Recall if you will, we actually saw a new kind of democracy via markets, just for a fleeting glimpse whilst massive stimulus was being issued during covid lockdowns.
The markets were flooded with new traders, trading with money they got for free, so they were not worried about losing.
They bought shares in bankrupt companies still selling things they recognised, and wanted to save, things like cruises on ships and cars for hire. Hertz was rescued like this.
Traditional traders including Warren Buffet fled the markets led by buffet, claiming something had gone wrong with money.
But nothing had gone wrong with money, it's value was going up throughout the entire time of stimulus, the opposite of inflation, the energy value of money was increasing.
What folk were doing was voting with money.
They voted to keep hire cars and cruises on ships.
They didn't vote for oil.
Oil went negative, the first and only time in history for any energy commodity.
So we saw there what needs to happen.
And we've worked out since, assisted by ChatGPT amongst other thingss why it happened, and how it needs to happen again, but this time the stimulus left permanently switched on, indexed to solar energy put to use.
Notice also ChatGPT is busy putting everyone out of work, it is automating everything previously done and still being done for profit.
Notice also utilities energy supply is shrinking in every developed country, yet our populations increasing in many cases.
Every human requires at least a GWhr for their life, from the poorest to the richest.
Where did it come from, if it wasn't from utilities energy supply? Remember it can't be created or destroyed, just pushed around, from life to life.
It had to come from the sun, since we now are putting tens of GigaJoules per second of solar energy to use, creating valuable economic product from this mostly via domestic and community installations.
Grid connected or not, that pushes Joules back to utilities energy companies who are having to buy back that product sold previously.
So they are going bust because their markets are shrinking whilst their shareholder bases are not.
Why would we need to be shareholders if we had guaranteed stimulus?
Sorry I just scratched the surface a bit deeper after you scratched it.
There is a perfectly fine democracy we can have, fully sustainably, by getting rid of our dependence on fossil fuels or any other energy of Earth.
It starts when the solar indexed stimulus starts.
That is when we will see real fine grained democracy for real.
