I like to think that more people, especially skilled people, should only really add value to the life of your community.

When I think of economics, I tend to think in tribal terms, because the Chicago School theory/philosophy everyone currently seems to subscribe to is far too complicated, and appears to be invalid on its face to my mind. So I think, "well, what's good for the tribe, how would that work."

This puts it in real, and modern terms with potential action items to get the ball rolling properly for everyone. :toast:

We need a safety net for the less-able, unable, and temporarily unemployed, I'm in favor of work over unemployment checks, long-term welfare and so on. A check in the mail is no substitute for a meaningful occupation, if an individual is left idle too long. I think it's disempowering. In my quasi-economic view, human beings are too valuable to be left to rot, for all intents and purposes.
