Idk, I feel like if that was the plan it had the absolute opposite effect. All of my friends getting forced into tests that didn’t matter and getting suspended for getting beaten up made most of us realize that the school/govt had no clue what they were doing
Money I think is needed. It’s just an easy way to simplify transactions from person to person. If I need to pick up something I don’t have to carry around 3 chickens and a dozen eggs to barter for groceries, I just carry cash.
“Investing” however, is unneeded. There should be no real reason for people to purchase parts of someones business publicly and extract value from it. The companies don’t need the profit from rising stocks, they already have their profits. So all these snakes that buy shares and force companies to rip their guts and morals apart chasing “number go up” does nothing but enshittify products and companies until they’re too unstable to use.
If you want to keep loans, that’s fine, but then it needs to be private, and locally lended. Your lenders can’t provide more money than the local economy can provide and it only goes back into the community that made it. None of these faceless companies extracting billions from a community to some far off corporation.
There’s also a vocal minority of just really pessimistic people on here. Politics I don’t mind as long as it’s a discourse about not only what is bad but what can be reasonably done about it.
I’ve been in several discussions where I add “look at community, we are strong together” and it’s immediately beaten down with “the world won’t change things are shit and always will be, be mad and angry about it, I’m mad and angry at you”.
It’s the internet, I’m not surprised. But I’ve definitely had to disconnect myself for a bit some days after severe reactions from people just to remember it’s just strangers on the internet.
It’s not all the time, but for some discussions that promote inclusion and understanding to be met with the hard “I don’t agree so you are human garbage” can be an awful whiplash sometimes.
