Topic: We care about the economy, but we can't change its direction - page 3. (Read 616 times)

It is not possible for us to change the economy everything is generally moving forward. Despite the achievements and achievements some obstacles remain in any economy, some of which are external. Some are our underlying economic problems for example, if there is a fragility in the external world or a difficulty in the trade cycle in the past when there was a global economic collapse the poor suffered a lot. Therefore, in the current situation people of all professions have to adapt to the situation then it is easy to protect themselves.

The whole system will have to change, but the problem is that if the society has been program to act on a certain way for hundred years, then it will also take hundred years to purge and have a new society. So unfortunately, we might not see it in this life time, perhaps our grand children will, but we really don't know what the future holds. Maybe 50 years from now we will have a new world order.

That's why we should operate on the premise that if we can't change the economy, at least adapt on it. Similar to what happen during the pandemic, do you guys think that we will survived if not for human's adoption?

The government robs the society and takes away their power to elect a good leader, with rigged elections. Days are gone when people made the decision of who rules or not. For most sitting leaders it's not cozy to hand out a new leadership to a complete stranger - not minding if it's the people's choice. Gently, citizens are becoming democratically powerless, and I'm not familiar with a protest or strike that changed a sitting leader.

We aren't powerless, we are the power but the problem is that we can't use that power because there isn't unity among people. There are many jobs where salaries are very low, and workers are exploited but the company owner has very high profit margins. Can we change that situation? Yes, we can. Workers can stop working and demand higher wages but you know what's the problem? If you stop working and demand high salaries, your co-workers will still work at a low pay rate and some of them will try to use this as an advantage to level up in the company. Another problem is that if all co-workers stop, others will try to use that as an opportunity to take their places instead of boycotting the company. Businesses and governments know that very well, that's why we always passively accept whatever the direction of the economy is.

I think the economy is a very, very big system and only a power like a country or money from a conglomerate can change it. On a smaller scale the economy is very difficult to change. We cannot expect to be able to change something in the market like setting a price or standard in selling or buying. There will always be people who seek big profits from the market. There will always be poor people and rich people from the economic system. What we can do is adapt and find a gap how to use everything we have to gain profit. Currently the skill and ability to utilize internet services will be a reference whether we can adapt to the economy in the modern era or not.

People will care about how they can survive with the economic change, regulation, global markets, and other decision from the government. But they can adapt themselves with the current situation although that is difficult for them because they want to still survive for their family. They don't care with what political saying because that is not work for them so they will focus to have a better life without having a problem in their life. They know they can not influence the economic politic and other things so they are trying to protect themselves and prepare for the worst thing that may comes. They have power to do many things without think about influence the economy because their focus is only for their family.

You are absolutely right. Today's greater economic context includes forces beyond our control-government policy, global market trends. It is discouraging to think how little our actions affect those greater systems.

However, I think that while it is not possible for us to control the direction of macro-economic trends, there are still areas in which we can, to an extent, shape the economy in our small way.  This might affect the company's behavior and any prevailing market trends. Also, support for local businesses and sustainability does have a positive impression on the economic and social bottom line.

The second reason is that an informed person, who can participate in social and political discourse, influences local and national economic policies more with time. Individual personal behavior often seems so trivial, but they mount up, and that's how revolutions of change often get created.

Protection via sound financial and cultural planning remains paramount. It is equally important not to lose sight that we have the capability of effecting change through conscious decision-making and collaboration.


Although we may seem powerless against the large forces that shape the economy, But there are still ways to gain power. Although it doesn't always happen quickly. It is true that economic change often leads to political action and social change. This may seem impossible for most people.

While each of our efforts at voting, activism, and support for the same leaders and shareholders taken separately may not make much of a difference, such efforts put together can bring about changes at the institutional level. These processes, with a realistic appreciation of the fact that inflationary and corrupt conditions are difficult to control, may gradually result in an inclusive and stable environment.

It also focuses on personal financial agility and prefers to inspire others in this direction. It could also buffer immediate shocks of economic cycles. We may not be able to change the greater economy ourselves, but through the efforts of many and conscious decisions, change can occur in our community and trickle elsewhere.

We ourselves think that we are helpless with the dominant power that can change the economy only in the structure of government, you have a lot of money, you can change it by playing a role in politics, inviting elements to strike and work simultaneously.
This helplessness will continue if inflation continues to push tax costs increasingly expensive from various sides and must form a government that is sterile in fining corruptors by legitimate leaders in their positions.

for as long as you're still operating on a small scale point as far as the economic sector is concerned, thier is a very little thing you can do to help boost the economy for the better. Practically, you're a primary victim of the bad economy and if you're running a business in such kind of devastating economy like the one we're used to, the best thing to do is to work on scaling up your Business at the least and then you can possibly think on helping others.

Truth is that for you to effectively help remedy a broken system, the first thing is that you must thrive to come out of that system first or you're drained down while trying to help out. What can you even do to help as a small scale person? Reduce the price of your goods and then pay high transportation fees to go get them? You're going to suffer huge loss if you ever think of stuff like that. For me, I think it's best to empower yourself or better still get involved in the politics that's going on in the society or else, your chances of not being badly affected to the point others will think on possible ways of helping you will be so slim.

We are not a determinant of the increase in goods and we are also not a determinant for decision making regarding economic problems in relation to general. Life amid this condition makes it difficult because the currency loses value and difficult for people to find a source of fixed income will further affect human life. To influence the economy to be more stable, especially for ourselves, we must try to get a stable income consistently to meet all needs and in this way we can further improve the standard of living for the better.

In a simpler scale we must think about how to make money for ourselves or for family needs. The pattern can be adjusted to the skills we have and see the potential in which sectors we can develop, be it household business, plantation, agriculture, livestock and so forth. Humans must be creative if they do not want their lives to be more difficult because no one else wants to help if not ourselves

We, as a common people, have only one power - the power to vote! That's it! Rest all depends on the industrialists and the politicians. They run the world and influence the markets. As a common person, there's almost nothing you can change. That's why you still see protests and placards on the street and petitions in the internet.

Social media is one platform where you still can raise your voice and gather some support. But if you really want to change something at scale, you will need followers and supporters to support you in your endeavours.

So it's easier for a common person to go with the flow!

We're not powerless but as individuals, we've got lesser power and we don't realize that if we come together and be as one, that power will be visible from all of these factors and aspects. When companies see this power, they intend to do what's necessary and that's why there are some of them that don't allow labor unions because they know where it is heading. We don't have control over the world economy as we just have to be adaptable and prepare for the worst. And this has something to do with leaders too, so if you're living in a democratic country, choose the suitable leaders.

We as individuals, are the economy and that's one of the powers that we possess when it comes already. Those small scales of businesses and individuals when put up altogether create a stronger force and margin in the economy.

That's also it, the thing is we're all surviving and this kind of life that we're having is like survival at its fittest. But what can we expect? we will wait for some superhero to save our lives and economies? no, we act on our own to save our own lives and do better with our living and that's why we're adapting.

You can try as an individual or a few individuals to influence the economy of things around you but until the government of the country makes an effort, our efforts will be irrelevant and not significant because the government are more in a position to make things work than the citizens of the country who are mere citizens and do not have the power to adjust or make new policies or regulations that would favor the economy. What you can do is try to make sure that the system does not suppress and kill you.

We can have all the control and make some positive changes within our own economy, but talking about the country's economy, I have to say it's beyond our control. But still, we can take part on some small progress on helping our fellow individuals through offering some job opportunities if ever there are chances, like when you have a small business and you need some workers on it. That way, aside that you make your own progress, you become an instrument as well to experience some economic progress on their own.

We can't influence the economy as a whole, because the actions of one person will look like a drop in the ocean.

No passive behavior, we need to be active! We can use this to our advantage, to strengthen our economic position.

We become powerless as soon as we begin to believe it.

Don't try to influence the economy, influence the "economy" in your life by trying to improve it.

Something like this. Instead of trying to influence something big, you need to focus on the small thing you can influence, which is your personal economy.

I think this completely depends on where we live in the world.  Some of us have more power than others based on our voting rights.  Say like for myself here in the United States, we do have the power for change, however it's not as easy of a "fix" as it might seems as with our current two party system, we only have the illusion of "choice".  If we voted for changed in how we elect officials, then I believe we truly could make meaningful change that would then allow us to be able to change our economic outlook/output.

If we are part of the collective effort to influence the economy then we are not powerless.  Economy cannot be influenced by a single normal person but with collective action of these normal people, it can at least make the economy react.

As a single person it is too much for me to shoulder and think of solution to correct the economy.  I'd rather make a strategy where I can cope with the changes without lacking in financial area.  I have the power to improve my personal economy so just like the reply above me stated.  

Rather than thinking of the problem and sulk because of the helplessness of changing it, I'd rather prepare myself and do certain measures that enable me to sustain myself and my family.

Everyone knows that the economy is bad but their is not we can actually do to change it than to accept it the way it is because we have tried if anyone have been following what have been happening in kenya due to economy issues we can not continue to suffer in the hands of those we elected i so much respect the courage of those guys because if even they were unable to change some things at least everyone commended their effort and it is a good thing i expected Nigerians own to also go towards the same direction but the whole thing is been threaten by armed forces, and if we try and things are not getting better we can not starve all we can do is our best for our self, and also go back to the old ways all this modernization is becoming out of reach for people even medications.

people will always find a way of making money for them self and this is a decision all of us must be ready to make if it does not work then we try out a different one because we can not give up now at this point the government have extorted us to much that they don't even know what ways they can use again to extort money from people. and i love what you said about not focusing on the economy but rather focusing on how to make things better for our self, even if we want to wait for the government have we not waited enough for them to actually fix this particular problem they have created.
 

Globally we dont have that much power but that doesn't mean we can't change the economy for ourselves and our families because in the end we can still do that and it is us who have to change it so that our economy is better.

Currently we are in a difficult condition for economic problems but that doesnt mean we cannot survive because in the end to make our economy better we do not need to change the global economy to improve because we will not be able to do that but we can change ourselves so that the difficult conditions of the economy due to inflation and other problems are not too disturbing. This can happen when we focus on what we want to achieve and can manage our finances well by stabilizing the income and expenses that we do today.   Don't push too hard to make changes to the global economy if we are not up to it, it is enough that we can make changes to our lives in terms of the economy so that we and our families are maintained in the midst of an increasingly difficult economic crush then that is enough.
 

Whether we like to talk about this or not, whether we want to be associate ourselves with the current economic realities bedeviling my country or not, the reality is that we are affected by it and we must work towards alternative ways to live a better life.

Unfortunately, we have a government in Nigeria  that's irresponsible with their performance on the economy, making it a continuous unfortunate situation for our citizens at all time. The mismanagement of the Nigerian economy is unprecedented and that has given birth to the crisis we face together as individuals and as communities.

 As individuals, many people have gradually become incapacitated to the point of having no food to put on their tables, while many continue to become homeless and a lot more becoming harmful to their society bringing about the heightened insecurity in my country.
