armor, or comrades. And for entering in the first place. See Tactical Edge on Iraq. Also, US Military executive-level brass, you're fired. This will affect your credit rating.

Deatomization

People who live in a non-atomized social environment are more able to entertain themselves, work well, and find meaning without using as many resources and with less stuff.

Un-Halloween

I have a bunch of candy I'm trying to give away. I have decided I will go un-trick or treating, and give properly wrapped candy away to people from a bag door to door! It will so work!! And it will give me several chuckles!!! Success.

I've also noticed that India and recently Bulgaria have decided to make all their software free. This is a very fine and wise choice and I commend any country and company to follow their example.

Double Digits Growth

If we had a single currency, what would change?

How many jobs would be lost among moneychangers? How much money would be lost among these people? Considerable losses would be experienced.

However, how much money would be saved? How many such people could shift employment from moneychanging to money-creating?

Our economy, the world economy, is backed into a theoretical corner. We cannot possibly make enough money, take enough money from other people, to justify our own existance. We thrive on waste, not on production. What good is 1000 SUV's if there is no one to buy them, you ask? I tell you, chop those SUVs up and make your dinner, make a microwave, you own the factories that make the products. You own the land that grows the food. Do it.

With this infrastructure, we could easily organize the world into production instead of trade. Employees would have little difficulty being motivated to help society in the variable modes of production instead of the production of trade. We're running out of trade. We have the opportunity instead to have an at-will economy stimulated by the history and gentle framework of trade.

We know what people want, because they are human and deserve a quality of life. They have obvious chemical systems and mental background that establishes their economy desires. We've marketed and studied this well enough that life should sell itself. Love should guide trade, not advertising. Let's build the efficient vehicles that everyone wants and get trade out of the way of communication and transportation. Let's grow the food that everyone plainly needs. The farmers know. Let them be compensated with whatever they need in earnest.

We have the technology to build a production economy. The efficiencies will be dramatic. I am estimating a 25% growth rate from these efficiencies effective almost immediately, as a worldwide regional average. We can make energy almost effortlessly. We can build vehicles that run on almost effortless energy. We can produce as much food as we need. We can make industrial products without forseeable limit using robotics. We can easily and much more quickly train technicians and engineers to use and manipulate the new tech machines. We can distribute it seamlessly.

Can we control the justice of who gets? Yes. A criminal does not get, because they are kept in rehabilitation, where they are stringently controlled. An economic glutton would not get because of distribution regulation quotas by governing body of industry. The wasting of industrial goods is unacceptable. That person must be voluntarily better educated. We cannot control people with their costs, that is untenable and a massive drag on anything good. We cannot control them with a universal ID, that is invasive and unloving. Everyone should be known, not stamped.

I believe that those given the opportunity to help produce will do so. I believe that theft will be eliminated if everything is ~free and all needs are met.

Is this similar to the Revelation New Jerusalem? Perhaps. If that city comes first, let it be and praise the Lord!! I do not know how wonderful it will be. But if we must still wait, let this system be put in place. Please use the systems described in these webrings on the right to assemble and organize this production society.

Life Sells Itself

I call for a massive reduction in the amount of advertising and the perfusion of marketing.

Because Life Sells Itself! [TM]

-William Bunker

Also, note that 3Q06 forecasts are officially down and 2Q06 performance is flagging.

Alan Greenspan has noted that there is 'a 75% chance of an economic meltdown in the US in the next 5 years.' Furthermore, over 100% of our new economic growth is in the form of debt.

Please adjust your corporations accordingly. Please, release technology to allay this and future economic woes. [Babylon? Where exactly is Babylon?] God of all the earth, creator of all things, would be honored by your charity of good leadership.

Cat and Girl

"If money creates possibility... then wealth is the volume of possibilities squandered. Wealth is the accumulation of irrelevance."

Technically God creates possibility and our work makes it real. But money goes in place of work. How then can one have one billion dollars of work? That is impossible for any man to accomplish. It is not his but the good of the society he moves with, the human race in ways. All good things, for all good things come from God. Using his or her money for anything but good is indolence and thanklessness. I have the impression due to the vast quantities of poverty and international sanctioned economic fraud that much money, much work, is being used not for good.

The main focus, though, is on double-use of money, through lending institutions. They seem to have hundreds of billions lent to numerous agencies, including the United States government. I disagree that the US Government can continually run creditors for years, nor should be allowed to function continually with massive outstanding deficits, regardless of the immediate circumstances, for twenty years or more at a time without a plan or schedule to finish off the loans. Where will America be in 2010? 2020? At this rate without a peak oil crisis, the country will be in terminally unpayable debt. We are borrowing against our own future and present by having such high debt, and continuing to collect more. The present rate of growth will not supercede the future payments to ourselves and international lending institutions. Even if we could, a steadier and more apparent rate of growth would be fabulous. If our standard of living were improving steadily or at all, such loanage might be excusable, but it is not. Our quality of living, our median wage, our everything is slipping away. These loans are good money after bad, and systemic changes must be made in our own economy to make us fiscally and socially solvent. I do not refer to IMF-style adjustments. I refer to a shaking of those who control the money, those who print the money, those who decide where the money goes and how industry shall operate. They must change their ways, for their debt has grown in impudence and their responsibility to humanity must be fulfilled, regardless of who fills those shoes.

Live fearlessly at all times. That is best, and certainly better than living with any fear. Do what is good and feel what is right.

$ News

A financial analyst as senior as Paul Volcker, Alan Greenspan's immediate predecessor as chairman of the Federal Reserve, recently confessed "that he thought there was a 75% chance of a currency crisis in the United States within five years."

>100% of our new economic growth is debt. In this economy it is fiscally attractive for the US to accumulate large amounts of debt, because the loans they take go directly back into economies that fund America, such as the petrodollar, the IMF/WB operations, US foreign aid coming back in the form of arms deals and engineering projects, etc. Unfortunately this is simultaneously fiscally destroying us. ~48% of our economy is devoted to military spending measures, including pensions, and not counting social security as a portion of the usable economy.

CIA analysis have said that '2007 is the year everyone plans to put all their cards on the table.' I do not like this, but I tell you because I love you. Yes, you. America is likely not counting the shells nor cards after 2007, and planning economically to have the maximum fiscal capital and most money on its soil at that point, which accounts for huge debt, which is avalanching right on schedule into insolvency and economic collapse. Patience?

The Economic Expression of Love

The economy represents, for workers and good folk, a desire to do good. A pure form of this expression is working as public service. Another good form is working to earn money to pay for the needs of a family and others. Another is to pay for the self to not be a burden on others' work and fortunes. These are good goals and their expressions will most likely be good to society, and the desire for them honors God.

This desire makes the economy. We need to rearrange the way we express this desire from economic methods to functional methods. For example, while still desiring to perform public service and help support the needs of others, I should seek to build a machine that will split water into hydrogen. Procuring this hydrogen gas to have it perform the work that I might personally do is good, and leaves me able to do other things, such as study medicine or programming, skills that hydrogen cannot do, but which also serve society and others.

Dell and Verizon

Please note that Dell and Verizon have overcharged 11,000 customers $24M+ to the tune of up to hundreds of dollars each. This can be presumed an accounting accident, but it shows the companies as less credible and more irresponsible.

Consumers should be wary of Telcommm companies, and consider alternatives to or ending cellular phone contracts because of verified health risks about cellular phone rays and their high level of expense. A Russian team found that cellular phones can cook an egg hard boiled in 65 minutes. How many minutes have you been billed for?

Where Taxes Go

Federal Budget appears to be ~48% military.

Money and Freedom

The American Revolution has been subverted directly by money. Our voices and well beings are endangered and overshouted by the prospect of gathering huge sums of wealth and resources. These organizations themselves are not 'bad', but the way they are used and their probable intentions by the result of their actions is ungodly.

We are influenced by the World Bank and international fiscal organizations who disrupt world economies and force governments to stop providing care for their own people. By the Democratic and Republican poilitical parties and their contributors, who subvert the will of the people for money. We are subject to the desires and efforts of massive worldwide corporations whose goal is collecting maximum money before fairness and liberty.

The time is quickly coming when money will be substantially less important because of the miracle of water fracturing. This opportunity can be used to replace the damage of supercapitalism [world dominating fiscal control] with the benefits and peace inherent in limitless free energy.

Big/Small Economy/Government

We can do more with less.

There is no need to have a massive infrastructure system with large inefficient processes making ineffective drugs or vehicles, saddling consumers with high cost of living and complicated lives. The 'benefits' to a large [per capita] economy is the production of more jobs and a milking of those who can afford to purchase more goods and more luxurious goods.

However, the poor are hit as low quality or simple or efficient goods are often replaced or repressed. The creation of numerous inefficient jobs leads to economic 'depression' or loss of economic density as the effectiveness of industry and the budget sags. There may be economic deflation, loss in employment density, loss in quality of life, substantial increases in cost of living without corresponding quality of life improvements, or reduction in quality of workmanship.

Having an economy that produces much more efficient systems, or more durable products with fewer sales, will indeed produce fewer jobs per production. However, they can afford to have more productions. Need for jobs should fuel this economy, not need for goods. By trying to meet the demand for jobs and for growth by producing ever more weak-batch/filler economy, we are degrading our economy and degrading our society.

We can do more to support people's desire to work and their quality of life by stimulating curiosity-based education programs. We can replace necessary work with robotics and give people the opportunity to be artisans, farmers, engineers, technicians, inventors, all such things.

Incorporating a hydrogen economy to help perform all laborious tasks, humans will be left in the dust. Robotics will produce the majority of goods, 3D printers will do much technical assembly. Miners and technicians can procure goods. Computerized hydroponics can grow our food and maglev trainsets can ferry goods about. Regional distribution centers and internet commerce can replace the majority of retail.

People can be free to play more sports. A working man's dollar can go 6 times farther because he has 5 robots to back him up. The state can incorporate some of these technologies and industries to regulate the market and corporations. Humans can begin a lifetime job of construction, which robots are less able to perform, social sphere and servicework including internet salesmanship/education, certain medical guidance, counseling and education, artistic expression [your marketing department], botany and farming, media and information analysis, and engineering and technicianship to build design monitor and maintain the many robots, machines, and their products.

One difficulty is the transition period between conventional capitalism and the age of economic infinity, from free energy and boundless efficiency.

"What is retiring? Play is productive and my life is play. Education is entertaining, and entertainment is play. What is getting a job? I am an apprentice at this place where they do cool stuff. I hang out there most of the day because I enjoy it and the people there. My counselor and parents referred me to the place, and I liked it. I'm glad we made it." -American born in 2002.

The 3rd world can be mobilized easily into this niche. With limitless energy it should be easy to acquire the energy and capital required to construct many things and pieces of infrastructure. Locals tired of starving and hungry for vision and jobs will leap on board appropriately designed and purposed programs to help them build buildings and hydroponics systems, learn basic medical techniques and distribute antibiotic silver colloid made in the lab in town. Carbon microtubes and silver colloid can filter seawater into drinking water.

Professionalism and Edge

There is a growing rift between professionalism and peak performance, across numerous fields. The media and industry also propagate professionalism as the ideal and as the chief market factor and invested method of a society and culture progressing in a certain way.

This suggests either a deviance of goal or lack of education for the existing professionals. The technological and educational bar is moving onwards past the existing infrastructure and fields edges. Combustion systems are being replaced by water-hydrogen. Coal oil and nuclear are being replaced by hydrogen and electromagnetics. Medical pharmaceuticals are being replaced by electrical currents, immunology, and other procedures. Yet the industries and states are rejecting these claims and studies and progressing in their own centralized paths increasingly, while the true edge of new sustainable technologies is indeed moving onwards.

This is where the rift is growing. It is unstoppable, as much as time or a raging river. I would advise industry and semi-modern society to get over itself and its circular windings and move on.

Aircraft Carrier Economics

I want you to imagine living on a massive oceanliner. This oceanliner is equipped with water splitting engines, which feed massive supercapacitors to power the ship's engines and all other equipment on board.

Near the engines there is a large metal forge which can be used to hammer out or machine metal and tools into anything necessary. There are a series of CAD machines and 3D printers which operate robotically 24 hours a day, powered by water you float in. Metal and other raw materials can be acquired or traded for at ports, which are mined by other robots and technicians.

The ship's roof is a massive greenhouse, in which fruits and vegetables of all kinds are grown, and animals are raised. On land, there exist massive hundred square mile tree farms and hemp farms and also more greenhoused farms for other people. The ship provides the majority of its own food and desalinizes seawater through a system of carbon microtubes built at a laboratory in Washington, DC which supplies much of the region with cheap desalinization equipment. Their machines are powered by hydrogen fuel from water.

The ship is peopled by technicians who operate the machines, and have in fact chosen to become apprentices on board and technicians by their own volition. The technicians operate and maintain the machines that produce machined products including all tools and parts required by the ship and its machines. The ship has communications equipment via satellite by software defined radio.

How long would it take to build this ship? We could do it in one month, aggressively. Blueprints would be formed to mirror the goals inscribed. Factories running on hydrogen would robotically produce the microchips and parts required for the job. Engineers on site in San Francisco would tool the ship together with drills and welding techniques using hydrogen flames hotter than the surface of the sun.

The building tools would be paid for by loaning use of the standing machines, powering them from free hydrogen energy acquired from the sea in an existing hydrogen splitting plant.

The technical skills would come from people desiring to live on the ship and from skilled workers at standing factories producing standard public sale equipment on loan or with capital.

The raw materials would be acquired either from the technical factory or by the builders with the use of mining and refining equipment powered by hydrogen fuel from the standing hydrogen splitting factory and using hydrogen heat from the same.

Vehicles could be crafted from carbon fiber instead of steel in the same way, and steel currently being used for vehicles could be used for these items. Or coal could be stripped for carbon and turned into stronger and lighter than steel siding for a ship and fused by welding into place.

The remaining portions of supportive society would function with hydrogen fuel to heat and light their homes and move their cars without cost but for conservation and systems maintenance. Tolls could be more effective.

Massive greenhouses built from recycled materials would eliminate the need for pesticides and substantially extend the growing season and latitude. These greenhouses, heated and irrigated with seawater, could cheaply provide the world with plentiful foodstocks.

Once the workers were done, about half would shove off and then they would begin work on more things, at a comfortable pace.

Venezuela and Market Colonialism

Venezuela is trying to build the democratic dream, a first world economy, with nuevo socialism. The more difficult parts of building such an economy are a) without the benefits of neocolonialism and b) facing those who do have the benefits of neocolonialism [~1st world].

Fortunately they have supplies of oil upon which to build the infrastructure required to build this economy. But they only have perhaps 5-10 years to do it before peak oil shows up and brings out the world economic tide. In fact, a prosperous Venezuelan economy could tilt the world towards peace and prosperity in the face of peak oil.

The tweakings with oil are uninteresting. It's capital at this point. To spend it on what, though. Venezuela could produce a world-competetive motor company, power company, or industrial manufacturing setup that will defeat the current world infrastructure. The same thing could theoretically be done in Nigeria or Iran or any other country under the thumbs of 1st world economies and who have a slice of worldpie.

If VZ were to acquire or reinvent superefficient Pogue carubraters for motors and throw together some cheap and efficient vehicles like KIAs, they could master the automotive market. Even taking 5% of the world automotive market with very high efficiency vehicles [90+mpg] or publicizing the technology would produce a shakeup in the automotive world and oil market, and could provide VZ with an industrial economy based on innovation and low overhead to contend and interact with established world economies relying on massive infrastructure.

VZ could also build power companies and supply growing Brasil and itself with non-oil power and export it instead. If they studied and researched Stanley Meyer's water splitting device they could publicize it to protect themselves and begin production. This would launch the world into the free energy era regardless of the actions of the 1st world.

VZ or any nation or NGO could begin a publication and prototype system of these revolutionary technologies. The economic revelations and adjustments made to the world by such an activity
would equalize economic performance and dramatically improve the plight of the 3rd world and mobilize the populations of the 1st world. The revolution also would be purely economic, so it would reach all corners of the globe as fast as money and approximately zero industry-standard public bullets would be fired forcefully.

Please, let the market begin.

Urban Environments and the 21st Century

Urban areas have grown due to the advancement of culture and employment in urban areas supported by shipping and ports. The persistence of cities is a peculiar anomaly. I believe their landscape, makeup, and other properties will change along with society, commerce and industry in the coming decades.

Cities are very dense areas and thusly very highly priced for real estate, and equally undesirable for these crowded and often polluted and chaotic properties. They also have numerous positive properties, such as easy and plentiful access to social elements and products and many people.

Cities were once more reliant on industrial work, but aside from shipping this work has shifted from primarily gathering around a mill to office and tech work, services, and investment class. This attracts a commercial market with more retail operation and some level of boutiqueness.

If industry changes to allow more decentralized or processed construction, industries will likely leave urban areas in favor of regional production and distribution to areas of commerce. Jobs will follow. If commercial production and industrial methodology merge more heavily through technology and infrastructure changes, the industrial factory will leave the city and take even more jobs with it to the inexpensive and idyllic countryside.

As availability of resources and spaceless marketplace and business prove economically superior and a lighter load on infrastructure and individual expense, the importance of a city will diffuse. People were previously drawn to cities because their farms were bought and the city held jobs. Now why will they go?

State Life Insurance

The state should automatically pay for a life insurance policy equal to a person's standing debt at all times to avoid related shortfalls.

Taxes

We should seriously attempt to assemble an economic program to increase taxes for the richest Americans. We should assemble economic factors from quality of life to debt to growth to war and future costs and raise these taxes and reduce our expenses. Differentiation of class, adjustment in business, investment abilities, and economic plan for the coming ten years or so.

Even if we raise rich's taxes and don't change the budget we will do better over the ten years. much of our economy growth has come from debt. It is important that debt not be profitable. That our debts not be 'reinvested' in our own economy. That dissolves the viable density of our economy and reduces our economy strength. We should raise taxes to cover our debts and reduce institutional spending without reducing healthcare, education, or construction labor.

Do Not Call List

Seems like loose change now, but the Do Not Call list is an excellent and positive way for businesses to stop wasting their own time and paper and the time and paper o their potential and non-potential customers.

**Most people who want the Do Not Call list don't want your stuff**

And it will be hard to trick them into buying it. You're probably not making money, or much money, on them. "Cold calling" as we refer to it is bogus junk. When painting, I would entirely bypass houses that clearly did not need paint. Why would I waste my own time? It might be nice to say hi to the neighbor, but would I ring their bell? The odds are low. I provide a service to people, not a harassment.

The same can be said of direct mail and phone solicitations. The federal Do Not Call list should be followed by a Do Not Mail list.

Democratic Capitalism

The results of democratic capitalism seem to be an unfair collection of wealth around a certain few at the top. This is as critically dangerous and non-water-tight as any other form of government's ills.

I believe that this kind of mercantilism cannot work. We have legally shifted beck to mercantilism from a truly free market because of the limitation of oil. Removing the economy of an enemy improves yours with more bud. I mean oil. A world of limitless economy vs a perceived and engineered world of shortage. Sterring towards peak oil is switching the world to mercantilism from capitalism. This is not legal.

Nor is it necessary. Artificial reliance on oil and artificial shortage are being imposed by megacorporations seeking to make more money on monopolies on their products.

We could have enacted anti-trust laws on vehicle companies using only oil sometime in the 1910's. Currently some company-chains have cartels. Is it legitimate to seperate a company with dotted lines across cottage components? How much stock does a company need to own in another to be considered part of that company? 50%? 25%? 5%?

We may be able to place an anti-trust suit forcing corporate change in America and the world. It will take the actions of the government and Congress, to adjust American spending policies. Oil must not be the only option. We can prove that meaningful alternative fuel and oil-efficient technologies exist by citing evidence from the patent office. We should arrange legal action to split companies from oil, for the world's good, and because of this time of fiscal difficulty.

A Call From the Wild: Come Home

I call on Americans and people of the world to live more simply, more cheaply. I invite you to reduce your use of cellular phones. Avoid their hidden fees and microwave-level RF radiation. You can hard boil an egg with a cell phone in 65 minutes.

I invite you to drive less and work or shop closer to home, or on the internet. Of course visit friends everywhere, but consider a bus. Get a more fuel efficient vehicle or convert your vehicle to run on biodiesel or ethanol. You'll save money, protect the environment, and reduce the planet and economy's fuel load. Buy a slightly used car instead of a new car.

Eat healthier. Buy organic foods and cook for yourself and your family. Avoid going to national fast food franchises.

Turn off the TV. If you don't need the extra TV, sell it or throw it away. Avoid cathode ray tubes. Think twice about buying that second computer and instead save the money, tithe, or use your time differently. Exercise more. Buy a bike with a comfy seat.

Buy more of your clothes from the salvation army or goodwill. Donate more of your clothes to the salvation army or goodwill.

Start a garden. If you're building a home or want to, make it earth sheltered or earth birmed, and put a garden on the roof of it. A well built earth sheltered home will help insulate and protect you from all manner of troubles. Consider adding solar panels or a wind turbine if your areas is conducive to alternative energy. If you live on a river make your own waterwheel 1890's style.

Turn off lights and computers when not in use. Try to use your air conditioner and heater less.

Talk to your senator and representatives. Talk to the Supreme Court. Talk to the White House. But first, get informed with all the information you can receive. Do not listen to what they say on TV. Do your own research! You will enjoy the satisfaction you receive from educating yourself. Love yourself, and treat yourself and your neighbors well.

"good point, johnson

hey, i found this excellent article on the 5 circles of hell that new Sec Treas paulson will encounter. not about oil, but relevant to makin good progress under King George

....The Fourth Circle of Economic Hell

“I said: “My master, who has set this anguished gust in motion? And he to me: “You shall soon be where your own eye will answer that.”
~ Dante, Divine Comedy: Inferno, Canto XXXIII
It is in the Fourth Circle of Economic Hell that Paulson’s Saga becomes the Ordeal that it truly is. This is the Circle of the Real Economy on which the Third Circle of Fiscal Effects must inevitably rest. With all the glamour lavished on financial manipulation, we sometimes forget that, eventually, real things have to be made. Before money can be sold, subordinated, factored, futured, arbitraged, discounted, traded, and so on, real people have to produce and consume real products. It is here that Paulson and Bush cower in such hopeless despair.

More than 100% of the growth in Gross Domestic Product over the past five years is attributable to the expansion of debt. GDP is up $2.8 trillion since 2001. But government debt alone is up over $3 trillion for the same period. Add in the explosion of home mortgage debt at over $5 trillion, and a cumulative $3.5 trillion in trade deficit, and you get a Real Economy that is literally going backwards. The illusion of affluence is only sustained by selling off the family china. Working Americans know this all too well and the reason is not hard to see: the American consumer simply doesn’t have enough money to pay his bills.

i have thought that our famous growing GDP must be a scam - it's just debt!

Real average hourly earnings are 14% below their 1973 post-War high. Real median household incomes are still 4% below where they were in 1999. The economy has lost almost 3 million manufacturing jobs since 2001—twenty per cent of its total. Delphi Automotive, the largest automobile parts manufacturer in the world is in bankruptcy. It is demanding 60% pay cuts of its work force. Ford and GM are closing 19 plants between them and have just announced severances for 45,000 workers.

Employment in the communications equipment industry is down 43% since 2000. Semiconductor employment is off 30%. Electrical equipment has shed one quarter of its industry’s jobs. Textiles, off 40%. These are the high-wage jobs on which the American middle class—the American standard of living—once rested. Replacing them with jobs for waitresses and bartenders, home health care workers, fast food servers, and greeters at Wal-Mart doesn’t begin to sustain consumer purchasing power.

But that is the overwhelming nature the employment picture under the Bush administration. The economy has needed seven million new jobs just to keep pace with population growth since 2000. It has added just over three million, virtually all of them in low-paid domestic service sectors. This evisceration of labor and labor-based income comes at a time when corporate profits are at their highest level as a percent of national income since 1947 while labor’s share is at its lowest level since 1946. The rich are getting richer and everyone else is getting dramatically poorer.

These reversals are not accidents. They are the intended outcomes of two and a half decades of government policy designed to increase the returns to capital while reducing the bargaining power of labor. The policy began with Reagan’s Supply Side Economics, which cut the marginal tax rate on the highest incomes from 75% to 38%. It is bookended by Bush’s unending tax cuts for the wealthiest, from income taxes, to taxes on interest, dividends, capital gains, and, if he gets his way, the estates of multi-millionaires. All these cuts favor the very wealthiest of Americans at the expense of everybody else.

In this environment, with median incomes falling for decades, the only way to maintain the American family lifestyle is to borrow against the house. And when that is still not enough to keep the economy afloat, the government must step in and borrow against Americans’ future earnings. But rising interest rates are already killing off the tenuous housing-based recovery. And as prices rise with them, consumers are left with even less money to spend. The imperative for more and still more government borrowing becomes overwhelming.

This is Paulson’s inescapable dilemma. If he wants to continue the Republicans’ policy of shifting the nation’s wealth to those who are already the most wealthy, AND sustain the illusion of broad-based prosperity, he has no choice but to increase deficit spending (and therefore borrowing) at a greater and ever-greater rate. To be sure, the higher interest rates that result are an unquestioned boon to Paulson’s coupon-clipping friends. But they are a death sentence for the Real economy.

The Fifth Circle of Economic Hell

"He made me stop and said: 'This is the place where you will have to arm yourself with fortitude.' Oh reader, do not ask me how I grew faint and frozen then—all words fall short of the horror it actually was."
~ Dante, Divine Comedy: Inferno, Canto XXXIV
We have reached, then, the Fifth and Final Circle of Economic Hell. It is this Circle upon which all other Circles—the Real Economy, Fiscal Effects, Monetary Effects, and Ephemera—ultimately rest. It is the Circle of Structural Decline.

As onerous as they are, the deficits described in Circle Three, above, constitute only a small fraction of the total indebtedness of the U.S. economy. The official “national debt” is approaching $9 trillion, as noted, a substantial figure, to be sure. But the government’s “unfunded liabilities”—obligations it has committed to pay but for which there is no known source—are estimated at an incomprehensible $58 trillion. Add in revolving consumer debt, mortgage debt, and corporate debt, and the nation’s total obligations exceed $90 trillion, more than seven times GDP. At the time of the 1929 stock market crash, total debt stood at two times GDP. These obligations will never be paid.

The reason is that the job drain from the U.S., while it looks like a torrent now, is still only a trickle. Though the U.S. won the Cold War, it is rapidly losing the Cold Peace, which began when China ended its communist isolation and joined the world market. The average wage in China is $.57 per hour. China has more than half a billion workers meaning the drain of good jobs from the U.S. to China can go on indefinitely—and will. Alan Blinder, a Princeton economist and former Governor of the Federal Reserve Board, has estimated that as many as 56 million U.S. jobs are susceptible to outsourcing of the sort that has already dealt such damage to U.S. incomes.

But this is exactly what Bush and Paulson and their fellow “conservatives” intend. This is the magic of “globalization” that the Heraldic voices of Thomas Friedman and others eulogize as inevitable. Globalization means liberating capital from all obligations to national well being, freeing it to pursue only the highest returns it can find, no matter where they may lie. That means seeking out the lowest paid labor and shifting all possible jobs there. That is China. Or India.

The U.S. worker and the U.S. economy will be left to their own devices. All social safety net systems must be dismantled for, given the colossal debt, they can no longer be afforded. These include welfare, unemployment and disability insurance, pensions, health care, Medicare, Social Security, job retraining, and eventually, education. ..... "

It was captured from wbur.org by one macunix. If the facts in it are correct, [note that total oil production does not an argument make against aging fields] then severe economic consequences are coming in the next ~2 years.

**I want a good economy for middle class folks.**

I want those rich folks who do to change their ill reaping ways.

The American economic boom and collective fortunes have been squandered by chasing wealth. The choice we had and still have circa 1997 is the lead the switch from oil fuel to alternative fuel. Stanley Meyer came at just the right moment. Please God let us not walk down the path to what we deserve. Let us awaken, repent, and use the gifts we have been given to save ourselves and turn to you.

Let me write Better Godliness Through Love and finish BGodliness Through Chemistry and evil can be trounced in a media publicized and God serving way.

I will begin.

[I want this portion to go unannounced. I do not want to spook investors or economists. I want them to think rationally and change. I am concerned about the economic condition of the coming 5 years. Less than 5 in particular. I believe that there will be a major and likely somewhat sudden but protracted downturn in $, due to American credit ratings failing, energy prices rising, increasing competition for American jobs and an increasing population. I have no idea what this might be caused by. Maybe the people will find out when the DOW breaks. Maybe it will come from oil. Maybe it will be put to them from the media by budgetary analysis. Maybe the FED will announce major changes in their structure and Congress will get on the stick about American economic performance and release badly needed, or badly delayed in development technologies required for growth. Or maybe those technologies will pop out chaotically and unexpectedly in an economic 'rupture'. I hope that does not cause death. Well more death. In fact I hope the two million wells campaign works and a spotlight is shined on 3rd world analysis and alleviation. We should move on this data. State, release the water splitter to the top 3 priorities you can think of, and let's get this pogue thing off the ground for 2007, and let's also get a solution for the coal plant sooner than water splitting as a segway. And let's wipe nuclear off the map. Make it happen.]
