PEACE - Quotes

If a GLI were to become a reality-it's not just about giving money to people-it would completely unseat the ruling class, because where would you get slaves from? Where would you get workers for horrible, harmful jobs? How would you get people to go in the army? "Now, go over here to kill or be killed?" They'd say, "Hey, I've got a guaranteed livable income, what do I need to go off and kill other people in foreign places for?" The lack of income is turning young men into killers and turning women into a shadow of what women are. With the unseating of the old hierarchies, if that were to change-and GLI would change that-then the whole structure of our planet would change. This whole system of slavery would be over. -Stephanie
