I have met someone who is doing, I think, the best possible thing a kid who had a trust fund placed in their lap could do (or any rich person really).
Not just giving all their money away to poor people...to promptly go right into the pockets of the slumlords whose greedy sucking them dry is the reason they can’t escape poverty in the first place!
But buying land and giving people *housing* and *food* and *water* without charging them! :’D
This surely is how to really help people! It’s not money (or rather the lack thereof) that’s really the problem, it’s greed. (And money is just the arbitrary instrument greed favors in this period in history)
So if we want to fix the system, we don’t need to just give poor people money, we need to stop feeding and supporting the greed that makes them poor in the first place! And instead starve the greed it so it will wither and compassion can flourish in its place. :’)
I’m going to go there soon! :DDD I really hope this works!!! And that I as an engineer can help make everything there be wonderful and safe and abundant 8>
