Nothing 'needs' to be changed on this planet. I really can't see why so many people are 'pissed' about the ambiguous 'way things are right now', I really can't. Sure, suffering and stuff might elicit a few tears, but really, it isn't that bad. Nothing that isn't fixable, it might actually go away of its own accord.
But what I find hardest about it to understand is that environmentalists, socialists and virtually everyone who 'stand up' for the ones who 'can't stand up for themselves' seem to blame capitalism and free markets for everything that they regard as bad. Really, I need you to believe me: I CAN'T UNDERSTAND THIS. The thing is, it's very easy for the people to control the world, avoiding a situation where 'fat cats' and people 'behind the scenes' running the show is so ridiculously easy.
I want you to listen closely, because this is how you, yes, you!, can change the world: put your money where your mouth is. Habitually. Make sure that every time you put your money somewhere, it's where your mouth is, when your buying groceries/cars/whatever. Do you realize what this leads to in a free market? If the people, the consumers, are 'environmentally conscious', 'socially conscious' or what have you and put their money where their mouths are it will (obviously) lead to these 'nice' companies being successful while the 'meanies' will go bankrupt! It's really that easy!
We don't need a 50% tax pressure to have free health care (we don't even need a state), we need people to give money to organizations they deem fit to distribute free
health care! And what's more, the companies will have to compete on a free market to get your money (since they cannot 'steal' your money legally, like certain entities can), you can give your money to the people you deem most fit to utilize these monetary resources, it's all up to you!
But anyway, that wasn't what i was originally planning to say. I wanted to say that we should go into space instead!
