[GMW #3269] Construction Is Not Destruction


[GMW #3269] Construction Is Not Destruction Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3669 ~
Seeing the big advertisements of construction firms using innumerable bulldozers to dig up the Earth and build more road extensions or new roads I would request as a congressman that they should no longer be allowed to use the word construction, but would use the word Earth-moving instead. Destruction would even be more appropriate, but human culture has not yet come to that stage.

I was trying to visualize what would be next: these companies will have to seek endlessly new sites for new roads and 'buildings' to use their expensive machines and the producers of the machinery will need to produce constantly more of them in line with the theory of economic growth. The result will be more roads which will attract more automobile traffic, more building developments requiring more access roads and it will never end. For how many hundreds of years can this continue? What will be the end results of the theory of permanent economic growth and world-wide free enterprise? What is the role of government in all this?

This is a planet on which people complain that our arable land is limited, but let huge areas of the best land be used to produce poisons such as tobacco and alcohol.

This is even a planet where the same governments give huge subsidies to the producers of these poisons and pay for the hospital costs of their victims!
