Waking Up in a Steady State Economy
by Rob Dietz
You wake up refreshed, the way you’re supposed to feel in the morning after a restful sleep. With plenty of time before the day’s activities unfold, you begin the morning with a light exercise routine, stretching and moving your body to get the blood flowing. After a quick shower (with water pleasantly heated by your rooftop solar water heater), you head to the kitchen. You whip up a simple breakfast using tasty and fresh ingredients from the weekly delivery of food from the local farm. You make a mental note to mention to the farmer how much you enjoy her organically grown strawberries the next time you see her.
Besides enjoying your meal, you use your leisurely breakfast time to scroll through the day’s headlines:
- Prison begins makeover into community college as former guards tackle the task of redevelopment
- Fans anticipate tonight’s season opener of the Cross-town Football League
- Work time reduction paying dividends: unemployment falls for 3rd straight quarter
- WTO’s 6 remaining members won’t disclose secret meeting location
- Land of a thousand currencies: museum exhibit puts the artistry of local currencies on full display
