“The people living then will decide how to distribute those goods and services.”
If we’re bird-dogging here, consider this:
“Then” could well become “now” (or soon).
If our government loses control of interest rates (not certain but possible nearish term) and responds by printing money (a certain response), or deep recession or many other eventualities that could elicit the same response....”Then” would become “now” in such a situation.
Yes, you’re right of course. They may need to change some rules sooner than they want to think.
