debtor's prisons are so 1900'sish....
na....we need something a bit more modern...
our government is too broke to run debtor's prisons..
our debt should be sold to corporations and wealthy institutions.
then well, if any business, corporation, or institution that fails to pay thier debt, well.....another should come along to buy theirs off.
then well....that owner of your debt decides weather they want you to work for them, or rent you off to another stable company...
our infrastruction is shot to hades anyways.....we can bulldoze it and start over.
build better cities, with global warming, energy efficiency and all that in mind. a city can consist or several businesses, living quarters for their
workers, a cafeteria, and well, maybe a few stores for those who have money to buy other needed items.
the vast majority of worker's pay will be applied to their debt....leaving them with little to spend anyways, no need for all these malls and
such.
these small cities will be built so that no cars are needed to go from home to work, to cafeteria, to stores ect.....maybe some small electric
golfcarts for the elite will suffice.
travel between cities will be rare, since the debtors will for the most part be prohibited from leaving them.
since you are feeding and providing for the people en mass it will be more cost effective.
and well....what I just attempted to describe is the city I saw in the future....
long time ago, when I just couldn't see how such a thing was even possible...
there's more to it than this, but well....
now I can see it as a possiblility...
of course, that futuristic city also had trade barriers set up against it, a problem with genetic mutations, a class of people who were genetically
mutated for warfare, and the world's biggest beggers...
welcome to the future, hope it isn't the same one!!
