The conclusion I can only form is that this society is far too conditional in the resources it gives to people in need, even government welfare programs. My political views have changed to where I believe the monetary system should be modified to where everyone gets an unconditional income that can pay for housing, food and basic living that increases with the rate of inflation. No stipulations, no requirements.
The central banking system wastes so much money on so many things, the least it can do is guarantee basic living. I mean, heck, if the Treasury can shell out for $40,000 patriot missiles to kill innocent civilians, why not inherently feed everyone as well?
I'm sick and tired of seeing homeless welfare programs that restrict people into getting work and being assimilated into a program in order to receive basic care. Society needs to unconditionally support all if it has inherently decided to centrally control resources in the first place.
The culture that fails these people is the idea that we have to conditionally earn our way through life, that we have to attain a level of productivity to be loved and valued.
We are no longer animals that have to kill or be killed, successfully scavenge or die. We are supposed to be social co-creators and family.
It's not just about helping people. It's about helping people without expectation. So many "charitable" efforts just end up controlling people in the end.
The solution isn't taking control of people and "guiding" them. It's accepting them as they are, letting them be in a safe and stable place, and let them discover who they are and their truest desires; Not choosing for them.
