True, we are running out of time, thanks for posting.

The solution is to pay everyone free money to stay at home, and to balance the free money paid against a commitment to implement 100% free solar power, rather than against debt, as currently done.

Things would soon sort themselves out after that is done, as we can see from the ability to accurately simulate the resulting system using standard engineering techniques, unlike the old system of controlled scarcity.

Also, we glimpsed during the first lockdowns the recovery of the environment on many fronts.

We literally smelled fresh air for the first time in 30 odd years.

We really could have that back again, if we want it.

At the end of the day, the real deficit is between our planet, and us, and it can be quantified by comparing what we call wealth, with the quantity of photons landing on our planet.

Those two have to balance positively, but they never will as long as we treat wealth as being something of fixed supply.
