I am not sure what definition you are using, but rising numbers of folk becoming "Bankrupt", and actually homeless, those folk are not heard in mainstream media, and they have a pretty short life after they land in the street. The quicker they die the better obviously, then we can pretend everything is just fine, nothing to see, business as usual.

But energy-wise, and this is physical, money is energy, always, priced in markets as KWhrs, when money makes money, or when we put a little energy out for a lot back, it had to come from somewhere, and the planet is the only thing that can give more energy out then it got put in, at least it has until now.

If you or I was to give out more energy then we get in, we'd be dead very quick.

So the planet is dying, we are on the brink of it actually expiring, look at the food supply chains, everything is getting thinner of the ground. Look at the size of the fish we eat now, they are babies compared with what we used to think was a normal adult fish size.

All the wars we are seeing around the world, those too are all about energy, again for profit.

This is the real problem, of course it is economic, because money is energy, but we only think of it as that when it suits us, not when it might remind us that the whole business for profit model is actually an unsustainable energy con.

We are at the point now, where if we don't realise this, and change it whilst we still can, we are done, and so is actually all life on the planet.

I hope maybe you see some sense in that, its much bigger than just about money, its about energy, the same energy as we each need 150 odd Joules per second of, for our lives, 24/7.

The answer is a solar hydrogen ecology, with solar indexed permanent UBI.

With that we could turn things around very quick, but getting to that is obviously a big challenge to our understanding of things.

I hope we make it.
