Its really a shame. We have let our government across the planet get out of control.

The real core of the issue is we have allowed our systems to be designed to be un-sustainable. Everything is dependent on a constant input of fuel/energy/cash. This is true for almost every system we have created even the simple systems like our everyday lives and our households. This means we can never be independent or free because we constantly need to pay someone to provide our needs.

See if we designed our systems to be sustainable (net 0 energy input needed). We would be less reliant on others and the government. This would reduce their power and therefore prevent these types of situations. Because if we are energy 0 zero we do not need centralized power production or centralized banks or centralized anything. It can be distributed and therefore bring up the standards of living and freedom of anyone who adopts this idea.

Man has never accomplished this task for one reason or another. We have the technology now that humanity has never had before, all we need is the courage of our ancestors.

See it would take less than a week to stop any given system. If a neighborhood saved food and resources to stay at home for a week and have a block party it would dramatically effect their county tax revenue and they could make changes needed when that happened. Imagine if a state or country did not move their money, meaning no shopping no paying bills nothing. No tax revenue in a system that needs it every second. They stop working we fix the issue, which is large centralization. Problems solved.
