Fighting the Technology

Global warming is the least of it, in the end...and there will be one, all mankind will have depleted every natural resource that exists. The only restriction to our proliferation is the amount of us. Because Humans have traded value for paper, our resources have become our existence. A global economy will only exist if some entity controls the resources. At some point in the survival plan for humanity, there will be a need to thin the heard. My question is who will that be. I just wounder how much will a vaccine for the next pandemic cost. I figure either barrels or maybe tons will cover it. I wounder what the copay will be!

Just another Chicken Little story.

One thing that would help slow down the concept of turning natural resources into garbage as fast as possible is too tax and regulate all resources so that when anyone starts to think of making a product there are lots of trials and research done to make the best use of all raw materails and even recycled materials.

This wave of profit motivated product devolpement with a short life span is not good for anyone except those seeking quick profits.

I am sure the people who do this for a living would not agree with me since their income depends on the constant turn over of natual resources to trash.

I still follow my grandfather teaching on rebuilt, repair, and re engineer to get all the value I can from any equipment we have. Buying new products are long hard thought decisions around here.

The U.S. Dollar seems to be the problem to me since they are Debt dollars. The Federal Reserve dollar has no real value till someone signs a debt note.

People have been encrouaged to "GO BUY SOMETHING" like they are drug addicts and that is their fix. Why not "SAVE" .

Amen, I feel that we are too fixated on double digit growth and innovation of items we really don't need. Why the h#ll do I need a phone that plays movies??? Why would I want to increase my trips to the eye doctor and chiropractor because I felt the need to watch a movie on my phone vs talk to the person next to me. We have a self perpetuating economy because we continually buy crap that we don't need and will throw away in a year and be forced to go and buy the replacement piece of crap.

Back to basics - I carry a cell phone because my current job requires it. I chose the free one on the plan. I drive a 10yr old car that I maintain because I could pay cash for it. My wife stays at home with our children because we didn't want someone else raising them, she elected to stay home because I made more $. I gladly would have switched if she made more. etc, etc, etc...
