“I feel a big relief that I’ve put my life in order,” Mr. Chouinard said. “For us, this was the ideal solution.”
A true example of what I personally believe in and actually started to study what to do right now, where to start from, and how to achieve it.
The grand ambition I envision is to offer a service or a product to businesses (and maybe individuals too?) for zero upfront cost.
They commit to a some form of deferred payments as they grow and make money themselves (hence it's not a burden on receiving parties, it's not a wealth suction machine, it's a fair win-win arrangement).
The deferred payments could be in the form of providing us with their own service or product for free, hence contributing to our own business sustainability.
Additionally, they provide their service or product for free to certain entities agreed upon upfront. The recipients could be organizations, startups, educational institutions, nonprofits, families, neighborhoods, cities, countries, political parties, incubators, ... etc.
Doing this more enough, hopefully we would have secured a flow of diverse resources (services and products) enough to fully support the establishment and the sustainable operation of a business, a person, or a group of people.
The crucial point I claim, is a zero exchange of any form of monetary "things". It should all be about the generation, the development, and the exchange of tangible value (services or products).
These are all very early thoughts in their infancy. I'm sure they have wide open holes and several missing pieces. They may completely change and/or evolve to something else. Yet, the foundation will always be the same, transparency, abundance, equal opportunities, liberty, prosperity, and joy.

I prefer calling it liberty instead of justice but we may say justice encompasses freedom and liberty.
In all cases .. We can do better!
