Welcome To 2030: I Own Nothing, Have No Privacy And Life Has Never Been Better
https://www.forbes.com/sites/worlde...ifferently-well-live-in-2030/?sh=65f89f001735

Welcome to the year 2030. Welcome to my city - or should I say, "our city." I don't own anything. I don't own a car. I don't own a house. I don't own any appliances or any clothes.

It might seem odd to you, but it makes perfect sense for us in this city. Everything you considered a product, has now become a service. We have access to transportation, accommodation, food and all the things we need in our daily lives. One by one all these things became free, so it ended up not making sense for us to own much.

First communication became digitized and free to everyone. Then, when clean energy became free, things started to move quickly. Transportation dropped dramatically in price. It made no sense for us to own cars anymore, because we could call a driverless vehicle or a flying car for longer journeys within minutes. We started transporting ourselves in a much more organized and coordinated way when public transport became easier, quicker and more convenient than the car. Now I can hardly believe that we accepted congestion and traffic jams, not to mention the air pollution from combustion engines. What were we thinking?

Sometimes I use my bike when I go to see some of my friends. I enjoy the exercise and the ride. It kind of gets the soul to come along on the journey. Funny how some things seem never seem to lose their excitement: walking, biking, cooking, drawing and growing plants. It makes perfect sense and reminds us of how our culture emerged out of a close relationship with nature.

In our city we don't pay any rent, because someone else is using our free space whenever we do not need it. My living room is used for business meetings when I am not there.

Once in a while, I will choose to cook for myself. It is easy - the necessary kitchen equipment is delivered at my door within minutes. Since transport became free, we stopped having all those things stuffed into our home. Why keep a pasta-maker and a crepe cooker crammed into our cupboards? We can just order them when we need them.

That's been covered a few times in the thread, it's just an opinion piece.

The author of that blog post, Ida Auken, was not "spelling out their early goals". Please cite or show where that is the case if you think I'm wrong.

It's pretty clear to me that that blog post is the musing of a pretty whacky, futuristic European socialist whose main professional connections are to recycling and re-use companies. If you want to extrapolate this lady's thinkpiece as some kind of official stance on future policy-making, well...That's you imagining, fantasizing and coming to your own conclusions.

When I first heard about the great reset theory/conspiracy I laughed and though it was absurd.

Then as each step that it predicted started happening I started going nah just a coincidence.

Right about now it doesn't seem so far fetched anymore does it?

 

[2fast2see]

Conspiracy theories aside, there is something fishy about the Great Reset

The real Great Reset

The magic words are ‘stakeholder capitalism’, a concept that WEF chairman Klaus Schwab has been hammering for decades and which occupies pride of place in the WEF’s Great Reset plan from June 2020. The idea is that global capitalism should be transformed so that corporations no longer focus solely on serving shareholders but become custodians of society by creating value for customers, suppliers, employees, communities and other ‘stakeholders’. The way the WEF sees stakeholder capitalism being carried out is through a range of ‘multi-stakeholder partnerships’ bringing together the private sector, governments and civil society across all areas of global governance.

The plan from which the Great Reset originated was called the Global Redesign Initiative. Drafted by the WEF after the 2008 economic crisis, the initiative contains a 600-page report on transforming global governance. In the WEF’s vision, “the government voice would be one among many, without always being the final arbiter.” Governments would be just one stakeholder in a multi-stakeholder model of global governance. Harris Gleckman, senior fellow at the University of Massachusetts, describes the report as “the most comprehensive proposal for re-designing global governance since the formulation of the United Nations during World War II.”

I've seen a lot of people use the Great Reset hashtag to explain some sort of totalitarian global government that's on the horizon a lot on here and on Twitter.

I've also been told they were openly talking about taking the steps they were going to take.

I've since looked at the open information on the World Economic Forum's site linked below

https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/06/now-is-the-time-for-a-great-reset/

I can't see anything on there that seems related to what people talk about on here. I've started to watch a couple of vidoes and will watch more but from what I've watched so far the president of Colombia wants to increase availability of technology to poor people and allow poor farmers to broker direct deals and cut out the middleman and make virtual doctors available to people in poor areas who struggle to get access to medicine.

What's negative about that?

We Americans say fuck the “Great Reset”, fuck the WEF, fuck all communist United Nations agendas, fuck this Schwab commie and if you think tossing the constitution of the United States out the window and handing over all of our inherent human rights to a world government sounds like a good idea then fuck you too, TS.

You haven't read the thread and are being extremely reactionary as to what it's about.

I’ve read both United Nations Agenda 21 and Agenda 30. Both are completely un-American and this falls right in line with both of them.

Leave it to government and industry to solve all of the worlds problems, what could go wrong...




You’re asking what it is, I know what it is and I would rather have the shit government and the constitution that I have here in the United States than to be under the leadership of some one world world government run by communists.

Definitely the fantasy of some radical liberal who cant conceptualize the fact that people are different than her/she/they and don't necessarily want the same things out of life that her/she/they want.

Fantasy sometimes becomes reality though. You may disagree with this person's views and how they romanticize such a lifestyle but there's no doubt it will become true. I don't think it will happen by 2030 though but I could definitely see a future where people just use an app to signal down an driverless car to take them places without any need of owning a car.

Home ownership will eventually go the way of China where you only "own" it for like 70 or 80 years.

We've had a 24 page thread discussing it though, we're quite a bit further on than the OP at this stage.

 

[Greta Thunberg]

People have have to shake this notion that government and big corporations are harmless. Historically, they've been the most evil and manipulative people in the world. They have the highest concentration of psychopaths, sociopaths, and narcissists. Humanity is nothing but livestock to them.

The “Great Reset” is the specifically laid out plan by the 1% and the politicians under their control making up all new rules of the game and enslaving everyone else for the “betterment of humanity and the planet”.

It’s a very simple to understand plan, no matter how TS spins it.

Yeah I'm gonna go with a no on that one. Enjoy your uptopian idea of communism but hopefully much smarter people will intervene and put an end to that nonsense. Living life like that should be an option for the radicals in San Francisco but don't even attempt to push that shit on the people who want to live freely.

Holy crap learn to read. That wasn't an endorsement, that should've been clear when I said he is romanticizing it. I simply said it is going to happen whether we like or not unless there is some sort of massive revolution.

 

[Greta Thunberg]

We've had a 24 page thread discussing it though, we're quite a bit further on than the OP at this stage.

You started a thread asking a very specific question and when information was presented to you you spent the rest of the time trying to convince people that what they were reading “isn’t so bad”.

Basically you started a thread just to defend the great reset. You lied to us and you fully understand what it means and are on board with it.

If you want the government and corporations to have complete control of your life that’s fine but you’re gonna have a hard time convincing anybody with a fucking brain that it’s a good idea.

I didn't lie about anything, all the information I've discussed is freely and openly available.

We’ve had a great reset in Toronto Canada for at least 5 years now, where foreign investors buy the homes and forge the locals out, destroying the housing market and ensuring the an entire generation of millennials can never own property. And the government is in on it.
