There are solutions to economic problems but it does not seem that help is going to come from any of the usual sources. It takes creative thinking.
How do members of trading systems think? Members of economic systems have been trained. They have been trained to think individualistically. A. Merkel of Germany is doing this. This is the simple reflex of: “I will protect my own.”
However since we live in an interconnected global system, what each person does affects the other.

You cannot think only of yourself.
Not only is thinking about oneself alone not the only way to think, but also that is not how the system works. It works based on mutual interdependence.
Systems work that way, all systems do. If one person is generous, everyone has to be (it is the same for selfishness, isn’t it?) There is such a thing as capitalist generosity.

F capitalist charity.
Ha ha. Nice? Ha ha ha.
F compradors too.
Oh, I just saw an “edit reply” button. You have no power over me anymore, L. I am going to leave this here for an hour then I am going to get rid of you.
Well, you’re going to need someone to blame it on.
Same ole capitalist crap now on the internets.
My comments are actually not that, not the same old capitalist crap. So what you said is not true. What part of this did you read? Just the WORD “capitalist.” That is a word. You do not seem to understand the word “nice” either.
Did you ever read this piece in the first place? A piece that I found it worth my time and effort to post because I do things in a NICE way. Maybe I am a bad person too, in some ways, but you did not take the time to see what it was that was put up there, on your famous “internets” that you like so much, and on one particular website, run by nice people. How much of the world do you see when you open your eyes? Just a word like “capitalist?”
You never considered that maybe I had something to say. You missed most of what was being said. What else in life you miss, dude?
Sorry, comrade. I did read the whole thing. Needs work. For example, “the system” does not work by mutual interdependence, it works by exploitation. You may rejoin, “it will not long work that way”, but it has long worked that way, and it won’t much longer because the crapitalist system is exhausted.
So, please try again, comrade.
You do not want to be nice, do you?
Dude, you’re too tough to be nice to.
