“Cheaper things” is an excuse to destroy the planet

I will mention two phenomenas in the following passages that are going on in the world as of now. And then I will merge them together with Government protection and Inequality to provide a novel solution.

First, The rise of people funding. People are funding businesses all around the world, republic.co, etc. Not only that, there is a greater tendency of people taking back their freedom of distribution and monetization through the NFT phenomena which has made news in the finance circles. Soon, many business will go from idea to funding seamlessly online. And we will see this become the norm.

Second, MSME system in Germany. It’s a system where small companies are sharing information with each other and are fully ingrained with the university system. This allows them to stay on the cutting edge of technology and keeps the employment rate and average income very stable in the country.

So now, instead of pillaging the earth for cheaper resources, exploiting poor people, using the cheap ship transport system, and most of all keeping the pay between employees and management an average difference of 300x and in some cases 2000x. We need to focus on small businesses.

Small businesses can connect with each other over a seamless supply chain system. They can share knowledge open source. And even fund businesses in their circles. If there’s a circle of 20 businesses all working together, they can chip in and upgrade any of the business that might be lagging behind and collect an interest rate over the progress of the business. Next, an efficient transport system needs to be developed. It will not be perfect, but this is where Governments have to step in.

It has to be a decision between too big to fail exploitative companies versus small companies all working together seamlessly and on average providing better pay to their employees. Not to mention the new opportunities that open up for more small businesses to come up and get directly welcomed in the ecosystem. This will allow more people to have higher wages.

So, higher wages mean people can afford slightly expensive products. We are talking about 20% more expensive at max. Anything more than that will not happen because of the current state of technology in the world. With Education system working in tandem with this business ecosystem and govt clearly saying, businesses over a certain size are prohibited. This can be the way forward for our civilization.

By saying Scale allows cheaper products that benefits everyone, they are hiding the fact that the problem is power and corruption. Capitalism was not never the problem.
