JCT: For 20 years, I have worked at correcting the present system
by reprogramming the malfunctioning banking system to operate without
interest, therefore with the LETS software.
While we fight to fix the global system, we can still build our
own little systems which do not malfunction.
So there's no problem with both starting up your own lifeboat
while working to correct the malfunctioning main ship. They are not
mutually exclusive options. They are complementary. Using LETS on the
local level demonstrates how the national and international levels
could function perfectly too.
