Karma Currency
it started as a way of living, and turned into something amazing.
12. Ways to Improve National Karma
1. Don't lend currency at interest
It's as fundamental as slavery. Technically this should be a revision to the slavery amendment. You can't lend currency at interest. It's not feasable in terms of really accurately defining a GNP. And if you're trying to lend the whole world currency at the same interest rate, it's not going to work. You can fool the stupid soldiers with the money you print them and tell them it's real. But you can't fool everyone, and you're only fooling yourself if you think that the world will continue to operate under its current conditions.
You're going to have to let Al Gore win, and let him try to unwind the environmental mess that we're now in. I would vote for him to be the first president after the revolution.
2. Don't ship your manufacturing industry overseas.
And import only the raw materials that you can't extract locally. Get a good relationship going with true industry providers. . Get rid of the dow jones and the system that runs the supply and shipment of raw materials around the world. Disassemble Exxon/Mobil/OPEC and all of the other linked inflation oil companies under the suspicion that they're operating in violation of every Antitrust rule in the book.
3. Contest their currency with a new system
And that new system is called Karma. It's a social experiment, let's just say, that we're performing. The first printing of Karma dollars is going to be k1000 in denominations of:
30 x 20k
20 x 10k
10 x 5k
150 x 1k
And i guess that's kind of an interesting equation becasue that makes the 5k's the most valuable, in terms of scarcity.
To produce these, i'll be spraypaint stencilling pieces of paper that has been cut out of books that i obtained for free at the local bookstore. Those will be handed out to individuals who have earned my karma. These are people who i feel i owe a certain amount of debt to in terms of gratitude for the things that they have done for me in the past. Among those people who, in my system of currency, deserve a margin of
victory are Joe Comfort, who saved my life twice while growing up.
But since i only get $1000 pieces of karma, that means that this is the entire value of my ability to reciprocate. And when i run out of my own karma, for one reason or another, i can do one of two things:
A. I can try to piece together a picture of how much karma i have to give, provided that i am fair about what i have earned from others. The other way of doing it is to just produce a second run of 1000 karmas. But that devalues the first run of karma by 50%, meaning that everyone that i gave karma to the first time around is essentially divided in half in terms of the value of that karma.
Which is natural because good karma fades, and you have to keep making more of it.
So let's see how well Karma currency goes. It's going to be the best thing around, as far as i'm concerned. Because we know what American currency is worth. It's worth nothing but slavery to the G20 for everyone who is not a member of the G20 (which accounts for about... 99% of the world, approximately). Even if it were the g40, that's only 40 more people, in proportion to the number of people on the planet. It still doesn't make a dent in that 99%.
2010. Get ready for a wild ride.
[national karma]
national karma is the amount of value to the goodness of the future your nation is providing.
Currently the national karma is -50.
We can change that very gradually but every point below 0 is a difficult point to overcome.
Here is how to get our natioinal karma back to at least 0. Possibly even 1.
49. Eliminate poverty
48. We manufacture goods at home
47. We start shipping more than we import
46. We make laws that promote technological progress and tech integration
45. We revitalize the education system with a new QW curriculum
44. We nationalize education through continuing education
43. We pay for nationalized education with volunteer mandates
42. Eliminate Clearchannel and other media monopolies
41. Eliminate deals with OPEC. Prepare not to drive.
40. Self-sufficientize the electrical grid network to support daily living, but to shut down industry in the event of resource shortage. (needs to be explained).
39. Nationalize non-fossil fuel burning mass transportation
38. Disassemble the invasion military
37. Revitalize the border system and enforce immigration law
36. Rewrite immigration law to be fair and put each case in the hands of a judge.
35. Pass laws forcing building owners to modernize structures with appropriate levels of insulation and renewable energy resources.
34. Divert military funding to pay for grants handed to businesses who are capable of matching the criteria.
33. Also obtain funding from the noncompliant business owners.
32. Disassemble the federal reserve and recalibrate all american currency so that the dollar has 3 times the value. (this is to keep up with the chinese!)
31. Retrain police to be more aware of the legal properties of the law, and discuss repercussion.
30. Design special jail for police guilty of power abuse
29. Release all drug related offenders and ship them to Honduras (Where there's lots of drugs!) (Don't tell Honduras.)
28. Quarantine all offensive waste to a place in space (future of the moon).
27. Prepare for steep population decline
26. Reinforce the defense military to protect American domestic interests
25. Break all ties with Saudi Arabia.
24. Don't get involved in international wars unless properly provoked. Then F shhh up.
23. Stand guard against improper use of the law
22. Put Bush Admin on trial for war crimes at an international summit.
21. To be continued.
Even with all the imagination in the world, i can only decline the list of ways to return American National Karma to -21. Maybe along the way we can find the other 21 missing pieces.
WHY THIS SYSTEM IS ESTABLISHED AS SUCH
It's because you alone are the sole decider of your own karma.
It's because society alone is capable of determining its karma.
It's because we as a nation can only solve issues as a nation.
And it's obvious that money isn't working.
It works for some, but some work for it, and it's not working back.
