Reinvent Jobs

The speed at which we are going, is making more and more jobs obsolete. It's happening faster right now then it ever has. Even during the first industrial revolution things did not go nearly as fast. Maybe when electricity became widespread, but outside of that the path we are on now is like none before.
I propose we start organizing new jobs for everyone. Job sharing, outsourcing, and community kind of jobs will all need to be rethought. We need the happiness meter to move up, we need things to do that matter. Like organizing and sharing resources in you local neighbour hood, you could have the gardeners, the composters, tool bins for sharing, water resources, snow removal and well pretty must all these tasks need to be professions soon so we can survive. Growing food by the neighbour hood will cut way back on the logistics now being used to move goods. 3-D printing is going to take a whole bunch more as well, so new kind of jobs will be needed, as well as a good government sponsored barter system to make the transition easy and fair.
I really think some kind of capitalistic and social governing system needs to be put in place. One with out the other has shown to only create conflict and favouritism. Combined and enforced with everyones input. We have the means now, do we have the will? No amount of greed will stop this, I think this change is barreling toward us now and if we are lucky, we may even be partly ready for the change when it slams into us.
Used to be you tried to think globally, now more then ever we need to think locally. Reach out and say hi to your neighbour, I think soon we will have to be closer to each other, more helping and less aggressive. There are 7 billion out there, and we need to get along.
