Lack of job stability, future, basic social income and freedom

People often speak about lack of job stability. Open-ended employment doesn’t exist any more. Pension is an unreachable mirage. The average age keeps increasing. A sole factory can manufacture all the handkerchiefs of the world. Technology has won.

Yet destruction goes on and nobody has enough money to live.

A basic social income should be established, that is, giving the necessary money to live to needy people. But if State accountancy is poor, what can be done?

Easy: once people used to tell not to give charity but fishing rods and teach how to use them.

Oil crisis has finally begun and it’d be enough to give solar panels, a land or a grove area to those who want them in order to guarantee them a minimum wage through the manufacturing and sale of energy, organic food, vegetable fibres or biomasses.

Or, instead of building useless pharaonic infrastructures, it’d be better to finance the small industry and trade thanks to microcredit.

Then, to defend employment and prevent environmental disasters, we have to buy only those products that respect the rights of workers, environment and consumers.

For the jobs nobody would like to do any longer, it is obvious that a paid compulsory civil service ought to be created, both for men and women at their coming of age and, should there be the need, one month every year so as to branch these jobs among many people.

Armies have to build houses so as everyone has a decent one to live in.

International solidarity has to be institutionalised, also through big media happenings.

Free health service, free education, free basic transportation.

Then, after all this has been done, someone can even invent one’s own profitable activity, or go on with their job or devote themselves to charity work, sport, temporary jobs, travels, games, entertainment, house chores, family and so on.

Do you have other suggestions?
