This will probably never be seen, but one of the best things I think we can do to lower the cost of living as well as help get people into paying jobs is localize the economy more.<p>Make it more efficient to buy food from the local farmer &#x2F; farmers market than having it shipped around the world to the nearest walmart.<p>Make it easier to do local and smaller scale manufacturing (think 3d printing).<p>When your economy is local, it&#x27;s efficient, green (remove the high cost of transportation out of the equation) and it feeds on itself with jobs and money.<p>I&#x27;m building something right now that I hope will be a step towards reaching some of those goals.
