[EM] Alexander Praetorius, regarding Frome, U.K.

[Alexander Praetorius]

I'm sad to say, that it's hard for me to imagine what politicians could do
to improve the situation of people in their everyday life.
I can see how "business" can and does change the every day life of people.
It's about whether people earn money,    because *MONEY = VOTES*, it gives
people the power to vote on what they want others to do for them.
It's about whether people spend money, because *MONEY = VOTES*, it gives
people the power to vote on what they want others to do for them.

Most people have very few "votes" and need to earn more in order to get
more.
Most people have NO SAY in how they do business and earn money - even when
they choose their profession, the decide early in their life and transition
is not trivial.

*This is how REAL DEMOCRACY works!*
1. MONEY = VOTES
2. BUYING = VOTING
3. SELLING = BEING a CANDIDATE that others can VOTE for :-)

*AND YES...*
The way our current money works is pretty flawed and so our "REAL
DEMOCRACY" is pretty broken, but to make it work, the rules around
democracy (which is how money works), needs to be fixed, to make it mean
something in the ways i describe above.
The ECONOMY is our real democracy and people buy/sell every day and thus
participate EVERY DAY.
We need to UPGRADE this democracy, by:
1. fixing money (and talk about what could be fixed)
2. augmenting it with all kinds of apps/meetings/events/activities that
inform people better and guide this democracy

*The FAKE BULLSHIT (which is voting every couple of years on which party
(they are the same anyways) gets king for a period of time) has to disolve.*

This might sound radical, but please step back for a while and imagine,
that money would work not as it works today with central banks and rigged
rules (see europe/greece), but in the best possible version you could
imagine - basically some kind of utopia/fairytale currency... (which might
not be so far away from today if you have ever heard of a technology called
"BLOCKCHAIN") ...so under this light, maybe what i describe as "REAL
DEMOCRACY" makes sense? :-)
