Money – Who Shares It?

Rich person
Poor person
Beggar or thief
Who will share
their last dollar with me?

I’ve seen this question on other sites a lot recently as during a pandemic many are told they cannot work and they don’t know how long it’ll be till their next pay check. So I wonder what our thoughts are here?

If you want to get beyond a guess, into macro-systems, do you believe in trickle down economics? Do you think charity is a viable system?

This is something we need to reflect on as the climate gets worse. More systems we now have will crash, crops will be destroyed by storms, more and more people will need to migrate.

Those factors will lead to more deaths. More starvation, fewer vaccines. And we will need to do more than think about how few cents a day they would have needed to survive and why when this is already happening are we not working to change things before it gets worse?

Has the Covid 19 pandemic taught us anything? Malaria hasn’t. AIDS hasn’t. But this pandemic is coming to our doors, our loved ones are more at risk than ever. So do we care now?
