The following quotes should explain how this thread came about:
In order to replace the current 'system' with a better one, enough people must be in a/the position of not accepting that they have no escape from the current 'system'. The only way this is going to happen, it seems, is for enough people to understand the true nature of the current 'system' - which is based on deception. In other words, we are all being "held captive" by the current 'system' only because the majority of people do not understand that the only thing keeping us captive is our belief that it is true.
The truth is - the only thing keeping us captive is our [collective] belief that there is no escape. But, there is! And, it is very simple. Only, for it to be utilized - everyone must understand it. Why?
Because one stick is more easliy broken than a bundle of 1000 sticks.
Because one rod is more easily bent than a bundle of 1000 rods.
And, because - people are not willing to "bundle" (i.e. - stand together) unless they are convinced that everyone is truly together "on the same page" and standing strong together to make a difference together.
If one person stands up to the 'system', they are quickly and easily threatened into silence, pushed aside, or disposed of.
However, if everyone stands up to the 'system' together, a totally different outcome may be expected.

I can tell you how to accomplish all of this (excepting the ones marked with '*' as "no guarantee" items) - and more - with all of the following true:
~ NO socialism, communism, dictatorships, or forfeit of sovereignty for anyone on earth
~ No person on earth homeless
~ No person on earth starving
~ No person on earth prevented from accessing any avenue for health (albeit, natural remedies would clearly be the prevalent choice)
~ Every person on earth given same choices and opportunities
~ No credit cards - would not need them
~ No banks - would not need them
~ No taxes - would not need them
+ other things that I could probably add to this list if I sat here and thought about it long enough...
And, I am talking about a true legitimate valid moral 'answer' for the correction of virtually-if-not-all modern systemic error.
I came up with the idea myself. I have never seen it mentioned or discussed. (Except when I have initiated a conversation on the topic.)
I have many times thought about starting a thread to explain the concept - and, to see what other people's ideas might be.
Of course, while it is certainly possible, it will not happen. (At least, not until Christ returns - because, it is currently Satan's world.)
However, it could happen - almost overnight - if we humans decided we wanted it badly enough.
It is really sad that we don't...

Are you saying you have a way to get rid of homelessness? Because from what I've seen and some of the homeless people I've spoken to, many prefer that lifestyle. You should start a thread about your idea. I think many would be curious to hear about your answer to this issue.
From what I have read, seen, and heard - homeless people that prefer to be homeless do so because they would rather not deal with some/many/all of the things that average normal people have to deal with - which makes life a lot more "complicated" than just simply being homeless.
My idea involves a complete paradigm shift - away from what we have been "trained" to think is 'normal' in our current 'reality' to something much like what I believe Jesus is going to establish when He comes back.

Start the thread, I'd be interested and participating if I have any thoughts of my own
I'll see if I can find a time when 'have enough time' coincides with 'have enough energy' (haha) - 'busy' and 'tired' seem to be going hand-in-hand as of late...
I may have to write it in parts.
The nature of the 'system' that I believe Jesus will establish would be the first part - and take the least time to write.
Just exactly how this would translate into the current 'reality' - well, there is a lot more to it - and, it would take a lot more time.

PART 1
(The short version.)
The 'system' that I believe Jesus will establish will be based on 'love' and not 'greed'. There will be no 'technology'; it will have been utterly destroyed; everything will be "set back" at least two or three centuries, if not one or two millennia. Everyone will work with their hands. There will be no money - not in a physical form nor in an abstract form. Bartering will not even exist. Payment for work will exist in a 'privilege-for-effort' form - whereby, the only requirement is that you 'contribute'. As long as you contribute, you have the privilege to obtain whatever you need and want.
The only "regulation" on this would be from things like "how you treat your neighbor", etc. - i.e. - "if you behave yourself, and make a sufficient worthwhile contribution to society, you can have anything you want" (not quite this literally, perhaps, but this is the 'base' idea) - and - the nature of the work.
The more "nasty" or "dangerous" the work you do, the higher 'rank' of privilege you hold.
Using today's system to illustrate - someone who emptied bedpans all day "for a living" would have a higher 'rank' of privilege than a politican or someone who spent their day in a clean office environment.
This is an almost complete 'flip' of what we have today. (because the system we have today is based on 'greed' and not 'love')
The system we have today is 'greed' driven, and says:
I want to do the least and get paid the most - and let those who are "less fortunate" in "playing the game" do all of the dirty work.
A system that is 'love' driven says:
Anyone who has a 'worse' job than mine should rightfully have a certain amount of 'privilege' - that I am more-than-happy for them to have - because, I am grateful that I am not doing that job.
People who were willing to do the 'worse' jobs would be respected for their willingness and given a higher 'rank' of privilege.
The 'rank' of privilege would then come into play when necessary to decide/determine priority in certain conflict situations where "things" are concerned. As an example - we have 47 'widgets' currently available and 53 people who want one. (Six people would have to wait until tomorrow or next week to get their 'widget'.)
This is a system where - everything is "payed for" by 'effort' - and, once something is "payed for" - "it is payed for" - no one has to "pay for it" again.
Once something is produced (i.e. - a man builds a piece of furniture, such as a chair) - it can only be 'given' to someone - and then someone else - and then someone else - etc. It may never be 'sold' - it must always be 'given'.
The central idea and main concept of this 'system' is:
Nothing will be 'bought' or 'sold' - all things will be 'given'.
To understand this 'system' properly, you must learn how to separate yourself from what you have been used to all of your life.
Everything we know and do is predicated on a lie. Satan has twisted things up so severly that it is difficult for people to think about this kind of thing in any other way than what we are all used to.
So, if you find yourself thinking "This will not work.", then your thinking is still too deep into the current paradigm.
And, for "a more perfect understanding", you need to understand the base difference between 'effort' and 'work'.
Can you see how all of this is the exact opposite of what Satan wants?
This 'system' represents "what really should be" - and, I believe it is [at least] "somewhere close" to what Jesus will establish after He returns.
~
How this system - which would be a complete-and-total "paradigm shift" - would translate into the current 'reality' is what PART 2 is about.
