Dr. Hax on Nostr: I see people posting under #NoBillionares and suggesting providing things to people ...
I see people posting under #NoBillionares and suggesting providing things to people for free as [part of?] the solution.
As an open source developer, I get it. I am living that. I also have property taxes, food, electricity, healthcare bills, and so on.
Things like growing food is hard work, and even with UBI, someone has to grow it or there's no food to buy no matter how much money people have. Doubly so if grown in a sustainable way. We can't even grow enough to feed our own household.
So if there's someone out there who sees this, and can point me towards a person or group of people who are doing this in practice, and it's not a "what if..." or "imagine a world where..." type thought experiment, I'd like to read more about it.
For context, I grew up in Amish country, and I do have a reasonably good understanding of how they have their society set up. I'm also familiar with Cooperative Jackson and the work they do now, and aspire to do in the future if all goes to plan.
