The day war ends

is the day when everyone is more worried about natural disasters and are too busy trying to survive.

My Wildest Dreams

My wildest dream is the day when I can hear Oprah Winfrey announce that everyone in the world will get $50 a month. Wow, that will be great.

Cheaper taxi fares?

Will cheaper taxi fares encourage more people to take taxis rather than owning a car? With more people taking taxis and less people buying cars, car park spaces can be used for other purposes. So how to introduce cheaper taxi fares. The various components of cost in deriving taxi fares need to be examined to determine how taxi fares can be lowered. With more people taking taxis, more jobs can be created in the taxi industry. With less people owning cars, this will also lead to less congestion on the roads.

How to put more money into the people's pocket?

Industrialisation and Technology has changed the equation of supply and demand. Goods today can be produced many times the speed with which they were produced in the past. In addition goods can be produced many times the quantity that can be produced in the past. Yet, we still hear of starvation in many parts of the world, but there is no shortage of food but rather a shortage of money in the hands of these starving people. Is there a shortage of money in the world system? To solve the problem of starvation is to put money into the pockets of these starving people. Eventualy these money given to needy people will end up in the hands of the food industry. For people without a roof over their head, money given to these people will eventually end up in the hands of the building industry. So putting money into the hands of needy people will lead to the growth of the food and building industry.
