The Venus Project. The solution.
Our politicians, bankers, and corporations all tell us that we must “grow
the economy” or else DIE. But that economy is destroying our planet. A
concept called “natural capital” has arisen to combat just that. The
Resident (aka Lori Harfenist) discusses. Follow The Resident at

Well said, Lori! Shared on Twitter with my 16,000+ followers!
Greed is a bitch. Nice things are awesome but guess what?? Not when people
can’t afford to have their basic needs met. Want to start a civil war
Capitalists? Keep robbing people of their money through taxes, selling our
jobs overseas, bureaucratizing public service and privatizing large
corporations. We’ll be as glorious as a modern-day Ukraine before you know
it.
Interesting. You should include a link to the professor’s research for us
to check out.
I don’t care about the liberal crap you spew because I want a future. You
will create a hell. A hell in which you need a permit for everything.
People will not live in this hell. Suicide is rampant in autocratic
societies.
First the doom and gloom,then the alternative.The thing is..They both suck
Good point. Ultimately the environment is far more important then the
economy. The environment is the world we live in and on, the economy is a
game we invented that serves some better then others.
and given that Russia does the same in destroying the planet, fracking in
the Arctic, while telling other nations how bad that is, RT being funded by
oil profits by the Tsar. Given Russia has massive pollution problems and
many of it is as a result of the Tsar’s economic policies. Remember RT
says: “Question More”, everything but Russia, or anything but about the
Tsar’s policy. Just suck up to him and defend their massive human rights
abuses or called them: “Misunderstandings” Sorry RT you are in no position
to even say something like this or anything.
Hmm would be a better story if she was calling for all those world bankers
and corporations to pay for their crimes against the people, obvious all
the cadavers that turn up after they go public about something didn’t die a
natural accident, their frauds and scams that are made legal after they
commit them, oh yea the change in my constitutional rights that they
changed for the worse and exempted themselves from, and the communist
healthcare act, to finish gutting and bankrupting, and breaking the backs
of the working class. Come on RT make the change join the ranks of Alex
Jones, Glen Beck, Drudge report, and the many others going unnamed that
really inform you.
Been saying this for years. Jacques fresco has the answer. The venus
project.Get rid of these moronic politicians, money, poverty and war.
This type of growth is cancerous. A new way of life is needed for humans or
we are finished
The truth behind the green mask is also only growing the economy.
The Zeitgeist Movement…. Different societies of the past learned how to
live in balance with themselves and the environment. We need to learn how
to do it for ourselves today.
Infinite growth in a closed system is a technical impossibility ~ its
simply not feasible. The very attempt to keep growing our economy has
already led to multiple environmental tragedies (global warming,
overfishing, deforestation, species mass extinction, pollution, clean water
depletion, strip mining, other resource depletion, globalization leading to
low-bid outsourcing, etc etc.)
Due to this constant push for growth, when our economic growth stops, a
global depression is likely to sink in ~ and except for the rich, it’ll be
one we’re not prepared for. As things are going, the next economic crash
will be inevitable, but at least it might be the trigger for real change
with regards to the massive wealth inequality we’re facing ~ either by
redistribution via overdue taxation or violent revolution. Personally, I’m
hoping for the former, trying to avoid the latter.
Ill grow my economy inside of Lori’s “natural capitol”
consider the source, Russian Televison and trust me they have an agenda.
How can we change the course? Hmmm, wake up maybe. A blanket is still
woven with fabric and your r the fabric. Figure it out.
The concept of Natural Capital is important.
There is more money leveraged on wall street than there is in the entire
worlds GDP ten times over. The “economy” is built on a foundation of
bullshit. No wonder it is likely to collapse at any time.
Interest is the demon.
haha…how about get rid of the parasites who preach form a piece of paper
that is given to them and the ones who write them…the .001%
We’re living behond our means that’s our problem.
And if you want to grow the economy LOWER BUSINESS TAX YOUR FORCING
COMPANIES OVERSEAS
God Green Capitalist Racist Communist Nazi Zionist Liberals Progressive
Teaparty Illuminati and blah blah blah yeah yeah yeah…. the only division
in all of our “societies” is haves and have not’s. The have’s use the pre
mentioned “tools” (+many other distractions), to make the have not’s
(that’s ALL of you reading this and everyone you know) unable to grasp one
simple fact, HAVES have, are and will always steal your wealth. To stop
them all you need to do is plan what you need to do to protect you and
your’s (3G’s is a start). Inform others (especially anyone you know in law
enforcement or military), and say “I do not understand!” “I do not submit!”
and “no”.
Am I the only one who thinks this woman is an idiot?
growth for the sake of growth is the mentality of a virus.
CAPITALIST POWER!
Mother nature can’t fight back and capitalists only understand two things:
money and violence. So too bad, Mother Nature. You lose.
CAPITALIST POWER!
