I've had some questions from readers about how to make this work. I don't have all the answers, so I'd love to hear from other folks that might have ideas, but there is one thing I know will be an absolute requirement: we have to understand that the entire process runs on Caring.
We have to understand that we really are all in this together. If currency collapses to the point where nobody can afford to buy anything, we'll be forced to start taking care of each other anyway. Why not start now?
A long time ago someone noticed that there are three basic needs: Food, Clothing, and Shelter. I would add medical care to this, but if you think about it, it really falls under the heading of Shelter. In fact, those categories would be better understood if generalized a bit. Let's call them Nourishment and Protection.
If we don't have to earn money, then we don't need "jobs". So if your job involves something that doesn't directly produce something in the above two categories, it probably involves filling up the economy with more non-essential products in order to keep people working, earning, and consuming. You might want to align yourself with one of the two essential needs.
Think about what's included in the two general categories. For instance, Recreation is a form of Nourishment. So are Art, Exercise, Counseling, Education, Entertainment, and many others. Please feel free to suggest some of them.
