"If orange trees grew all over the country,……" — Jacque Fresco

"If orange trees grew all over the country, you couldn't sell oranges. Â Do you understand that? Â So, all our decision making is based upon scarcity or the availability of resources. Â If we have a shortage of any kind of resource, we put all the labs to work on making substitute materials. Â People always worry about 'What if we run out of a certain material?', but we have enough technology today to make thousands of different substitutes."
