In 2016, the ECB starts a new system of money creation that uses negative interest to control circulation rather than destabilizing the system with positive interest on created money. Consumer prices start to fall, but most importantly the welfare systems are relieved from fighting primarily against the windmills of interest induced wealth redistribution to the top 10% most wealthy part of the population - and can be sized down to manageable dimensions without loosing all of the 20th centuries social system improvents (which was feared by many around 2005).   posted by luz , on 10 AUG 2004 22:40:20 (UTC+01)   rate this: 52.54% (total 31) / 47.46% (total 28), post/view comments:   2016 | Non-republican, non-democrat elected to President     Sick and tired of big government and platforms that are exactly the same the US people get a clue and elect a President from a party that believes that government is not a for-profit business and is there to serve the people rather than rule the people.   posted by Bill Gray , on 20 AUG 2004 16:01:53 (UTC+01)   rate this: 53.70% (total 29) / 46.30% (total 25), post/view comments:   2016 | One Global Currency takes over     due to currency exchange failures over the past few years the goverments of European Union, USA, Canada and Australia decide to create One Global Currency. soon more countries follow by adopting One Global Currency.   posted by pheloxi , on 21 AUG 2004 21:30:52 (UTC+01)   rate this: 51.02% (total 25) / 48.98% (total 24), post/view comments:   2016 | groceries automatically to your door     Your refrigerator will automatically know that certain products are almost empty/depleted and will automatically notify a local grocer to deliver the product the moment it is gone.   posted by Jimmy-Mack , on 19 AUG 2004 22:26:46 (UTC+01)   rate this: 52.08% (total 25) / 47.92% (total 23), post/view comments:   2016 | Return of the Trail of Tears     Andrew Jackson will rise from the dead only to continue killing indians.   posted by sam , on 17 AUG 2004 16:22:59 (UTC+01)   rate this: 51.28% (total 20) / 48.72% (total 19), post/view comments:   2016 | Democracy by Lottery     In order to become genuinely democratic and avoid the influence of special interest groups and money the US brings in the lottery for elections. The President is chosen by lottery thus ensuring a less corrupt President. This is, of course, what they used to do in Athens, it just took a while to remember how to be democratic.   posted by Geoffrey R. , on 01 SEP 2004 17:52:59 (UTC+01)   rate this: 83.33% (total 5) / 16.67% (total 1), post/view comments:   2016 | Computer Chess     A chess program running on a $2000 computer (in 2004 adjusted dollars) will beat the human world chess champion.   posted by Keith , on 01 SEP 2004 20:44:39 (UTC+01)   rate this: 66.67% (total 4) / 33.33% (total 2), post/view comments:
