youre identifying the right disease
entrenched rent seeking
but prescribing the one treatment that kills the patient.
“people costing money” is too broad. every functioning system has costs. the real question is whether those costs produce value or merely extract it.
civil war would not eliminate the rent seekers. it would destroy infrastructure, supply chains, capital, trust, and productive workers
then transfer power to whoever controls the weapons and emergency institutions. with energy markets already running without buffers, that would make the shortage dramatically worse.
my proposal is not a complete cure. it is one high leverage, nonviolent change:
👉stop penalizing work and production while rewarding the passive control of scarce land.👈
the change is in the incentive structure.
