If alien come to earth, they will be shocked by the fact that human on earth will starve just because money printer is not working

Or maybe because it's printing too much.

Now, how could we live without money? If I go to a restaurant without money, how do I pay? Or would they feed me for free? Free beer, too?


There exists a need for regulation and centralization; the Libertarian's wet dream of decentralized EVERYTHING would fail because it would require people to act not on impulse, but for the greater good.

That borders on socialism, no? And look how successful that's been in history.

Those opposed to welfare are Fucked. We are headed towards a future where automation will allow for 95% of people not needed, and 5% of human labour will be all that's needed to generate the world's GDP. When we get there... you either give the people that "aren't needed" a welfare or prepare for a total catastrophe.
