RE: Finland Abandons Universal Basic Income Experiment After Two Years
Equality is a funny thing. I believe that as humans, we have the equal right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Since we are not equal in our abilities, we will not be equal in our outcomes and results. So there will be times that some of us will achieve more than the rest of us, but we all should have the freedom to pursue those lofty goals. And if we desire more, then we must be prepared to have to work harder and smarter than those around us to who desire the same.
We can not control what family we were born into, the social economic status of our family, or the country of our birth, but we can keep pressing forward.
I wish you all the best as you take your unique abilities and talents and pursue a better life.
I once heard there is enough trees and stone in the state of Pennsylvania or any other comparable size state to make a Mansion for every person in the world.
The problem is the distribution of resources. Once a resource is plentiful and easily available it costs almost nothing.
We live in a greed system and have been since the beginning of time.
We need to switch to a resource based economy and start helping every human on the planet!
I agree. We definitely need to be helping others. I feel very strongly about that too. Your point is spot on about greed!
We think about ourselves first and only. We are consumed with our well-being. And unfornately it seems that our past will be repeated again and again in the future.
