Time to get organized people. Form community strongholds. Provide for everyone and everyone provides for you. We need the help of farmers, engineers, electricians, plumbers etc - the reward? Security, no bullshit mortgage, no debt, no money. We all contribute to each other.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24338103 I agree, contribution as a whole not just for the self. Everyone will me much happier. :)
Reminds me of a barter type system that was in place here years ago - unsure if it still is.
LETS - Local Exchange Trade System.
I pay a small admin fee, maybe ten bucks.
I have a trade, goods or service/s to offer in exchange with other members.
So the exchange rate is 'green dollars'.
I do a haircut and charge another member 20 green dollars.
My account is credited.
Down the track, I have a need for a trade/goods/service..
I've now earned 300 green dollars. I can credit it to any other member who provides what I request.
Totally fair, from what I see.
Brilliant. Legal. An 'association'.
Edit to add:
cool! it's still in operation, and global! Here's the link for the Oz LETS:
