We’ve reached a tipping point in our technological
evolution where American labor will be replaced by machines, outsourcing and artificial
intelligence at an exponentially greater pace year after year, as the labor-for
cash- for survival cycle becomes increasingly more difficult to prosper in, we
find ourselves without a plan to move forward towards a better way of life and
a new identity.
Leaving Currency Behind deals with a
long-term plan to lower our overhead costs involving housing, healthcare, energy
and transportation. The text is written in easy to understand and well-defined
terms so that almost anyone, regardless of their financial or economic
background can understand it. This new economic system puts the voting power on
survival issues back into the hands of the individual voters, through state
propositions that are written by a state economic committee, who by law cannot
take corporate bribes, kickbacks or except high paying jobs and stock options
during their time in office or for up to 15 years afterward. This new
economic system licenses all the supporting companies of our energy,
healthcare, housing and transportation industries; making them non-profit,
non-publicly traded and patent free, one industry at a time, to reduce our
overhead costs overtime, allowing us to work fewer hours per week, increasing
our standard of living and strengthening our economy. This system
will incentivize companies toward producing superior technology that
does not require repair or replacement at a very low cost. The less these key industries
technologies cost to buy, the less currency and debt is incurred by the general
public in order to own or use them and the fewer human hours everyone will need
to work per year in order to enjoy a higher standard of living.
This new economic system uses cooperation rather than
competition, open sourcing rather than patents and non-profit vs. profit values
to force key industries to provide superior technology to the public at declining
costs over time until these costs become inconsequential or free to the general
public. This new system brings about an end to the massive waste problems
forced upon our planet by a for-profit agenda and can be cloned around the
world to help eradicate world poverty and hunger. Technology is the only way we
can solve so many of the problems we face today and this system will focus on applying
technology to our areas of greatest need, so that we will welcome its advancement
rather than fear its inevitability.
