Creepy Hollow…

The Lands set forth below our feet and past the tree line which ventures into a small vally with a creek, that our house sits on, is known as Creepy Hollow.

We are fortunate enough to own it all to prevent other developers from coming in and knocking down trees and stacking multi-level houses on top of each other.

In this four city block range of land, we have things pretty good here. One day while touring Creepy Hollow along our phone line access line. (Our phone line runs close to three football field lengths to the street behind our house for high speed access) I decided to just walk the length for the hell of it. I ran across an interesting situation.

When I got to our creek area which is a shallow creek I noticed some of the trees where dying so checked them out.

The bark has been stripped from around the tree with wood chips all over the ground. The creek was dredged with channels, and trees that where half buried where cut through.

So with the marks, channels and groomed creek structure it led to the little culprits, We now officially have beavers to add to our list of critters residing in Creepy Hollow.

Raccoons, porcupines, deer, mice, moles, weasels, squirrels, chipmunks, and various seasonal birds and year around avian guys such as ravens, crows, Bald eagles, hawks, humming birds, etc.

Being on an Island, I was kind of surprised at the addition of critters, more then likely displaced from the explosion of development that has been going on. Developers clear cutting tens of acres in one shot. A lot of critters get displaced in one clearing.

More often then not I tend to see additional activity in our once non-active plot of forest. As the years and additional development goes on I start seeing more things here and there.

This place is not without it's Dead Zone.. Which consists of approximately 80-120 yard radius around the house due to one very aggressive cat which will hunt down and kill anything it can wrap its claws around.

We are talking a black and white cat, average size, not large by any means which fends it’s food bowl against raccoons almost three times it’s size.

The Raccoons are at a disadvantage in that the cat was here first, and they where small when they got “pushed” onto Creepy Hollow. At the time the cat was about the same size, the cat was vastly more aggressive and would kick their butts on a weekly basis.

Now that they are three times its size, all they know is there is a psycho with food over there. Seeing a cat beat up a Mom with Kits (aren’t mom’s supposed to be super aggressive?)

Even came home one night to see the Mom and three kits hanging out on the end of a branch with the cat on the inside part of the branch not letting them get off the branch. Cornering the coons till I came home to take over.

The cat rubbed up against me and purred then handed the task off to me when I went to see what was going on. I of course let them go. They still make attempts at the cat food, but more often then not, the Cat is in the area and won’t let them have any.

Beavers on the other hand. This may explain the sudden decrease in frog population. I was thinking of reseeding the creek and pond areas with frogs because I like to listen to them at night, now with Beavers, this may be interesting to see if they wipe out the frog population or not. They are however legally doing what was illegal for me to do. Groom the creek.

So though they are harming a handful of trees, they are taking care of something the county said I could not do.

The County also stated though, if I did anything to clear or "modify the creek and or ponds" that I would be in some "nutritionally corrected output" These guys however apparently get to do anything they want because they don’t have options for legal representation and as such as protected class of U.S. citizens which get to do whatever they want provided they are not harming the operations of U.S./state/local levels of financial institutions or transportation infrastructure.

So, it seems the creek is getting groomed, and well the state can’t do anything about it. Funny how things work out, apparently if you ignore a situation long enough it does fix itself.

Needless to say, I am publicly denying any bribery attempts or verbal agreements with the beavers to have the beavers come in and groom my creek, pond and clean up and eliminate the underbrush near the creek beds and pond edges.

Though I also am doing nothing to prevent them from living tax free on the section of land, that I have stewardship over as well.

I didn’t do anything, you didn’t see me do anything, you can’t prove anything in a court of law. Also they are under my, um “Protection”, yah that’s it. “Protection” so you can’t move them or tell them they have to conform to any building codes.

The forest of balance and serenity..

Very Few have come and visited seen and possibly enjoyed hanging out in my back yard. Though who have notice that it is covered in Fir trees, alders, oaks, and other various lush green plants of the forest.

Quiet, slight breeze most of the time, a few combat hardened critters (gotta be with my cat around, Yes it has beat up the raccoons), Raccoons, deer, porcupines, and such.

So as I was back enjoying the silence, I simply projected myself forward in a fast forward mode to think of how it would be say, when I’m 80.

Then I realized the serene forest and quiet balanced location compared to the disruptive environment of suburbs and cities, and well..

The realization is, the forest is anything but serene. It’s in a life and death struggle for the superiority of species, much like the different races in the lord of the rings.

The alders grow fast create a thick canopy in order to starve others of their food source, the sun. If sunlight hits the tree it will throw branches out to gather as much sun as possible. If there is not enough sunlight it will drop its branches to give all its energy to those in direct contact with sunlight.

The Firs, grow all year around, much slower, however because they are slower growing they are capable of surviving this shadow casting tree. Though the starts are total smothered in the dropped leaves in fall which kills them.

The problem with the Alders is because they grow so fast their wood is less dense, and at a certain height the wind takes ‘em down with the annual wind storm.

The Firs however can withstand the wind storm. And if they get past the height of the alder’s “layer of death” then the Fir’s establish a “beach head” which then forces the Alders away from them allowing more Firs to gain foot hold

When we humans interact and cut things down, the alders literally take over the area choking the other trees out. The Firs don’t grow fast enough to respond to human intervention.

Where the pines are established, then the Alders are chocked out and don’t make it.

The oaks are similar to the Alders in that they branch out and attempt to “choke out” other trees around their base. They are a bit slower the Alders, however they grow taller, Withstand the windstorms a bit better (but still not as good as the Fir trees) and are more of a toe to toe competitor with the Alders, having all out battles that take decades to unfold.

So to us, we see quiet green leaves, slight breeze, quiet, peace. However if you took life and ran it fast forward by a factor of x300 you might really see this battle going on, and you would have a completely different view as a handful of species battling for life while trying to knock out its competitors for the food source known as sunlight.

Now for the plants..

Re-org designed by Harvard...

Yah, That’s what I was hired for…

Day Jobs tend to suck, unless your in business for yourself, in which case your doing what you love to do. (or you won’t be in business very long.)

Jumping from job to job, I have done everything from getting paid to break shi#, fix shi#, ripping off cars (Repo-man), to tracking psychotic crack heads (That leads from Repo work, when your good at skiptracing). Now I went from the underground to above ground, (only by societies description)

Went FROM: the jack of all trades (A Tech) basically dealing with everything from when a reporter touches a keyboard, the computer, network, servers, print equipment, dealing with plating equipment, photography development, mixing chemistry, dealing with pneumatics, hydraulics, and 220 power sources, TO: moving a mouse, and fixing text on a ad in the same company.

They say they don’t need Techs anymore, however, they still have me doing the equipment, chemistry, n fixing “issues” while moving a mouse around and clicking on a keyboard. (Yawn)

Companies suck., this is all in response to a couple points on a profit chart. Being in the black, having almost 20% profit margin after everything is said and done, it is totally unacceptable now adays to only be profitable and suceeding.

If a company makes $5M, a year, they must down size, outsource the work and strip everyone of their pensions, and medical benefits because they could then make $5.18M in profits. Because somebody who is educated beyond their intelligence from Harvard stated that points count when it comes to business profit margins.

The company will probably be gone in 10 years because they continue to loose their customer base. In response the Harvard wizard, cuts within the business, cuts back, cut the quality, to save on money to respond that people are dropping the paper because the product is really starting to suck. I would think improving the product and increasing sales would be the target here?? Apparently I am no Harvard wizard. "This (as I was corrected) is not about our customers, this is about our stock holders!"

Meanwhile, this brainiac, states he can squeeze another three points out of the annual bottom line, then cuts product ability, eliminates the high paid individuals with skills that made the product worth while and replaces them with, Interns..

Interns now (who where there to learn how to do things) are running the departments, are the main workforce talent, because they don’t get full time wages, or any benefits to speak of, they cost 1/8^th what it took to have someone competent who made the product worth while.

Mean while people are dropping the product, (news product) because it is falling with a snipit of what you already seen on network TV 48 hours earlier feathered in with mailer type advertising that breaks up most of the stories. Stock pages? WTF folks. Who the hell does stock trading with information 24+ hours old?

Sports section. Movie review sections, I mentioned they should have a game review/info section. Like get some literate kids who spend their days on WoW, and other various things like, Ummm, the 360 live, PS2/3, PSP ‘n other such “Crap.”

There where several fundamental responses on this suggestion (after they asked the companies employees for suggestions on how to turn this tub of shi# around before it beaches itself on the rocks in the middle of nowhere.)

1^st response. (Yes folks this is a direct quote from one of the managers) “What the fuc# do you know about publishing?!, Are you a published writer? Do you run a paper?”

I held my hands up and walked away.

2^nd response (different person) “There is no money in video games, we are talking about serious stuff, not kiddy stuff” The point in this is they have two dedicated sections, sports and movies. Now videogames has a GNP higher then the entire sports industry, and higher then the entire movie industry, if not on the point of out doing both together.

I would also like to point out the people in charge of this are near retirement and have little or no contact with computers, which when it crashes calls me on the help desk stating “The internet is down” when I ask “internet?” the response is “Yes, the entire internet is down! I cant get to my email!”

Hope they die soon or retire*, (*people like this do not retire they stay in till they die because they can not retire on SS alone.) and get replaced with someone under 50 years of age, before the company is dissolved due to business incompetents

They also stated that there is no future with “electronic entertainment” in printed media. Funny how there is a news stand with 20+ magazines dedicated to only video games that brings down more then this business made over the past 5 years, and that’s annually per magazine.

Not sure, but if the local paper had an actual section that had pointers on local guilds in WoW, where to do things, tips and tricks on how to get the stuff you need, how to navigate the local auction houses... Well I'm a sure the holy grail of the 18-40 market would start buying the paper with daily hints tips, Organizing of local guilds ran by local people who could hit the local coffee house and actually meet each other would be a selling point.

A listing of the MMO’s that people drop big money to play in, some walk troughs for recently released PC and platformers, you might find they would open the holy grail of all newspapers (How to grab the under 40 crowd.)

They still walk by me scratching their heads. “If we could only figure out how to get the new generation, they don’t read papers, so we need to get all the profit we can because newspapers are done for”

The magazines are exploding, which suggests that print isn’t dead, they are reading, they just are not reading shi# geared towards those 65 and older mentality. Much like the management crew of this failing business who is trying to tell me to my face, that they don’t need me to do Technical work, however I still need to do the preventative maintenance on the equipment, deal with the servers and “user emergencies” (Technical work) while taking over a position that was eliminated, because they didn’t need the work hours for it. (which now I get all the over time I want because their isn’t enough people to do the work that was eliminated.)

I’m starting to think, if this is a representation of the best Harvard education has to offer, I can see why Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard and started Microsoft.

Had he finished Harvard then Started Microsoft, MS would have been bankrupt and out of business in 8 years. Even though they would have tons of money the mismanagement and inability to function on a business and intellectual model would have sunk the company.

To all you parents out there DO NOT LET YOUR CHILD GO TO HARVARD! All they will do is destroy American businesses and send all our jobs to India or China.

It’s a sad day for all here as our country is being destroyed by a cancer (People educated beyond their intelligence making the decisions which run the business of America.) And you wonder why Every President of America Sucks...

Bored groups...

So when your a group of people, and really bored, too much time on your hands, what do you do?

Well answer is simple, you play Human Space invaders! What else would you do?

Combat intelligence and Video Games.

-=( Yet another warning, requires 10-15 minutes of reading and some intelligence to respond )=-

So getting home from being worked over at work, (always on the toe to toe with management) Clicked on the TV to decompress at home and of course there is Ahhnold the terminator in Judgment day.

Which brings up a previous thought I had in the development of A.I. and the downfall of humanity. People say (well the paranoid schizophrenic kinda people say) That machines will prevail and humanity will be enslaved and possibly drove into near extinction.

Well military drones aircraft is completely possible and in actual practice. The world of Terminator, Matrix, and then a collection of various B grade movies puts us as in the position of answering to machines that seem to out think us and take control over us. (With current management that I have had to deal with, and typical people in power in various corporations and government, I am afraid this is completely possible)

So the base structure is, machines can not take over until they can do the complex engineering and field maintenance that humans do. Meaning hands on basic ground-pounder, brainless pre-high school manual labor that everyone hates because it is so underpaid.

A simple pair of hands and basic adjustment of equipment, taking out the trash and loading ordinance and crap into the machines to control us to start with. Not mentioning making the bullets, feeding the raw materials to do all this and the entire network and infrastructure that is maintained by people, because machines can’t physically do the work.

Management would have replaced us by now if this could be done because machines don’t need $100k of benefits to make it happy.

They don’t need Medical, dental, pensions, company picnics, you know being treated like a human instead of a machine. Which I still believe that upper management are more like machines and not human.

As far as the basic unit being able to out fight us. I think it is very possible. With game environment simulations where the machine is given the same information we are, sight, sound and crosshairs to target and shoot with. The machines can outshoot us.

They aren’t effected by adrenaline near the kill point, and as such don’t get jumpy and don’t make mistakes.

The A.I. scripts can work in a fluid manner allowing them to do a tried, tested and true method of ground combat. Pin and flank. All combat consists of Pin and flank, not wire-fu, chop-sake combat opra matrix, one Vs the nation of the machines. Its more like saving Private Ryan, get your ass kicked, pin them down, flank and execute the kill before they do the same to you.

Combat requires team work. Machines are designed for team work, they lack the confusion of fog or war like humans deal with, (thus the U.S. integration of wireless combat PDA with real-time unit placements) to help reduce Fog of war from our side while increasing it to the other side.

*Term* “Fog of war” is not a fog, smoke screen or visual impairment, Fog of war is situational awareness, knowing what is around the corner, knowing that the movement two blocks down is your guys or their guys. Friendly fire is usually caused by Fog of war, getting confused in a live fire situation and hitting the wrong unit (person, tank, etc.) by firing on something thinking it is the enemy when it is actually your guys. That is Fog of war, for those who are unfamiliar with combat terms.

They are designed for situational awareness when dealing with designed tasks. We are a jack of all trade design. We can sweep floors of the building where we design stealth planes that delivers the nukes that can glass over a section of desert that contains the enemy that threatens us. Along with every support role along this food chain with this single human body design.

Robots/Machines/A.I.’s deal specifically for the task they are designed. One unit that delivers crap from one side of a room to another can not be trained to fly the plane that requires being fueled and loaded with the armament to glass over the desert site that contains the threat against their existence. It requires a separate design for every task. We need a single design.

Though a plane that is supported by others can outfight the humans general purpose factor, in that they can deal with G’s that black us out or kill us. So in a dog fight, it is possible for a drone unit to take out a human unit because the human unit can not physically compete with the drone unit’s abilities. However after the fight that drone is gone without outside support, no fuel, not weapons, no maintenance, etc.

Ground combat is more of a closer call. Though if designed and had the ability of human movement, the machine squad may be able to take a human squad.

In a simulation where human players go up against A.I. players, when the A.I. is a real A.I. with real tactical abilities, not some cheap knock off of a substandard game, humans will tend to get their asses handed to them if they are not super aggressive.

I can tell you from personal experience, those who dig in, get over run. You have to be fluid enough to not get flanked. However you can’t flank if your pinned down. Humans also have an issue with fear. You dig in to save your ass because your getting flanked. So this circle of combat tends to eliminate those who are worried about their own butts against those who focus on elimination of others.

Germans had better equipment then the allies. They had the choice of first placement, and yes they cause serious casualties, however because they where dug in, we pinned them, flanked them and well. The world does not speak German.

Technically as long as they where on the offensive, they where taking real-estate, taking names and kicking ass. When they stopped and went on the defensive, they where eliminated.

A.I.’s set for “easy” on games tend to play the defensive role. Those on “Hard setting are on the offensive role and are aggressive.

A.I.’s ramped up to hyper offensive mode is going to also break humans on the psychological level. We will be pissing ourselves hiding in a trench because they will show aggression that almost no human, that does not have some serious psychological issues, is not capable of showing (in real life, not video games.) Hardened units when faced against superior aggression will tend to withdraw into a defensive stance and draw the aggression to a choke point where they can not get flanked. If they are in the open they tend to get eliminated.

The other part of this equation is air support. (Which is being flanked on a 3-D level, instead of a 2-D ground plane level)

So back to the argument. Machines Vs Humans. We are, in fact, for the purpose of challenging ourselves in the name of entertainment, developing superior combat A.I. capable of besting us in a combat situation. A.I.’s for air combat, A.I.’s for tank combat, A.I.’s for troop, and urban combat, along with A.I’s for naval combat, along with A.I.’s for driving, racing, etc.

We are shelling out $50+ a person for a copy of this latest A.I. in a multi Billion dollar industry called Videogames. Video game developers and their high end programmers are most certainly surpassing military black-hole, think-tank wet dreams.

Under the radar, in the name of video games. No one pays attention for the same reason why old school near retirement persons in media corporations still don’t provide the video game industry with respect, recognition, and at times with down-right contempt stating that it is a colossal waste of a nations time and should be outlawed.

The military has just scratched the surface of how much of an impact this is really going to change everything in the world of combat and military superiority.

Take the creative side out of it and strip it down for military development and it doesn’t work so well. Because they are stripping out the creativity. If DARPA was to simply fund some talented game developers, they would have the prized machine Grail of A.I. while earning back their money instead of flushing it down the toilet. They simply remove the A.I. out of the game, and apply it to drone planes, tanks, ships, and other bigger equipment.

And That, my friends, would be the start of the machine take over of humanity. Management however is keeping humanity very safe from the possibilities of this from ever happening because of incompetents, personal ego, and all those other human trates.

I sleep very well at night knowing Halo-3 is in development and Military structures are incompetent enough that we have people marching on the white house because they don’t understand Terrorist not only have no problem of killing innocent children, that the left wing mistakenly think, we are targeting.

If given the choice the terrorist extremist would kill every left wing person on the face of the earth, because they (left wing) are the ones that need to go first according to the psychopath terrorist agenda. Then they go after the innocent civilian population, and of course children of the infidels.

Machines would be simple. Eliminate everything not machine, no politics, no terrorism, just systematic automatic elimination until the job is done.

If the Videogames A.I. ran Germany and Japan. They would have completed the war before the U.S. could get up to speed and respond to world war II.

Thank god for humans hu?

I’m thinking Machines taking over will never happen, though Game A.I.’s are capable of taking over the higher functions of military applications and directing us humans in times of war. Luckily the U.S. is the powerhouse of this “possible” application of A.I. deployment, and not nations such as Iran, Vietnam, and various others who would pose a threat to free-willed humanity.

Integrating Game combat A.I. into our combat PDA systems may advance our abilities beyond the militaries understanding of elimination of Fog of war and tactical operations.

Fiat Vs Commodity Cash..

-=(Warning)=- My Blogs are more like white papers then minute Blogs. Don’t enter unless you got at least ten to twenty minutes to read and some education to comprehend


Fiat Vs Commodity cash.

For some of you, understanding that fiat money is the blight of society.
For those wondering if I’m talking about Italian cars,.. Fiat money is money that has designated value because it is agreed upon by the institutional entity issuing it and the people who use it.

Quick example. Paper money. It takes the same resources to make a $10 dollar bill as it does to make a $1000 dollar bill. It is only worth ten dollars because the US treasury sez it does, and the thousand dollar bill represents its value because the treasure sez it does, not because they used a thousand dollars worth of paper in it.

Commodity money is money that is back by or made of commodity, such as gold coins. The coin is worth what it is because it is made from actual gold which has a value to it.
A $20 dollar gold coin is much smaller then a $500 dollar gold coin. That is commodity money.

Ok, now for the psychotic rant and a fix.

The blight of society is, all fiat money will eventually reach a value of zero. And as a world wide fiat society we are well on our way.

As a kid finding a dime in the street (yah, I’m old) meant a bag of candy, as in, a whole small bag of candy not just a couple candy bars. I could go to the nickel and dime store (They where called that because most things where under a dime.) and get a pretty nice toy, (which if I still had, would be a collector item worth hundreds of dollars.)

The candy machines with bubblegum and such where a penny for a big jawbreaker.

Now because the fiat money gets devalued over time, now 5 dollars almost make that same bag of candy.
Meaning that the fiat money, U.S. dollar, has devalued by almost 500% since I was 5 years old.
So unless your money is making interest to match or exceed this rate your retirement isn’t going to mean crap and you will be working through your retirement because you won’t be able to afford the basics.

The founding fathers of our nation knew the hazards of this and as such designed the U.S. to be a commodity country. So that the money you earned as a boy would have the same value when you retired at 60. Or in their case when you where 50.

Growth is slower with a commodity structure; however it is stable and doesn’t collapse like during the great depression. The other problem is the U.S. was never designed to be a debited nation our forefathers would be very upset with us right now.

We didn’t have a national debit until World War II, then it was like a teen with a charge card, and now our children are going to be corporate slaves to foreign nations because our generation could not control their spending. That is pissing me off to no end.

This really, really pisses me off, to know no matter what I do, unless I have 500% above what it takes the average person to live on, I won’t be retiring because the devaluation of the U.S. dollar is increasing in an exponential rate.

As the saying goes. The good news is, you’ll be a millionaire! The bad news is, so will everyone else. (This is really a true statement if you make 40k a year, in 25 years you have made a million dollars!) Meaning, you need to be a Billionaire to be what we think a millionaire is, and a millionaire will be what we currently think someone bordering on poverty is 40 years from now.

The problem: The U.S. was a commodity nation, when the world global market came to be, when everyone else was fiat, they coveted the U.S. dollar because it was a commodity and actually worth something. The other nations where sucking out our gold supplies from our nation as they cashed in the dollars.

So we stepped it down, to silver, and then dropped it all together in the interest of saving our gold and silver reserves.

So in the end we decided to screw over our future generations for the sake being in line with all the other unstable nations of the world. (As in financially unstable.)

The answer (Can’t bitch about something unless I can give a fix for it.)
(You can go to sleep now, unless you’re a Micro/Macro economics major)

Commodity/Time-fiat money:

So we would still be circulating the paper money that is only worth the paper and ink that is printed on however it is backed by commodity like in our gold standard days,
HOWEVER it would only be considered commodity money for the Citizens. So a dollar today would be a worth a dollar 40 years from now and not $0.008.

The issue of other nations draining our gold reserve would be rendered mute by the fact that the commodity (gold) would be held in trust only for the nation’s citizens. So if other nations grabbed our money it would be considered a fiat cash for our goods and services to them. They could not cash it out and take our gold supplies overseas it would only be good in the U.S. boarders, so they would need to come back and spend it here, or trade it for products/services. otherwise it is useless outside of our boarders. (though worth a bunch to foreign nations as it is inflation proof to them for our stuff.)

The other problem of others coming into our boarders and cashing the fiat for the commodity backing, that would also be rendered mute by the fact that the gold reserves are being held in trust. Meaning it is locked up. So the gold is there but can not be cashed out as it stays in our reserve to represent the money printed.

Simply having the Gold in the amount that is issued by the national reserves means it doesn’t devalue and doesn’t go through the massive inflation/deflation swings that causes grandma to sell her house that she purchased for $25k, because the taxes are now being levied for a house worth $500k with her fixed income of $28-30k (that was what she was making when she retired some 30+ years ago.)

Granted there isn’t near the same amount of money floating around, but then our $1 would be the equivalent to $500 so products would cost much, much less. A loaf of bread would still be a nickel. So we wouldn’t need such a large amount of cash floating around for people to function.

Now for the equalizer: Time.
Commodity alone doesn’t fix things. The other part of my money equation is that the money is also linked to time, not just commodity. That is a national average of time tables would be linked to the money. Meaning if it took a person an average of 5 minutes to make a loaf of bread (considering bread is done in batches and when all the loafs are done the average is 5 minutes per loaf.) then it would be tied into the cost to prevent price gouging (you know like with oil prices where they are making double digit profits when the gas goes up, suggesting the price never needed to go up or they wouldn’t be making such disproportionate profits.)

So:
1 hour basic unskilled labor would be equal to 1 CT (Commodity-Time) dollar/hour (Basic labor not requiring an education or any skill, sweeping, picking berries, etc.)

1 hour of basic labor = 2 CT Dollars/hour, (labor requiring pre-high school education, such as being able to read, but still unskilled labor anyone can do in their sleep.)

1 hour of Standard labor =3 CT dollars/hour (High school education, reading writing, basic math perhaps, some thinking required.)

1 hour of semi-skilled labor=4 CT dollars/hour (minor collage or apprentice for skilled labor positions.)

1 hour of skilled labor=5 CT dollars an hour (Collage degree required, or skill such as journeyman level classification jobs with technical skill requirements, any skilled trade skills)

So with money being tied into this structure, all regulated services such as medical field, communications or anything else regulated by society would be within reach of even the unskilled section of society, so those who don’t want to work “much” could still afford healthcare because doctors can’t charge way beyond reasonable levels. (in today’s structures even middle income people can not afford medical without insurance because it would break them or strip them of all assets including the house they live in.)

Everyone could afford education if they wanted it. And those in the skilled positions could afford the much nicer things in life such as having nice houses, decent cars etc. So they are not capped at just above poverty like with communist money markets, like with old pre-collapse Russia

Of course things that have no designated hour time/set, such as unregulated services, artists, implementing new technology, can charge more to recover costs and fund further development. So it is possible form someone to charge 6+ CT dollars/hour as agreed upon by all parties involved. Such as painting a tricked out car for example, something that is personal skill that others can't be taught because of needed skill and raw talent.

Foreign trade would be converted value by estimating what the value to creat such an object would be in our boarder. (Cars: Basic cars, luxury cars, commercial vehicles, boats planes, Electronics, furniture, toys, etc.) We can calulate what their dollar is worth to ours and go accordingly.

So things in foreign lands would be comparable to what they pay for things. If it cost $200,000 yen for a car in Japan, our trade value to them would be about the same, as we always update the exchange rate. However cars coming into the Nation would still only cost us $500 bucks for a new car. Just because they have unreasonable inflation doesn’t mean we would. It would still hold the same value as it did 35 years ago. so years down the road when it costs $300,00Yen for the same type of car in Japan, we still only pay $500 for the same car. (starting to see the picture here?)

So global markets would mean nothing to us as it all costs the same inside of the U.S. the only reason why it means so much now is we are fiat cash, they are fiat cash and when we swing or they swing in value it kills us or kills them as to cost of items go way up or way down.

So something that 35 years ago cost 1 month of wages would still cost the U.S. citizen 1 month of wages instead of one year to three years worth of inflated wages. I.e. Cars being the current $35k+ instead of $500 under this structure.

The stable structure would probably lead other nations to follow suit. Families could still afford to live a quality of life on a single income, and those who work full time could easily afford basic heal needs and education. So we keep freetrade intact without having to be communistis in nature to save our economy and allow everyone a piece of the pie. Those who drive to be super rich can still achive this, markets expand and comeate/grow/advance unlike the communistic nature which kills open markets and shifts power to a small group instead of the nation at hand.

This system would almost wipe out the government's control over the nation finantualy so they would never go for something like this.

We would continue to accumulate gold silver to expand our reserves to help deal with increasing population.

I would suggest to start off with one CT Dollar is worth 1/10th of a troy ounce of gold and freeze it at that. That is the current worth of one hour of typical average income for lower-middle income to have food on the table and heat in the house in todays standard. of course this structure would also lock in the value of gold. (or the commodity in question being used)
So 1/10th of a troy ounce is woth 1 CT dollar now, and still worth 1 CT dollar 150 years from now. Though with advancement in technology, items would only get cheaper as we could produce more with the same ammount of time and effort.

The only inflation of value would be gold, if we increased the value, such as setting 1 CT attached to 1/15th of a troy ounce instead of 1/10th.
Then the value of gold went up, however a car would still cost us $500 CT dollars.(or actualy maybe only $420-300 CT Dollars because we can now make 1.6 cars with the effort it used to take to make 1 car.)

So retierment is still grand and medical and food is still for everyone. So it all ends in, Do you want to work. Those gainfully employed would indeed be gainful in their employment. Those wanting to be bums would still be pennyless bums. There is no fixing lack of effort in a human.
If you don't want to work or do anything, you still have the freedom to starve if that is what you really want to do.

OK Folks those armed with shotguns, now is you turn to shoot this full of holes. I don’t have my full structure down but hopefully enough to flesh out the concept.

Psyber's Psychosis

Welcome To my Psychosis, which of course consists of uber brain damaging deconstruction of items people have no business thinking about. (Thinking outside of the brain-box)

A bit more involved in the rants, a bit more scientific in observation, and downright psychotic in thought.

Try and keep up and two word lines tend to be frowned upon. Enjoy
