Just like climate change , this is an area where we have built an industry around the problem rather than a cure.
The results of Aid given to non rich countries shows that this kind of aids has little or no impact in tackling the growing inequality gap or poverty for that matter.
With the coming loss of thousands of jobs to AI,
Now is the time to introduce a Basic Living
Wage.
Direct Aid ensure dignity.
It acts as a stimulant to weak economy and encourage imagination.
Now we all know the arguments against a Basic Wage. Inflation! Just think what Donal Trump tariffs are doing.
It’s time to get rid of social welfare and equip people with the means to look after themselves.
To manage their own medical /educational and daily needs.
We try all other routes so on the pre-text that the establishment of a BASIC WAGE has been try with small groups and found to have positive results why not explore it.
We can say poverty in all the languages under the sun and have done so since time memorial till AID foundation are blue in the face.
There is nothing to be lost to let people find their own footing within society,
Affect centuries of giving Aid that had not turned into happiness but into corruption.
This is not Wealth distribution. This is equipping individuals with the means to improve their lives.
Let’s be creative.
Happiest comes from self respect and self respect is obtained through pride.
There is often quite appalling disparity in social conditions and a hostility born of fear between against the privileged and the deprived, the exploiters and the exploited.
The privilege always use any surpluses to either improve or protect their position.
We can only try to reverse that position with taxes., or with what is called the triangle down capitalism, which we knew has not worked and will never work.
I know that there have been places where a basic wage has been tried, with some considerable success.
Let’s give back some pride.
All human comments appreciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
