i think i figured out why im not happy with how the current economical system is set up. its becuse i don't own my own means of production, its becuse i am someone elses means of production. Also if i did manage to create my own money generating system chances are it'll start off slow, maby even never be profitable. i guess im learning some skills at my current job, like how to fold boxs fast, cut pizzas and strech dough and talk to people on the phone.

i think my discontent is becuse i think of the system as making me a replaceable part in a machine, the one im a gear in currently is called dominos. it's true someone off the street might take a couple months to get good at somethings possibly. i just wished i made my own money instead of help get someone elses their's, for a amount that turns an hour of my time to a value of 6.50. cheap plastic toys cost more then two hours of my time. its frustrating, then it seems you have to have money to make money, money that bills and other costs take away. technology seems like a possible answer, if we made basic tools and neccesity production cheap, would we be able to distribute them on a free basis? allow people to work for creation instead of working to live, paycheck to paycheck. would it allow people to live for the enjoyment of living, i still need to figure out details but does it sound reasonable. i don't think dictatorship or making people have equal monetary value in their pockets going to do it. maby making machines slaves to boring tasks that doesn't neccassaly do much for a person or sociaty other then provide a fast pizza or teach them how to strech a dough out. any ways what you guys think?
