Comment Money is the problem, and the solution (Score 1) 555
The reason they are doing all this to us with respect to copyrights, jails, etc, is money.
They want money, we need a better system, so how about combining those into a solution.
If we change the system so its profitable to change it, then
everybody can benefit.
How?
The land can be divided into independently operated economic regions.
All regions compete to offer you higher pay rates and the best lifestyle.
If a region doesnt keep up, then it goes out of business and the land becomes part of one of the more popular regions.
This kind of competition will quickly result in all regions
having to improve conditions for all of us people.
Some regions can be run by companies like JCPenney or Google,
because companies know how to compete and improve themselves
and offer you better service.
Companies would invest a lot of money into these regions, knowing they would get a return on their investment,
so we could get sustainable regions that use
only renewable nonpolluting energy.
Private companies are much more efficient at doing things
like this, compared with the bureaucracy we are suffering with today.
We are in a "race to the bottom" now,
where jobs often go to the third world where labor is cheaper.
Todays system doesnt seem to care much about human rights or lifestyle.
Regions could start a "race to the top", because regions must make living conditions as good as possible so the region can stay popular and stay in business.
Regions are primarily for the people,
since people choose which regions win.
Competition has already been proven to work, where it is used,
such as in stores.
Now we need to apply competition to all aspects of our lives,
so everything will work better.
