Handling Stuff

This is my last blog post for 2016.
Although there may be so many things to talk about, I choose this…a very simple question.

“If you suddenly wake up and find out you own and have control of all of the wealth of the world, from money to all kinds of properties, what would be the first thing you would do with it?”

Would you buy something for yourself?
Would you buy something for someone else?
Would you divide it among all the people in the world and distribute it?
Would you spend all of it?
Would you save all of it?
Would you combine spending and saving for all of it? You can’t because the question is what would be the FIRST thing you would do with it. Combinations are not allowed because you can’t both spend and save it simultaneously.
Would you invest all of it? If this is your choice, where would you invest it if you already own all of the other properties in the world?

Is the simple question easy or difficult to answer?

If I gave you this question to answer until midnight before the start of 2017, do you think you would be able to come up with an answer that you would never regret?

So if you want more time to answer this, then close your browser and start thinking.

Or you could continue reading what I have posted below.

First and foremost, to be able to answer this appropriately, you should be educated. By educated I mean you have a grasp of the basics of economies, math, language, science, and all the other subjects in school until at least college. Why? Because wealth of this proportion can mean the life or death of all living things. Which is why, if you want to be this wealthy, you have to stay in school. For ignorance in any of these and laziness in researching and reading can be a loophole for anyone to be fooled into making misinformed decisions.

Secondly, this is only hypothetical. There will never be a time where and when only one person would have the whole world’s wealth. with the diversity in people’s thinking, this is never going to happen.

Lastly, your answer to this question would help you understand that whatever you have right now is a choice, and if you want something better, you just have to prove that you deserve it and work your ass off trying to get it, until you do.

Here is my answer to this question.

I would hold a meeting of all the leaders of the world and tell them to provide me all the information needed to make sure that the proper investments are made in each of their countries and industries to enable the majority of their citizens to live decent lives with constant food on their tables. We would discuss what their insights are and solutions they suggest, what statistical data are needed to be maintained or improved, and the methods on how to effectively monitor all our planned and existing strategies so they would come to fruition and retain its continuity/sustainability.

How easy is this? It’s not.

Here’s an example.

Let’s pretend that the population of country A is 1 billion. Out of that 1 billion, there are 300 million normal adults, 300 million normal children (minors), 300 million retired senior citizens, 100 million physically and/or mentally challenged adults and children.

Country A has to have jobs for the 300 million normal adults so they can buy necessities for themselves, and the 300 million children they have, including the 300 million retired senior citizens, 100 million physically and/or mentally challenged adults and children.

what are the necessities that they need to buy in the form of goods and services?
- Food
- Clothing
- Shelter (own home, rental, or some other type of home)
- Education
- Recreation
- Health maintenance stuff
- Transportation (owned or fare fees)
- Communication
- Energy
- savings for rainy days

How much does each adult need to earn monthly just to make sure they have their necessities? Let’s pretend each necessity costs a buck. so for 10 necessities, each person needs 10 bucks a day. So for a month, that would be…

10 bucks x 30 days = 300 bucks
x 12 months
= 3,600 bucks a year/each person

So for 1 billion people x 3,600 bucks a year each, that would be 3,600,000,000,000 or 3.6 trillion budget a year for only one Country A. How many countries do we have?

Now, we also have to provide a budget for schools that would fit 300 million normal children. Then provide a budget for special schools and caring centers for 100 million physically and/or mentally challenged adults and children. How many buildings do we need for these? How many kinds of infrastructure do we need to make sure they get to and from school and their homes safely and on time everyday? We need roads, bridges, various kinds of vehicles, various kinds of fuel, various kinds of workers, various kinds of buildings, various kinds of sources of energy, various kinds of communication methods and devices, various kinds of clothing to group one school’s population from another, various food providers while they are in school or caring centers. Various kinds of research and development to continually improve the educational and caring systems. All of these cost money. The people who are going to pay for these are the 300 million working adults. That is assuming they are all working.

If the 300 million adults are all working, then the 3.6 trillion budget should be divided amongst them. That would mean 12,000 bucks would be given to each working adult each year. Remember, this is just an example.

What if only 200 million adults are employable. That means they have the skills and education to be given a job. So you have 100 million adults without work. Which means there would only be 200 million adults given the responsibility to buy necessities for themselves, and the 300 million children they have, including the 300 million retired senior citizens, 100 million physically and/or mentally challenged adults and children AND an additional 100 million adults without work.

What happens to the 3.6 trillion a year for only one Country A? It stays as 3.6 trillion a year for the expenses budget. But there is a problem. There’s a shortage of 1.2 trillion spending power for country A. because 100 million adults do not have work.

To make it simpler, let’s write it this way…

INCOME:
100 million working adults = 1.2 trillion bucks a year
200 million working adults = 2.4 trillion bucks a year
300 million working adults = 3.6 trillion bucks a year

If their income is divided into the number of people depending on them for their necessities it would be this.

DIVIDED INTO PAYMENT FOR NECESSITIES:
100 million working adults = 1.2 trillion bucks a year
means only 1,200 bucks a year/person
versus the needed 3,600 bucks a year/person

200 million working adults = 2.4 trillion bucks a year
means only 2,400 bucks a year/person
versus the needed 3,600 bucks a year/person

When not all 300 million adults have work, that means the 1 billion people population of Country A would not be able to pay for all 10 (ten) necessities. This means any of the following: poverty, malnutrition, out-of-school youths, and so many more types of deprivation of necessities.

There’s one more thing you have to know. Hypothetically, if the time comes when we have spent all the money in the world and it has run out, then we would return to eating what is around us. We shall return to slaying all the animals around us or eating the plants around us because we don’t have money anymore to reproduce them. If they are not reproduced regularly, we would have a food shortage. I don’t think a billion people would have enough animals and plants in their country to last for a year without assisted reproduction.

If you were the one handling all this wealth for budgeting to the different countries, how can you make sure that the money is refilled on a yearly basis and never runs out? Because if you just distributed this money to everyone without using it to create more wealth, then it would disappear in just a year. But if you ask more people to create more businesses, develop more and newer things to put on sale to anyone else who can afford it, then you have created more wealth.

Wealth that could refill the income needs of at least Country A on a yearly basis. Now, what else is there to do? The same kind of mentality should be done with the other countries. Develop more ways to create wealth in their countries according to what works with them. Which is why you need to communicate with them and find out what they need and what works for them.

So, tell me. If you didn’t stay in school long enough to learn how everyone and everything in the world is literally dependent and interconnected with each other, do you think you have what it takes to solve the world’s problems? or should you just give suggestions to those who have what it takes to do the planning, implementing and monitoring of solving the world’s problems?

Most of us only have a miniscule view of what really happens in the world. Usually, it is a view of small and/or local economies that is enough to help us manage and maintain our own businesses for our own necessities and even luxuries. solving world’s problems shouldn’t be our concern anymore so we can stay on the path we have decided to have early in life. Keeping things simple, uncomplicated.

However, it doesn’t exclude us from the capability to provide suggestions on how things should be done. But when someone or a group of people who sees the big picture and knows how to cascade it to the smaller pictures comes along, don’t stand in their way. For the more you stand in their way or bring them down, the more you are depriving them of the power to give you and many others better lives.

Stay in school, learn some more. If you’re in business, read more books, attend more learning activities, keep yourself in the know. If you’re at home, take time to read or watch informational stuff.

In a few days we are going to start a new year. How would you want it to start? As an obstacle or help a clear path?
