Part IIIStep by step walkthrough how to instantly end unemployment and poverty, and therefore open the door for system change

These are Known Knows

World population by 2050 > +9 billion Rate of oil production is at a maximum and declining 10 calories of hydrocarbons are invested in every food calorie Climate change will exceed +2C Massive global loss of biodiversity Massive global resorce depletion The economy, to please human needs, uses resources The global economy must grow, resource and energy consumption

must therefore grow, otherwise the global economy will collapse

The Known Unknown

What is a safe small step?

We know we have to reach a steady state economy / green economy / resource based economy. But we don´t know what steps can be taken. Remember, politicians can not approve actions that threaten survival in the short term. And if global economic growth stops, the global economic socio-political system breaks down.

The Unknown Unknown

Can we make it?

The trajectory is crystal clear. The irresistible force of our global economy is crashing with the immovable object of our physical reality. Nobody knows how many months we have left, before resource and energy depletion prevents further economic growth, globally, and therefore crashes the economic socio-political system, globally.

What actions have been proposed so far?

The Power of Law The Power of Taxes The Power of Subsidies Boycotting Corporations Downshifting Offsetting 21h workweek Universal Basic Income

The Power of Law

If there is no money, then there simply is no money. If a Law is not economically viable, it can not, and will not, be superimposed.

Therefore the needs of the global economic socio-political system, requiring contant economic growth, by any and all means necessary, overrides any national law.

Therefore if a sovereign nation is described by its constitution to be a democracy. Understood as, power by the people for the people. It therefore has become unlawful, working in a manner that is against its own constitution. Because the constitution is not followed, are laws unlawful, therefore the police is unlawful etc.

The Power of Taxes

Taxes are viable only if they don´t hinder economic growth. Therefore nations can only tax when it directly upholds or

strengthens economic growth in the short term.

The Power of Subsidies

Government subsidies can only be used to strengthen economic growth.

Boycotting corporations

Corporations can not afford not to be seen. Therefore we are in the middle of a global information war, where

every ascpect of our culture has been commercialized. Even if we boycott corporations, our children would not.

Downshifting

All well, if your student loan, mortgage, childrens hobbies or medical expenses allow downshifting.

But, downshifting is not a viable option for the majority.

Offsetting

We are able to offset anything and everything. Therefore this actually is a viable, feasible, market option. We actually could offset anything and everything, and produce

100% zero footprint services and products, globally. But the fear of greenwashing prevents this only viable market option

from happening.

21h workweek + Universal basic Income

Any step that does not directly strengthen economic growth can not, and will not, be taken.

One Small Step

The only way to restore the power of law, is to prevent unemployment.

It must be understood that all economic growth is upholding or increasing employment, and the downturns in the economy cause rising unemployment rates.

Therefore, if unemployment can be prevented alltogether, then we are free.

Preventing unemployment restores the power of law, making democratically elected governments able to take appropriate action.

Definition of a Co-Op

A Co-Operative is a corporation where every member owns a share of that co-operative.

Because every member owns a share of that co-operative, the CEO and his board of directors must be voted democratically.

Because every member owns a share of the co-operative, all profits are distrubuted to all members.

In all other aspects a co-op is a standard corporation.

1. Gather 1000 unemployed people. 2. Create a co-op for your 1000 people, name your co-op. Get seed funds from the government.
