The easy solution is recognizing that energetic output has worth and formulating this into printed money instead of their debt based economics also called usury. For example six minutes of basic energetic output could equate to one dollar to set a standard of ten per hour. Normal people are rational and will base everything off this in a balanced way like recognizing that skilled labor is worth more and that commodities should be proportionate to energy and time. The ideal solution would be a monetary system based on precious metals which is still secondary to self reliance and basic trade. There should only be a flat sales tax if any and corporations should be banned and not exist at all. A true free market regulates itself through competition. Regulations only serve the interest of corporations. Capitalism is a deceptive word as it is really corporate monopolies in contract with a corporate governments which protect their interests as they overtax and over regulate small business.

I live in a truly diverse neighborhood with African American and White Americans across the economic spectrum. We need to get rid of racism from both sides. It was not until I lived in this neighborhood that I realized my own subtle prejudices against ethnic minorities and poor people. Anything that enhances those prejudices from either side is absolute nonsense… dangerous nonsense. We will hang together or hang separately... The bad guys know how to deal with violence … and they know how to manipulate hatred…
