Quora: At some point, ask:
If we became a socially sustainable society, what industries and job positions would no longer exist? Here’s some I thought of, help me think of more: (I’m not including environmentally sustainable, that’s a different one)
-real estate
-private prisons
-disability court & means testing
-private health insurance
-many current non-profits would close and new ones would reopen (ex. The charity shuts down because the problem is solved)
-debt collection agencies
Jobs that have lost it’s purpose:
HR
Pharmacy Benefit Managers
Jobs that would significantly reduce if society was sustainable:
Clergy
Social Media Influencers
Anything to do with cars. Car sales, car manufacturing, etc.
The idea is that with these jobs gone, people would be redirected to sustainable development work, develop their own projects, or simply not work and be with family or heal.
-For this goal, I think simply implementing the concept of systems thinking itself would go a really long way, especially when it comes to infrastructure.
Copy, paste to each goal, and fill out. Make a new one for each country:

ALL GOALS:
9.1
Develop quality, reliable, sustainable and resilient infrastructure, including regional and transborder infrastructure, to support economic development and human well-being, with a focus on affordable and equitable access for all
9.2
Promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and, by 2030, significantly raise industry’s share of employment and gross domestic product, in line with national circumstances, and double its share in least developed countries
Sustainable industrialization:
-identify key aspects of industrial complexes and eradicate it

Feels incomplete. I’m also curious what makes an industrial complex different than a feedback loop.
Information Resource:
Information Resource:
9.3
Increase the access of small-scale industrial and other enterprises, in particular in developing countries, to financial services, including affordable credit, and their integration into value chains and markets
9.4
By 2030, upgrade infrastructure and retrofit industries to make them sustainable, with increased resource-use efficiency and greater adoption of clean and environmentally sound technologies and industrial processes, with all countries taking action in accordance with their respective capabilities
9.5
Enhance scientific research, upgrade the technological capabilities of industrial sectors in all countries, in particular developing countries, including, by 2030, encouraging innovation and substantially increasing the number of research and development workers per 1 million people and public and private research and development spending
Academic collaborations can be improved by the conversation: do you want me to give you ideas or follow directions?
9.a
Facilitate sustainable and resilient infrastructure development in developing countries through enhanced financial, technological and technical support to African countries, least developed countries, landlocked developing countries and small island developing States
9.b
Support domestic technology development, research and innovation in developing countries, including by ensuring a conducive policy environment for, inter alia, industrial diversification and value addition to commodities
9.c
Significantly increase access to information and communications technology and strive to provide universal and affordable access to the Internet in least developed countries by 2020
Internet in rural areas
