Value can be used in a purely monitory sense. How much you can earn. How much you have. I’m talking about general value to society. Not really money.
What am I talking about? I’m talking about the ability to fix broken things. As the standard becomes reversed climate change the world is oddly becoming more disposable. The ability to repair a broken object and return it to service will become a greater value. Not only the physical act of repair, but the repair mind set. Seeing patterns the cause and effects. As the electric carbon neutral revolution fails the return to present day will not be possible. Leading to an increase in value in maintaining obsolete machines. The battle cry will be “wait, I know a guy that can fix it.” Remember new cars are boring, fix something old.
A post script on my failed electric revolution comment. I will write about the fraud of climate change in my next post. Power grid. Our current power distribution system is barely able to serve the needs of our current demand. In Southern California we have black outs when the temperature is hot. Power is turned off when fire danger is high and has tripled in cost over the last few years. Generation with wind, and solar is unreliable and requires maintenance. Batteries are all poisonous. Most are explosive. No easy or scalable recycling technology exists. And we need to increase mining output for lithium, cobalt, mercury among other precious metals 1000 times for nonrenewable elements. Charging stations that specifically target poor people. It’s vote pandering. Pandering to a simple minded pseudo environmentalist.
