    • we need to shift over to controlled spending

    • this means we need to prioritize all spending possibilities

    • this means we need a tool for doing this

    • this means we need to know the limits

    • the limits for long-term sustainability

    • what does each generation get

    • it has to be the same across all time

    • what can our planet sustain long term

    • all these types of questions have real answers

    • we just need to frame & calculate them

    • they are just numbers

    • but many factors go into each calculation

    • some are very subjective

    • like how much waste is predicted

    • but again here

    • we can stick in a number

    • the exercise is more important

    • than the actual numbers selected

    • it will teach us all great lessons about life

    • perhaps the biggest being

    • that we all must prioritize

    • because we cannot have everything we want
