the idea is a co op, where people pool resources and cut costs

the people who control the world have the masses by the balls

Because we depend on them for everything we need to survive.

It's convenient, not having to think of another way..

Though it has become not cost effective..

The industrial revolution

Made mass production possible.

Which in turn, allowed people to live a comfortable life at low cost.

Though they've become greedy and through monopolies , in every aspect of our lives,

have intentionally made the cost of living go up.

To combat this: With the advent in 3d printing, we could easily make molds to make the machinery to manufacture anything

Though one step at a time

The idea for the 1st step

A competition for fellow

artists and musicians to make money off their work..

by eliminating the middle man

With digital media, at this point there is nothing stopping someone from

recording or stealing music.

Yet we would hope that people would be interested in buying music for $1

Knowing

that the artist is receiving 85% of the profit

and the rest goes to the greatest cause, empowering the world.

Allowing people to buy direct from visual artist and giving them better prices

for prints and T-shirts by buying bulk

That 15% of sales would go to a concert event and ticket sales would fund a building of a new colony within America, focused on providing cost effective homes and lifestyle.

What we spend the money on should be completely transparent and listed by importance to be democratically decided on..

By the colonists who wish to live there.

So I'm attempting to make something like a forum..

To give people a taste of democracy...

I feel it's important to show the possibilities of mass producing quality homes for just a few thousand dollars.

Though it pains me to go to alibaba.com... At this point you can buy from middle men in America who get their products from overseas

or get them direct in quantity..

20,000 tickets x $100= 2,000,0000 So if there's $2,000,000 dollars from the LOVE concert the idea is vote on the most reasonable

economic setup to challenge the world.. 2 million dollars will buy you 1-5 houses in this economy...

Using logic to decide the first steps..

For instance: We could manufacture our own roofs or buy them in bulk

a tin plant will cost $200,000 and we'd get roofs for $100 a ton instead of 500

so the payoff might not been seen for years...

So we'll get to that at some point, but for the first steps, lets focus on something that will save us a lot now without a lot of costs

all we need to make windows is a kiln... While $50 a window x 4 at least four is a large portion of our cost.

Windows are made with glass and plastic.. Glass is just heated sand

A kiln can be made with clay and sand is nearly free so if we had a 3d printer to make the moldings

The cost of the 3D printer, plus making sure we have someone who can work one

The windows should cost maybe a dollar each plus the time it would take for someone to make them

So once we have the windows manufactured we'd decide on the next step..

Democracy is all about information...

In a republic, the goal is to keep a secret, for ones self, so you can profit off the knowledge

While democratically, people can (pool) their information as well.

if there's a question or problem, one would hope that one of the 500 would have the wisdom for a good solution..

Hopefully 3 or 4... Their task would be to brief the others and come to a vote..

A democratic colony would be like a team:

all sharing the information, cutting costs and pooling the resources.

and always have the advantage of buying in bulk/ manufacturing it..

Without the dictatorship / illusion found in communism.

Though do you see what this means? Once the home is built People would no longer be a slave to landlords and banks

They would no longer have to spend 40 hours a week working or sucking dicks or selling drugs or without paying $50,000 to the colleges

or whatever it is people do to drive a car and live a normal life in this economy.

The property tax for the land would be split by

everyone and the water bill..

It takes a little more time to cook for a hundred people then it does for 4...

So with 500 people, 3 meals a day and 4 people working to prep and make a meal One would have to cook for everyone about once every 40 days.

and with the solar panel / power bank

they could easily spend all day playing on their phone but hopefully they wouldn't want to.

I'd hope that they would spend their time building a castle with a moat and just ridiculous gardens to attract tourists and potentially other colonists

The quest for "

The fact is, everyone wants beautiful places like these to hang out in..

Though not by themselves..

& not with just strangers..

What if every day we worked to make it a better place for our loved ones?>P>

If you couldn't think of anything to work on there may be projects going on where they need labor, since they haven't developed a system for a machine to do it yet... For example: forming bricks to be baked in the kiln.

So lets say we have a cool 2 million from the concert

we could easily buy land, a bobcat like deal and all that's necessary to produce at least 500 homes

there 500 adults on this colony

we need a few acres

People make suggestions as to why we should build in one place

others make counter arguments of why they aren't good places

until 10 places are acknowledged as preferable

People who've spent time researching the matter break it down for the rest of us: Maybe there's 5 specialists who argue that one places is more budget friendly or another doesn't have as much regulations

maybe there's a freshwater supply in one place or the land is more fertile somewhere else.

Though eventually people vote amongst the choices and the one with the most votes is purchased. Why?

I was at a restaurant getting the steak and eggs special and my waitress seemed unhappy to be there but she recently had a child and she dearly wanted to get away from a risky life. I think often the payoffs of such are not nearly enough and most likely single moms will find that they DO have to engage in risky behaviors just to stay alive and take care of their child. On top of the rising costs of living, the cost of child care is preposterous I do not think this is fair, by any means and to those who find themselves trapped in a life they don't want I'd especially like to find an alternative.. For they hold the future I feel it's important for us as Americans to boss up and take care of America's children and provide them with positive male role models. and also create and sustain more children raised in an atmosphere of abundance that working together can bring.

Machinists and people who understand 3d printing and making molds would be essential to obtaining the means of production.. So we would hope that they could be coerced to join the artists, writers, musicians and craftsmen as we attempt to gain control of our lives independently. To produce a culture that is rich and meaningful.
