| How about have medical treatment available to the mentally ill instead of having to spam a word war with the insurance industry to fund care? |

This is where I see the RBE as unsustainable even if it could ever be set up. It assumes that people will simply accept the decision (made by software?) ... |

| So basically, barter. You're still thinking within the realms of a society that exists on trade, and not thinking of how one can exist without it. This is almost the first and foremost stumbling block with the Zeitgeist Movement. With this resource based economy, no one barters. Everyone has access... |

| Resource-Based Model versus what? Or do you mean Tangible-Based Model? A lot of what the Zeitgeist movement is based upon is A) a reaction to the basket-crowding¹ of the finance sector and B) naïvete of what money² is. ¹ Basket-crowding refers to the basket of goods one buys.

Das war keinen Deutsch. Ich kann lesen Deutsch und das war nicht die Sprachen auf der Teuton.
Mentally disabled? Are you reading what I am writing or are you seeing the words you want to see? I specifically stated "mentally incapacitated." Go look for yourself. |
