That was the headline from the Santa Ana “Daily Evening” Register on Monday, October 28, 1929.

f the world markets crash next week, the headline would likely read: “Trillions lost …”
How would you react to reading or hearing something like that?
Would you throw up your hands and say that there is nothing to be done?
Would you passively watch your standard of living drop to a level you’ve never known before? Would you accept that this situation must be endured until the markets recover even if it may take what’s left of your lifetime?
Would you think that there is no other option?
This is the whole point of the blog: To ask the uncomfortable questions and to remind us that we have a very real option to reject the artificial limitations that money imposes on humanity.
We have a rare moment of self-awareness to prevent a worldwide economic depression by collectively agreeing that the “economic” element is unnecessary. Money markets exist on the assumption that our welfare is tied to their health.
If we took a leap of faith by trusting we can survive with the systems that already deliver objects of consumption through existing distribution channels without the need for money exchanging hands, then humanity will have taken a collective evolutionary leap.
The catch is that we need to make that leap before the next “Crash” happens.
To not do so means we deserve what’s coming.
I trust the majority agrees that we don’t.
