Sure he’s an idiot in many ways, but can he awaken to the inevitability of the robotic economic evolution and so take us in the only viable economic future which is the leisure state? To me the constitution will stop any fascist tendencies by the republican party, so I could give a damn about who is the next president so long as they got the monetary system right so that there is an actual future that ends the rule of Finance. De-throne, de-tooth and make Finance take its smaller and proper place in the community of business models and all manner of the nation’s and the world’s problems become imminently more resolvable and probably no-brainers. It’s the keystone issue we all face.

As I have said before ideas are what are powerful. And new paradigms are the most powerful ideas. What if Trump or Hillary were to change the paradigm of full time employment from 40 hours a week to 15-20 hrs. Just declare it. Make it optional for those who truly love their jobs and/or make such a good income that they wouldn’t want to work less, but let the rest of the population be free to decide to embrace that new idea. Part time work is actually the trend anyway. This way the unemployment rate would immediately be cut almost in half thereby throwing a bone to the die hards obsessed with work and employment while also giving most of the populace a base of structure within which they could better adjust to the leisure state. But the real kicker is the realization could be made by all that no matter whether we had the current number of hours worked by fewer and fewer people or the same number of hours in a new definition of full employment….there simply isn’t enough income being produced….to make the economy function….which makes the idea of a direct supplement to people’s incomes, especially as jobs ever more disruptively disappear, the obvious solution.

If Trump or Hillary want to become enshrined as one of the most future oriented, caring, wise and best presidents we’ve ever had…all they need to do is wake up, declare a new idea and follow the inevitable trends.
