It is a good world

Working at home to generate your own income with your own hands, mind or a combination of both must become the new society.

The Coronavirus has shown us one thing only, this society does not work! You labor five or six, some of us seven, days a week making a profit on your labor. Yes, you are the one producing the added value. But in the end the value you add goes to some man or woman already rich and corrupted to the core.

Unwilling to share the added value, he or she urges the government to devise a system of artificial debt to keep the workforce docile and obedient. So the rich, represented in the so-called government, invent a taxation system that keeps you earning just a little less than enough to live on and pay the taxes. If you work harder, you will have to pay more taxes on the money you earn, the value you add!

In the end the rich will run away with the value you add to the product you produce, and you will not be able to pay off the so-called debt you are supposed to have towards a government you supposedly voted into place. It is an inverted pyramid scheme, and you fell for it.

Now we are all sick or in danger of getting sick, and the rich keep urging us to get back to work, to get back to paying taxes, to keep the system from collapsing. But the system was only devised to help a few rich families get more power and more money, with you working your ass off! It is called slavery, we are all wage slaves.

Start producing something you know you can produce, be it food, clothing, a machine or a book. And sell it to people who want it, you yourself. Take away the middleman, your boss, and keep the profit to yourself. (In an old sock, not on a bank account.)

And who is going to manage the country you live in?
Who manages the company you work for? A small group of directors and CEOs are getting paid, and paid very well to manage the company. Those people are in most cases selected on what they can do, on knowledge and experience. They have applied for a job, shown their credentials and were accepted as a member of the Board of Directors. The exception to the rule of course are the owners or founders of a company, who conducted the application interview!

There is no political affiliation, no need to be a member of the establishment (although it may help.) The questions in the application interview only concerned the education and the results achieved in former employments.

The Corona crisis leaves us, the people with a beautiful opportunity to change things. We can now decide to halt this faulty system, dump the present governments and appoint by popular vote one Director of World Management. I would dare to suggest Mr. Gutierrez, the present president of the UN, or Mr. Putin, the present president of Russia, Mr Barack Obama is another candidate.

His only role must be to look for and appoint a temporary World Management Board. The members should be approved by a worldwide popular vote, a plebiscite that has to be repeated every year for three years.

The maximum term for each Director would have to be three years, and he or she can be fired by popular vote at any time! Short terms and the popular vote decisions every year will avoid clans or small groups taking power, it will avoid politics!

Will a board of managers solve all problems?

No, it will most definitely not! In fact, the first board will do little more than try to convince other countries to adopt the new system.

But the only way, in my view, to build an honest society where the people who add value to the society, also profit from the value they add, is a non-political system that only serves to manage affairs and leave as much as possible to the people themselves.

Food is produced mainly by poor farmer in countries that are called underdeveloped. But it is sold to large companies like Nestle, in the Western part of our world. Companies like Nestle dare to claim they own even the water we need to drink every day. The company is the largest ‘food’ producing company on our world, only, it is not food. Chemical copies of natural products, sold to us as being real, are poisoning our children. And we are stupid enough to buy these powders that we are calling taste, the white dust we call milk, or worse still, baby food. Companies like Nestle must stop production right away, let them go broke!

Bayer, for example, is supposed to be making medicine, but the Bayer CEO has stated they will only make medicine for people who can afford to pay for them. Those companies too must go! Even the history of these large worldwide companies show they are not there to make something good, they are just there to make a large profit!

A profit not for the people who add value to what they sell, but to a group of largely hidden stockholders, to the rich. And here comes the clou. The rich do not want to help the world, our world, they just want to help themselves. If half the population of the world dies by some virus, they will just enslave more people with the debt they create through taxation, and will continue living off the profits you and I create, the value we add.

I have no problem raising the taxes, for the rich. I am very willing to pay for a group of managers to run our world for us, because I am not able, nor am I willing, to do that kind of thing. But please, let us, all of us decide to get rid of politics, to get rid of large conglomerates of companies who have more power than do governments. To get rid of people put into political positions they are unable to hold because they are just too stupid, like the president of the USA.

But it is our world, we have to make it work, they will not. We have to live here, on our world, together. Our World does not belong to a small group of people who have become extremely rich by milking others dry. Our world belongs to us, our children and our grandchildren.

We have a great opportunity, and people have died and still are dying to get us here. Politics has made a mess of this crisis, politics has murdered many of the victims of the Coronavirus. Big Pharma, Big Oil and Big Corporations have done all they could to maintain the system, and they cannot get it right We must take over and do it ourselves, take responsibility to leave a world behind for those children and grandchildren. A good world and a clean world, our world!
