    Lolol, lets compare that to capitalism numbers. Don’t forget to compare suffering too, since everyone seems to overlook quality of life, injuries, and slavery, in favor of just one sliver of the many metrics of deaths. So, don’t forget to calculate the indirect deaths caused by capitalism too lol

    Because now they are draining income from tenants without providing services. Landlords don’t work, but get money, not just from thin air, but from the people who live in those places. To pay enough for the landlord and the property manager it requires more money than just a property manager. Not to mention landlords have no one stopping them from just increasing rent if the laws don’t stop them and they raise it with other landlords (which is happened right now). What are people going to do? Move? To another place that’s just as expensive? Plus moving is expensive by itself.

    I see what you are trying to say, but its missing huge chunks of what’s happening in actuality.






  • Remove the peoples trust/value from it. Make societies (even small scale households/towns) around a currency-less system with things taken care of by each other using no money, just an agreement (it’s how communities used to work for thousands of years before capitalism, so it’s completely do-able). Or use a new money if you wanna start the failed capitalistic orphan grinder up again. Essentially starve the currency from trust/value to people and its value goes back to what it was, nothing. Money has no intrinsic value so if you make systems outside of that currency that stops people from requiring it, all the made up value goes back to zero.
