No more poverty

How long would it take to totally abolish global poverty? It could take one week, but as there are practical differences it might take a full month.

The method is to give every living individual a bank account with one million dollars.

This would invert the economical model used so far from being based on poverty to one being based on need.

If we all were millionaires we could buy what we really need - be it food, housing, education or whatever. The factual economy would increase as never before.

If we all were millionaires the magic of money would be lost. Money would be like air, necessary but always available. Nothing to fight for.

Economical migration could stop or be more like tourism. Tensions between nations and social groups would soften.

The tedious struggle for survival for the day would change into a meaningful search for the nice and lovely. Billions of individuals would be free.

For some groups there is already excess of money. Some of it is spent on luxury as nice hospital care for the heart attacks, nervous break downs and problems with addiction. But most of those very rich drive a small car and eat hamburger.

So what are we waiting for?

Against

As long as there is rules, there is the charm of speculating against the rules. It is irresistible.
It is not just a bad idea. It is a deep urge to test if the rules are justified.
But some rules are justified.
To live within justified rules must not be bad or boring. It could be like painting new and perfect paintings. It is within the rules, it is new and very good.
OK, we know this when it comes to painting.
But what about money, public truth and violence? Why should these sectors be free from justified rules?
Money is the most important measurement in this world. It is more important than others measures, like the meter, the litre, the second.
When it comes to meter, litre or second we are extremely specific. The length of a meter is decided down to the smallest decimal. Very good.
But the value of money fluctuates, minute for minute. The relative value between currencies change, and inflation change the value within the currencies.
This should not be tolerated, as it is not necessary.
Public truths should be true, and let us all hope it will be so. May the times of stories about "weapons of mass destruction" be over.
When it comes to private use of violence, there are many rules in most countries. Of course, no one cares very much. Abuse, mainly of women, continues day and night all over the world.
The public use of violence is often seen as more justified. But is it? Should not every dictator be tried for every instant of violence as any other suspect?
If the political violence is justified, the leaders have nothing to fear.
But politics is always debated. There seems to be no general truth. But there is such a truth. It is on mind level.
