Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like the following texts for you to highlight,
in the hope to find a solution to the impasse in which we live.
The questions are clearly marked with a question mark,
the opinions or observations end with a period.
Please take all the time you need to read the following texts
and give a possible answer, I do not expect a quick response.
" Responsible behavior "
Respect human and animal rights, stop the repression, accept each other's differences, give everyone the freedom to choose what he or she wants. Let not another fall victim of your own actions. Look closely at each other's neighbors, don't close your eyes to injustice.
Changing the world, I can not do alone. How can you determine a fair value for a product or service? Where is it based on? And how is it fair? Who says what a loaf of bread cost? Or how much someone gets paid per hour of work? What is the investment? What is the result? What is the advantage? Not only for the seller but also for consumers.
Responsibility is of common interest, and consumers must choose and think, and the seller must itself be fair and reasonable.
(In other words, things are not too expensive and not too cheap, it must be good and / or healthy, at an appropriate hourly wage manufactured or finished and it must not be at the expense of the quality of the environment.)
Altogether, the presence or development of an atomic bomb, biological weapons and chemical weapons, in addition to the existing firearms, within the reasoning of this text -, actually is appointed as irresponsible (towards the community).
(What eventually, probably after much fuss? leads to the insight that the increasing violence with particularly in the Middle East like a smoldering fire will take on to parts of Europe, Asia, Africa and therefore America, both North and South, and that we never should have started this whole war.)
The threat of terror alongside those of a nuclear war are so extreme that I as a simple earthling would like the politics of fear (particularly Israel, Iran, North Korea and America) immediately stops and that we start thinking about possible solutions to the crisis.
(instead from blaming each other for the misery. To begin we would just say sorry, I did not know you were afraid and had so much grief. Let's help each other, support and stop fighting over bread, power, money, religion or a job.)
After all, we all are equal. A cause for celebration.
"Non-profit system"
A historian at Pauw and Witteman said last night: " My thesis is an ode to capitalism, but I think that we must get rid off our profit system " W: " It's welfare, not wealth " " Yes, that is the old idea, but we must now look how we can better ourselves, more sustainable, more efficient without growth "
The funny thing is that I also am thinking about a nonprofit ideal (cost price + 0), where someone is making money, but not only enriched him- or herself, you could consider research cost and development cost also all just part of the total cost price.
The result is that on the other side of the coin (the customer, consumer, world) the one which is dependent on your service or product will get exactly the price which it will cost you. In other words, by stopping the enriching the impoverment stops on the other side, to keep the possibility of growth still maintained we would need to go to a non-profit system, I think, where everyone works at cost price.
What exactly that total cost is, is again depending on the basic cost of living of the staff plus the costs incurred by the store, the company or the institution itself to actually supply the requested products or services safe and sustainable.
The total cost divided by the number of hours worked results than in a fair hourly wage for both the worker and the client.
This means therefore that the leadership, responsible for the safety and durability, also only should work at cost price, and thus that may mean that if the risk factor and the environmental stressors are low in the total cost of the product or service that the manager in this case deserves as much as his or her employees.

>> Then the question: what are basic costs?
Fly trips to six million? luck with your company, Mr. Marx!

"The FARC is coming to Oslo: I do not want to command "
We die here in prosperity, they live in poverty. For the law, everyone is equal, but for the government evryone is not. If you think logically you know that the burden should be distributed equally as possible and thereby there should be a challenge to a better future. This means that if someone is going to earn more, he or she must bear more load off, but obviously not as much as what happens in Cuba by corruption (I guess?) in exploiting its own people at the expense of individual freedom. Therefore I seek a middle ground where capitalism and communism come together into a new democratic international system based on social-liberal ideology. It is a simplification of the existing system which very much is already good about it,
it will mean that all basic needs are freely accessible at 1 new VAT rate on products and services of 50%, other taxes such as excise taxes, charges and fees are abolished, because everyone pays an equal share to the maintenance of society, where life is life and not survive.
For clarity, no childcare costs, no school fees, no sports fees, no health coverage (no contribution, no deductible, no insurance), no public cost, no legal fees, no energy cost, no housing cost, no municipal contribution, no water monopoly, no security subsidy, no border fees, no clean up (environment) allowance, no cultural attachment. Everything that humans and animals need to survive is freely available for the exchange of paying 50% tax on goods and services at the responsibility of the State.
>> This prints of yours, may provide useful guidance for poetry: just write so tight and 'simple', combine them together and create a beautiful book. 'Cause, you're very busy to profile yourself, but you must if you're in the picture is something to show that the critical investigation. It's not really easy! At this time your prose is better than your poetry.
Try not to go too fast, pull quiet ten years out, Jan Eijkelboom debuted at 50th, Jan Gerard Bearer when he was back in the 70s. Der Sleeve after his death.
Go well!
good luck!
> Thank you. I have my second book 'praying out loud' with its own illustrations by post.I also think of "the poetry newspaper" where other internet poets and writers have the opportunity to be read in the streets with a free (non-profit) newspaper that first locally at the bookshop, library and cinema will be available (for the promotion of free speech), while I still think a third '?' book and a fourth "everything is an opinion 'philosophical statement about what I'm used to doing in recent years, thinking of a better and fairer world, where life is life and not survive.

profit inhibits growth
quality costs money
count your cost, count your hours
if you sell a lot or work a lot
you earn more
(or less if you sell less or work less)
if you make expensive things or deliver expensive services
you also earn more
(than if you make cheap things or deliver cheap services)
in other words,
I'm not after your income,
who is doing a good job is getting well paid -
but your profit,
the mere enrichment
that I want to stop
to also stop the impoverment
on the other side
"Most reliable competitive edge"
And I might even have not made it clear enough that the non-profit situation (cost price + 0) is the best competitive position there is, because on the one hand, there will be no lawsuits for exploitation (probably in the form of profit tax) and on the other hand, no lawsuits for environmental pollution (probably in the form of quality tax), in other words, fair trade and a good product or service is purely social in the broadest support, and because the rules are not exceeded and the customer or employee share a fair price with the seller or the employer.
So, nonprofit: Not too expensive and quality. The result is an honest product or a fair service, so safe and durable. Resulting in reliability for both the customer or the vendor and employee or employer. On both sides of the coin a polite smile is grateful for what he or she deserves and receives.
