A crash course in changing the world.
Capitalism's Gift to the World.
In ten years i will be working as a freelance translator between English and German, and trying to get a studio to produce one of my TV pilots. i will not drive a car. I will live a house with a bunch of other young people. I'll still be running my website about the global economy. i'll be involved in the urban gardening movement in Portland, trying to live as much as possible on food that me and my friends grow out of the ground. i'll spend most of my money on pens and parts for my computer. i will always be writing.
and why will i be special? what makes me skilled? i have had a soft sheltered life. i like my parents, have tons of friends, hell i liked middle school and highschool i've never worked when i wasn't volunteering, i've been lucky even for an american.
and i think that this very fact is what will make me useful. unlike most of my friends with their intense, complicated family issues, relationships, success stories and generally important life experiences here I am. safe and sound through no fault of my own and able to take all the great issues of the world directly into my heart. in ten years i won't be doing much for myself, i wont be writing as much as i should. I'll be thinking about climate change. because climate change is the thing that moves me. i will be the willing tool of the movement to save the world without any distractions. because I have grown up among such nurturing conditions, i am doubly responsible to help the world, as an artist as a laborer, as an organizer researcher strategist i will fill anyone's shoes. i am capitalism's gift to the world. my only function is to help. In 2020 i will be ready and willing.

and help other people, who have more difficult lives, to find their own ways of helping
so often it seems like people are too busy to use their lives for good. we need to make doing good easier for them.

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
