### - ok, here's an idea for solving the global financial situation AND
crime at the same time + many other things too considering the potential knock-on/ripple-effects applying such a solution would likely create...
and it's simple really...
just give everyone over the age of 18 £1000 a week! :)
and then let's watch the crimes figures literally drop like a stone!
i mean, anyone caught shoplifting after that obviously has something
wrong with them haha, some kinda mental/emotional problem etc that
obviously needs attention not punishment...
plus, with such a reasonable income, no one will ever need to steal
someone's phone and/or whatever ever again either, they can more simply
& safely buy their own! things like burglary would likely die-out too
because no one would really need to do it, instead of of a life of petty crime just trying to get by they can instead have a life, a young couple
on 2000 per week by default between them can afford a mortgage, kids of
18 could 'afford' to go to college and not end up starting-out in life
with a 30+ grand debt (certain incentives could also be included there,
such as them paying for their own education up front and then receiving
a full refund of all their fees upon graduation? (an incentive to study
hard enough to graduate) thus them then starting out in life with 30+
grand in savings instead of debt! a flying start!
the knock-on sociological effects would also likely be tremendous too;
vast sums of 'cash' would be in circulation instead of huge sums of
credit & debt, people could afford to buy nice things so manufacturing
would have to soar to meets those hugely increased demands, getting
people to work who don't need to work at all would require the according wage-incentive, thus part time jobs would flourish that would be very
well paid, work only 20 hours per week and you could add maybe another 3
or 400 to your income would be worth doing for maybe enough people to be in-work to cover public services and/or whatever, a cap on upper
earnings making sure no one can get too greedy (big business can earn it
by the bucket load and collect the kudos for doing so as being captains
of industy, but only for the industry awards and stuff, and have to give anything over the cap to charity and/or to a central fund that goes back
into covering all those 1000 per week grants to everyone etc for
example...)
that once it all started rolling and picking up steam, even organised
crime would likely diminish too as it would be hard to find criminally inclined workers who don't really need the money + who have no real
incentive to get more by becoming involved with crime, police resources
being freed-up from all that more usual petty crime from the previously poorer section, being able to focus more on such things at less cost, children too would be more likely to be raised in a sane + balanced
household by parents who can much more easily afford to have them and
enjoy them instead of being stressed by the situation...
the list goes on & on?
the whole thing's a potential snowball :)
we have to start somewhere don't we, so why not at the bottom for a
change eh? ;)
i.e., give everyone over the age of 18 £1000 per week for doing nothing,
for just being alive, and equipped now to go out and live a life which
they can also easily add to if they are so inclined, no pressure...
people don't really like or wanna be idle, they'll find things to do,
from simple things like raising a family, to working in shops part time
or whatever because they like doing it, to more complex things like
being a doctor or a designer, their renumeration being more in kudos
from their peers and from industry rather than being merely financial
and security-based...
i think it would work, and would likely turn our civilisation around
almost overnight by sociological standards, happier people would raise happier children and so there would prolly be less stress-related mental
& emotional illness as well, we might even all end up happy & sane :)
oh, and did i mention the necessity to forgive all prior debt in order
to start fresh? (smile)
might be a bit of a pickle then for a generation or 2 huh while all that
gets sorted out & appropriately compensated, but after that the sky's
the limit :)
now which brave country/society out there is gonna go first eh?
it needs vision & big balls for sure! but whomever it is they will be
forever remembered as being the first brave soul to take the plunge that actually created a better world for themselves & everyone else too...
not bad hehe :)
