At 47 years old, I am far to old for this much suffering and struggling every single day, from never having enough #food to eat, to not having a supportive mattress to sleep on, to struggle to afford to maintain my personal hygiene and the cleanliness of my tiny cave, to living in constant pain, to having my #health deteriorate, to having clothing and shoes that are not falling apart to worrying about the roof I am under, so much of my troubles could be lessened if only people would come together and Actually Help this #disabled man living in #poverty, if 5 million people all gave just $1.80 say in the next 24 hours, I would have all the money I need to buy property and build a forever home, as well as have enough money to take care of myself for the rest of my life, and maybe just maybe be a position to really help others as well, I really wish people could and would see the value in helping me, I am tired of being hungry everyday, I am tired of worrying about I am going to take care of myself each day, I am tired of the added burdens that make my #disablity that much worse, and I am tired of people simply not caring about others. $5-10-15 It All Helps, via #cashapp at $woctxphotog or via #paypal at paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=…

So the latest Federal Budget spends $17 billion on tax cuts as a naked attempt to buy votes in the upcoming election.

Meanwhile, the Jobseeker payment (the unemployment benefit) could be raised to around the Henderson poverty line (roughly $80 per day instead of the roughly $50-60 per day) at a cost of $9.5 billion per year.

Keeping people in abject poverty, unable to afford the basics, is a choice made by both major parties.

The Australia Institute · Jobseeker payments are too lowNo-one in Australia should have to live on $56 a day. The current Jobseeker payment is inadequate by every metric, and the majority of families that rely on it live below the poverty line.

"In summary, the first globalization saw the rise of the West, the second the rise of Asia; the first led to an increase of between-country inequalities, the second to their decline. Both globalizations tended to increase inequalities within nations. The unevenness of countries’ growth rates during Globalization I installed most of the Western populations at the top of the global income pyramid. It is rarely recognized just how highly placed even the poor deciles of the rich countries were in the global income distribution. Economist Paul Collier, in his Future of Capitalism, writes wistfully of the time when English workers were on top of the world. But for them to feel high, somebody else had to feel low.

The second globalization drove some of the Western middle classes from these perches and produced a great reshuffling of incomes as they were overtaken by a rising Asia. This relatively imperceptible decline occurred together with the Western middle classes’ far more perceptible one with respect to their own national elites. It caused political dissatisfaction that found its reflection in the rise of populist leaders and parties.

Finally, we should note that the convergence of worldwide incomes did not extend to Africa, which continued on its path of relative decline. If that is not changed — and the likelihood of such change seems low — the relative decline of Africa will, in the decades to come, overturn the forces currently pushing global inequality downward and usher in a new era of rising global inequality."

I just published a blog essay, Games Billionaires Play, responding to Howard Lutnick's recent callous mulling about stopping Social Security payments to see who makes noise.

I make some counter-proposals about other games we could play.

Is There Any Hope, Or Compassion Left In This World?

I am a #disabled man living in #poverty, my #disability is 60% physical and 40% mental, and as I get older, both of those are increasingly hard to deal with, each day I try to do what I can where I live, as part of my rent is to help out when and as I can, but that is getting harder and harder to do, I am spent, between losing what little strength and physical ability I have left and not getting decent sleep nor having a decent diet, things just keep getting harder, and that causes my #anxiety to get worse which causes my #bipolar to cycle, which causes more lack of sleep, and I am in constant pain, and on and on it goes, Today is March 22nd my 47th #birthday, and I sure wish by the grace of God, somehow people help me #fundraise $5million dollars so that I can buy my own property and build my forever home, and have everything I need to never have to worry again, and to alleviate the stress of my day to day situation, and so I can really just age at a pace that wont effect anyone or anything, because in my own home, if I cant or dont feel like it I dont have to do anything for days, weeks, or months at a time and no one can get mad at me. People seem to forget that I am disabled and they dont realize I am getting older, nor do they comprehend that I simply cant afford #food to eat 3 meals a day, often not even one meal a day, that I have no #healthcare, people in general expect me to just keep going like the energizer bunny, when the reality is I am an old broke down ford truck, that on occasion I can get fired up and get a few things done, but more often than not, I really dont have the gas to even stand up. $5-10-15 It All Helps, via #cashapp at $woctxphotog or via #paypal at paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=…
