Loading ...Independence movements have to evolve, and you can see signs of it. The people that get voted in, are always beholden to their campaign advisors and contributors. Big business in general. They always think short term. They don’t worry about the future. They want their big profits NOW.
They influenced all the elected officials in all countries, to do what’s best for big business. They molded the entire global economy for their best interests. The ability to operate across borders. Arbitrage currency exchange rates, arbitrage labor costs, and avoid taxes.
Naturally the dumb as a stump politicians do what big businesses want, because the business argument is…”Do what we want, because we create jobs that pay taxes”. If each and every country produced as much of their own needs as possible, they would all be better off, self reliant, independent places.
I makes no sense for separate countries to have “China” et al be chosen by big business, as the global vendor, and have a monopoly, fabricating western world needs that are very easily made locally.
Being globally efficient, re production, makes no sense with a growing population, unless we had to compete against other planets. Being globally production efficient ONLY makes sense to save time, with shorter work weeks, more time off.
The washing machine was the first product to give someone some more free time.
With all infrastructure in place these days, bridges, roads, utilities, pipelines railroads, combined with all the modern efficient production manufacturing methods these days, you would think most of the global population would only have to work 10 hours a week.
I suspect we are all working a lot more hours than needed because of taxes on top of taxes to supply various power freaks money for their useless various “pyramids”. Like the Spruce Goose, the Moon Landing, various wars etc. All a big waste of tax payer money.
When you add up all the various “taxes”, we are all probably paying 80% of income. Add it all up. Without all the tax money we donate for useless endeavors we could all work 80% less for example.
