Not enough money

> When it comes to clean energy investment share by country, China takes the lead. The largest emitter got almost half of the global total investment in low-carbon energy transition, bagging $546 billion.

>The U.S. took the second slot with $141 billion while Germany secured the 3rd place, again. France took over the UK’s previous 4th slot as the latter fell down to 5th place.

1960s manufacturing no longer exists in the US because we buy all our shit from China and print dollars backed with force and financialization of the economy. Your version of the future only works with portable matter replicators they are so cost effective making a physical copy of anything including more replicators is as effectively free as making a digital copy. As long as production has to be centralized because of supply chain complexity and economies of scales, we’re still going to have factories and factory owners. Relying on your local factory owner for all of your goods and services is a lot less utopia and more feudalism.

On the other hand this sounds like a great situation for the majority, unemployable and relying on charity to survive, to use decentralized communications to organize a violent takeover of less well defended everything factories and use the supplies to attack and capture as many factories and factories owners as possible to then decentralizedly redistribute their seemingly infinite resource- wait this is just seizing the means of production and you’re advocating for communism!
