Time for a system change ...?

We all see where unrestricted capitalism as the dominant economic form , has lead the world to ...

Capitalism gives the individual the possibility to become rich , much richer than needed ... but it creates greed for more and more , and that leads to environmental destruction . To repair this , money is needed , and sometimes money is not enough when the destruction became irreversible already .

Does the world really need individuals like Elon Musk , who has 400 Billion dollars now ? ( 400 thousand millions )

Would it not be better to set a limit on how much somebody can own ? Give the billionaires some privileges , ok , but tax away everything that is over a certain limit . That money could be used for repairing the damage done to the ecosystems ...

To have a good life , nobody needs to be so rich , that it would be impossible to spend all that money anyway ... there would be better use for it .

Communism is no solution either ... a few high ranked leaders become rich and important , while the normal population is not given a real chance to get what they dream of ... personal possibilities to become something or somebody they want are restricted by the system .

Political system should change as well ...

We see with Trump how much power the , once elected , american president gets . All that power to just one person ? that is risky at best . Trump sets up his team of millionaires to govern the people who are indoctrinated that unrestricted capitalism is the best ... it is not .

Anyway , the idea of Nationalities , ethnic differences etc , is all outdated at a time where the survival of a Species is endangered .

This planet needs birth control for it's dominant species , far too many people already .

It needs an immediate reduction of ( plastic ) pollution and all other forms of man made pollution , immediately .

We are drowning in plastic waste , microplastics have even been found in human brains ... it needs to be stopped , but the producers produce even more ... they would profit less ... Sad .

There are alternative lifestyles that are sufficient to make people have a happy life without polluting the environment .

It starts with producing the energy one needs by sustainable sources like solar etc ... enough , everybody knows anyway ...
