The Ridiculously Long 'Carried Away' Comment :
You know how a lot of people think America is the rich and China is the poor? Well these Americans are exactly the same as those Chinese's cheap labor!
These are not very different from Slaves, the way I see it.
And this video could have been shorter. It's keep making the same point over and over. And they're all problems and I may have picked up just one solution. Little disappointed with that.
The solution i picked up from the video is that they should promote labors. Sounds like a good move to me. Some people who stayed long enough and involved themselves more to the company get to be introduced with the higher pays and the opportunities.
But where can they even be promoted to if the country's out of the job in the first place or things are already too expensive?
Same question occured with one of three possible solutions I thought about from watching this video.
- I thought the companies just need to pay the labor more, the simplest solution. Get them at least enough money to sustain themselves and the education for the children, plus a proper health insurance to match up with the dangers of the work environment.
But who's going to pay them?
One solution to this extra problem is that the people who want to receive one day delivery have to pay extra delivery cost for the purchases so that the workes who makes this possible can continue doing their work with the proper human work environment.
Second solution to this extra problem is about the rich people sharing their money. Now, not every rich people doesn't run a big company that uses this semi-slavery labor. I don't know what to do with those. Ask for charity service? But some of the rich forlks are, I believe, made of CEO or the similar titles. And unless they're already humble type of folks who's spending everything they got to support their own family and for the good of the company and its workers, why would they need so much money if so many people are suffering under their order? I think they can sell a few of their pensions and sport cars and save those thing's management cost to increaes the salery of their workers.
Now, I'm not a fire to fight fire type of person. Say, I think the water on fire is better. So I don't believe protesting with force and anger will create the best result. And these rich folks are the ones with powerful connections and know how to make and manage money than most of the less wealthier people. So how about try a go with more humane way to talk to their better side of the humanity? Meet them where they're comfortable, talk to them that they would like to hear, and reason with them about what the hell is going on with the human right, just like how a normal human would talk to another normal human being. Make them want to help the poor people, especially if they're their workers. Make them want to use their connections. But if a thousand people go camp on his front yard trying to force things at him, he's gonna use those connections to push people off even further or seal those connections instead. I mean, I think those rich ass people's got feeling too. And if people's trying to barge into his front door, he or she's suppose to feel sorry about that and want to help those people if he have a choice? But if that rich guy has some kind of a Xenophobia and even remotely hate the guy who isn't rich like he is, then just walk away. Or, then you can barge through his front door, maybe. Still not the best suggestion. There's not a lot of games to win a guy like that and he's probably beyond saving himself. But keep find these powerful people and convince them to help the ones who's in need the right way. And maybe these rich folks are gonna shun those who didn't help the poor and pretty much force those bunch in Xenophobia to help people themsevels or just end up left with their own bunch of arseholes and let that be the torment of their own. I'd rather not see rich people spending money on war against each other when it could be used to pay the workers more. But if it does comes to that then I think it's the duty for the poor people to stand up for the right guy.
- Back to the original problem, the second solution of it that I thought about was fully automated mechanical labor. This is more of a science fiction stuff. But it is coming.
Beside a possible side effect of these things wanting their own rights of existence, I have a hope that they can make the products even cheaper for the people or even make everything free, if Human are well educated enough to spend just the ones that they need and not over do and waste existing resources. But that's a whole other problem. (Some kids just wanna party way too big, and that is a lot of waste of resources. But how can I convince a kid to stop it if the kid's just wanna expand their experience?)
But integrating works with that kind of automated system may cause a lot of fractions with a lot fo people. First of all, it'll eleminate qutie a lot of jobs even more. The only ones who need to work is the engineers and marketing planners, who I believe would get paid quite handsomly. Plus, installing those machines that are highly durable and functional will not be cheap.
I am hoping once they are integrated enough, every products will be cheaper and people with less job opportunities may be able to sustain at least their basic needs even with fewer hours of the labor.
Risks and benefits are pretty much in between 'the dream world' and 'the economical disaster' in this one.
- Third solution, population control.
This one is morally and probably country-wide economically not-outstanding. And it'll take quite a long time to see this happening even if it become the plan to do it, unless people would rather watch the population reducing its own number by slaughtering the less wanted population or let them starve to death. And that is very not fair.
But way I see it there's way too many people and way too few jobs in comparason. Unless more people are up to the task for creating new jobs themselves and make the numbers equally as possible, the value of each of our lives will have to be low as much as the condition of the economy that produces things for everyone.
- And that just strikes me the fourth option.
Everyone, get creative and make jobs. Done.
But so far the handful of people are too good at creating jobs and others are too not focues on creating jobs.
Not the ideal image of humanity at the moment, for both economically and intellectually.
Anyways, some of my own theories of the solutions of the problems with the knowledges I have so far. I'm not a big fan when people bring up so many problems and hardly any solutions. So figured I could toss a few bones on it, even if they could be the ones that already happened and didn't work without me knowing about it.
And who knows? Maybe we actually haven't tried everything.
Ps : I actually met a quite a number of people who believe poor people are poor because they deserve to be poor, because they didn't work and didn't think hard enough to get out of their own situation. Most people who were a bit too proud to say that were Americans and later turned out to be quite the anti-Obama bunch of people, whatever the other political stands there are in America.
Is that a thing? If people are poor and dumb, they should be bullied and abandoned? And are they really not working harder than most people?
There's something I said to the other Koreans about how people should drive, because people drive kinda too angry and crazy here.
Being a better drive is not an excuse to get nuts behind the wheels, make a phone call while driving or be the speeding reckless drivers and swear at other drivers. If anyone has any capable driving skills to have enough luxury like that, they should rather spend those efforts to cover up the bad drivers or the drives who's making mistakes on the road or the emergency vehicles. That should reduce the colossal amount of lethal vehicle accidents and the stress level of the cities, thus people get to think about happier things and more focused on happer thoughts or solutions instead of keep having problems and things to complain about every day.
I think the same can be said about these rich and poor people's gap and its economical situations and how people are treating each other in general. Because some people do manage to get money in a lot of very easy ways somehow. I mean, look at those YouTube vloggers! It's ridiculous! And in the same country, the other people are stumbling into this video? Madness.
I think people are free to, and has all the rights to, help other people, is what I'm thinking.
Ps 2 : Bliss is quite possible, no matter the condition of the environment, and make it a full life. But I think that's more of a introverted people's thing and the extreme ones. But even for non-extreme-introverts, and I mean not that making it should be the first priority. But just know that one can make a good balance of the real world and the inner-world. And whenever everything looks too dark, it can always work as a fail-safe. Understand that, then even the end of the world won't set you off to the panic mode. And you never know what you'll find down there. You may even find a courage to stand up against the disasters and actually emerge.
