Some thoughts (maybe more/answers later): 1. Is it "progress" to increase ease of life but decrease meaning of life? 2. Is there a way to increase both ease and meaning? 3. Why do we have money? 4. Reverting to a trading system (one more basic than the monetary system) would make life harder. 5. Or, forcing the government to provide us with our necessary goods is strikingly similar to socialism/communism, ideas that have been shown to fail under real-world implementation. 6a. Is community service based solely on consumption? How is the consumption of a corporation/company/business discerned from the consumption of the individual? 6b. In general, how is consumption measured? 7. Also, do people in "more meaningful" jobs (such as doctor, teacher, etc.) get breaks on community service? If so, how is a job defined as meaningful? 8. Using criminals to provide all the community service a country needs seems a bit impractical/impossible

1. by increasing the ease in life we are elimintating the physical hardships. this will leave us more time to actually enjoy living life, granted if you are not a lazy person, but with my plan lazy people will no exsist because everyone will love living life. Also, although there is no unwanted physical hardship, there is always emotion and feeling. the meaning of life is not rated by how much physical labor you do but how much feeling and emotion you have

6a. The idea of corporations and the elimination of the small business is due to globalization. if we brought it all back locally, there would be no need for corporations. if corporations still do exsist, which i'm sure they always will, than i believe the workers should be free lance. elminate salaries and hourly rates, pay people based on how much work they are doing. this all goes back to elminating standards
