You didn't mention in your article some important trends. Take San Francisco for example. Tent city, filth in the streets, crime out of control, business moving out because of it. Defund the police. DAs not enforcing the laws, etc. Drugs , crime , illegal immigrants, BLM, riots will only lead to more of the same

Exactly - I work with several software vendors who are based in SF and Seattle. The employees I interact with have all moved-out due the deteriorating conditions in the city due to basic lawlessness and deterioration of public safety.

A modern economy circulating products and services throughout the world doesn’t need money or sovereign countries (national currencies) to be successful. Today, we’ve the scientific knowledge and technological skills to convert our natural and artificial resources into daily life-sustaining deliverables: food, housing, education, healthcare, infrastructure, and employment demands. What we lack is unity, a global framework built upon fair and humane laws and safe and healthy industrial practices. I hypothesize that humanity can end poverty and reduce pollution by abandoning wealth and property rights, and instead adopt and implement an advanced resource management system that can provide “universal protections for all”. Replacing customary political competition altogether, this type of approach, which I named facts-based representation, allows us a better way to govern ourselves and our communities, basing policy and decision making on the latest information, in turn improving the everyday outcomes impacting our personal and professional lives.
