How about have medical treatment available to the mentally ill instead of having to spam a word war with the insurance industry to fund care? |

Supply and demand are at equilibrium when it comes to price - or the amount that the supplier (manufacturer, chapman) is willing to release and deliver to the demander (customer, chap), the amount which is sufficient for the supplier to resupply his stock and get the things he needs. Their are fat t... |

With this resource based economy, no one barters. Everyone has access to everything, and as much as they need. Nothing more , and nothing less. . This is where I see the RBE as unsustainable even if it could ever be set up. It assumes that people will simply accept the decision (made by software?) ... |

So basically, barter. You're still thinking within the realms of a society that exists on trade, and not thinking of how one can exist without it. This is almost the first and foremost stumbling block with the Zeitgeist Movement. With this resource based economy, no one barters. Everyone has access... |

Resource-Based Model versus what? Or do you mean Tangible-Based Model? A lot of what the Zeitgeist movement is based upon is A) a reaction to the basket-crowding¹ of the finance sector and B) naïvete of what money² is. ¹ Basket-crowding refers to the basket of goods one buys. Crowding the basket mea... |

It would depend on the circumstance. Though for most terminal incapacitations, it is a little more clearcut. |

Das war keinen Deutsch. Ich kann lesen Deutsch und das war nicht die Sprachen auf der Teuton.
Mentally disabled? Are you reading what I am writing or are you seeing the words you want to see? I specifically stated "mentally incapacitated." Go look for yourself. |

This thread has been a joy for me to read. I am loving how it is unfolding and I was a bit concerned that it would not entertain me as much as other threads. |

I had a family friend who had tricked the doctors into diagnosing him with Asperger's to get AISH (Alberta's disability.) He was pulled after they determined he didn't get the right doctor's opinion (no neuro-psychologic tests were performed.) It is possible to be too loose with the diagnosis. Espec... |

There is a deep and convoluted involvement with WP and AS. The seedy story goes back years when Alex sold his soul to the Judge Rotenberg Center. |
