Decentralization

There is not only correlation, but causation, between resource use and hours worked. If we are to live sustainably, it's only natural that everyone work less, therefore consume less. I believe in a sustainable living wage free for everyone..and a slowing down of production of goods, especially foods, which we waste a lot of. If we're thinking about it in the long run for an actual sustainable society, meaning saving resources for future generations, it only makes sense to curb production and consumption. For this to happen, we not only need to see the breaking of the big banks like Sanders is fighting for, but also the breaking up of mainstream media, which nearly all publications are owned by 6 major corporations. And inevitably we'll need to see the reconstruction of the corporation whose only goal is to maximize shareholder profit. The main problem is centralization and monopolization, from food and water, to cable, even to government and as we notice the widening inequality, even wealth and income. I can't see this changing by working within the existing system, as the laws themselves are already set to favor heavy opposition to these goals. It will take a revolution, which I predict will happen in the next 50 years. What are your thoughts on the subject?
