Cash Transfer


People need Cash. Without a living wage, or a buffer, or Capital, or friends or family to assist, or time, it becomes the only problem that matters. What each individual needs the cash for differs. The best way for them to spend it differs. We live in a hand-to-mouth, pass-the-parcel economy where we have to be active to survive, and there have to be enough jobs (available and permissible) in a functional chain for the music to keep playing. We can’t pause to check everyone is okay. We can’t pause to breathe. Except. We can. There are buffers. There is Capital. We do have enough. The challenge is a very simple technological problem. Cash Transfers. One Bank account to another. One person to another. It is not that we can’t do it. It is that we don’t trust each other. Stay home doesn’t mean the same thing and we don’t live together. In a world where we can’t look someone in the eye, hold their hand in a greeting, learn to pronounce their name, and see their world… the immediate necessity is Emergency Trust.
