Now we turn to local businesses. With the Baltic Dry Index falling we may have to move to this faster than we can imagine. What is the Baltic Dry Index? It just means that goods are not being shipped around the world. Why does that matter? Because most of the goods you buy come from China. A local business economy would be where your clothes are made from products locally grown. Let's say that Joe grows cotton and flax, and he gives the cotton to Susie to be woven into material. This material is taken by either you directly or by Susie's dress shop to make clothes. You might have to make your own clothes. The number of choices in the clothes department will drop. Susie can only produce so many dresses. Most manufacturing could be localized as well to keep people working in the community.
Banks have become too powerful and their power too centralized. My suggestion is here is to temporarily seize the banks, and forgive quite a bit of debt, and then break these guys down into small, local banks. The Federal Reserve needs to be permanently taken over. We do not need our federal government paying a private bank to produce money or keep interest on the public debt. That's silly and expensive. Forgive the debt and tax the mess out of the billionaires to kick wealth around a bit. The more people own land and the more wealth that goes into the hands of the many, the wealthier the community. more
