    Food for all!

    This is harder to organize than other things. this is not money so we need to actually generate it. if we were to observe the homelands, we will find that everyone here has food except for those without land. the cheapest but slowest solution to this is to take the rubbish from the food stuffs of those with land and give it to the people that have no food as compost or whatever you call it.

    Or, we could take the excess from the established commercial farms and give to them before it spoils. this will take very little effort. we could make this more formal with paperwork or something, like an election where the people get their thumbs inked? the state could buy a lot of food with a inkling of the revenue.

    The reality is that in the homelands most people don't grow very much, they wait for the grants to come in every month.

    If someone cannot afford food they go hungry and food is our basic need and anyone can't live without food. Food for humans is mostly made through farming or gardening.Food is what people and animals eat to survive . Food usually comes from animals or plants .
    Vegetables.
    Fruits.
    Grains, Beans and Nuts.
    Meat and Poultry.

    Which creates it own problem. Why should I work, if I can get a state grant.

    Up north, most people become entrepreneurial or they die, as no one really cares. It is not a good thing, but that is nature.

    How about the shops all gather together, in the name of charity, and buy in super bulk, allowing them to spread the produce around without adding to their costs? this would work if the owners were not so greedy - we need them to be charitable, without loss to themselves, instead of being scrooges.

    Could you please define a reasonable amount of greed - knowing what the reasonable limit is would be really helpful.
