One way to finance an idea
is to convince people it is important, and then get those people to fund it. Raise
and spend. Another way is to build the Capital to finance it. The dilemma is
most of the needs we raise funding for aren’t limited. This means building
Capital for later, means not spending now. Even though there are things that
need spending on now. Financial Poverty is just one example. There is mounting
evidence that the best way to help people in Financial Poverty is directly.
Give them cash. Pay as you go redistribution is a hand-to-mouth solution. Another
way would be to build Community Wealth Funds that pay a Universal Basic Income
as a dividend. That requires time. There is a middle ground. If some of the
money raised is used to fund immediate needs, and the balance is used to build
a sustainable solution. Eat some fruit. Plant some trees. Live in the present,
but build for the future.
