So true, thanks for posting.

This problem more or less affects all places and all people, it seems to me. Individually most of us don’t like to be part of it, but we have no choice, the only way we can eat is to go to the supermarket and buy the produce there, thus perpetuating the chain of colonial exploitation. There is a documentary on one of the less popular (Foreign) TV channels in UK right now showing us the horrors of the cobalt market, apparently around 60, 000 child miners are employed mostly in the Congo to dig the stuff out of the ground using their hands, and is an essential ingredient in the mobile phones we all depend on.
The whole profit driven system is to blame here, the simple fact is as long as we practice and work for profit, as time goes on, the profit driven system becomes more and more finely tuned to exploit the weakest, progressively impoverishing and weakening those endpoints until they literally collapse and die back. Realistically, what life expectancy does a child have working in such mines?
The only way I can see that the system can be changed, is free money. We saw it happen in the earlier stages of the pandemic, 4Tn was issued in US, and a lot of interesting things happened including a negative oil price, for the first time in history.
Of course as long as we treat the world economically as a closed, zero-sum ball of capital, it will always be perceived that free money issuance dilutes capital, so "Can’t be afforded" by those living from capital benefits, like most boomers on pensions etc.
Further, the same mindset seriously undervalues solar power, mixing it up with terms like "Renewables" which actually make no sense.
Energy is not renewable, it all comes from the sun.
But now using more solar, we are seeing growing now, a new kind of non-capital, donated wealth, and it is substantial, much more valuable than any kind of capital wealth.
I’ve written about it in my stories about Kardashev Money, and the Money-Fuel tree.
By rights, and Austrian Economics, banks should be issuing money on it, but they don’t because after it really takes hold, there won’t be much function for banks.
But it is inevitable. Inflation is the first sign of it.
There will come a point when it has to be accepted that an energy standard has to be put onto money, in order to maintain its value, so many Joules per token, except for Bitcoin which is different, the Kardsashev Hinge.
With that, money will begin to flow as energy flows, and we’ll notice those flows follow the same physical characteristics as flows of physical fluids, the pressure at all points is the local market value of the money, and it will flow through the hands of all people.
I know this sounds far fetched, but it is actually happening.
I hope those living on, and enjoying the power of capital don’t put up too much of a fight, because they get to benefit from a much better world too.
The alternative is a spent planet, and extinction.
