Topic: World needs more creators and builders of smart ways not just consumers - page 2. (Read 256 times)

Narrowing in on your references to banking, you certainly have an unusual view - that cracking down on illicit money flowing through your financial system is somehow a bad thing. Just because countries like Dubai are willing to overlook the source of the money, does not make them a good banking hub or one to be trusted over the long term. As quick as they are to take in dirty money that might not be accepted elsewhere, they'll probably end up losing it or seizing it unless you happen to be a very big fish that can benefit them over the long term and there are very few of them. It happens quite regularly, these hubs pop up as certain money flows around new laws or crackdowns in old jurisdictions, but it can dry up just as quickly. Look at Hong Kong, it used to be one of the major financial hubs in the world until China ruined it with the CCP overstepping the mark.

While the prices of things would crash hard if we could just produce more and there are limited amount of consumers for all of it, the way to do it usually happens to be either hiring more people or machinery. If you hire more people, you will have higher costs, and then you will end up not having enough profits when you sell for cheap, hence they go with machinery, these days even AI and robotics help.

So all in all, we can safely assume how this isn't going to be too simple, we are going to face a lot of trouble. So we should just avoid thinking about more creators or less consumers or anything like that and just try to balance the wealth gap between them, nothing more. If we can do that then there are no more problems.

I don't entirely agree with the fact that among the leadership or the wealthy section, innovation and creativity are totally dead. Indeed, there are definitely some people who are only concerned with profit and luxurious lives, but at the same time, there are more examples of innovation and responsible leadership. In fact, UAE has been upping the ante in chasing financial crimes like money laundering with new laws and high level committees set up to retain transparency within the financial system. A change like this shows that not all men in power are after greed alone but there are some who genuinely work toward the protection of global financial stability.

Also, while it is true that some leaders or tycoons may exploit resources, many others are pushing for green energy initiatives and technological advancements. Countries like the UAE, which up until recently was dependent on oil, is now investing highly in sustainable energy-like solar power. So, even as there is greed in the world, there's equally a push for smarter and more sustainable growth that happens in tandem.

lol, Shortmaster, but you express yourself in so many words, and not just this because I visited your profile, and there are many other long write-ups, It can be discouraging for many people.

On the topic of having too many consumers and not creators, I don't disagree, I have the opinion that what has contributed to people thinking less in the creative aspect is the fact that there are too many distractions these days that people are focused on. Creativity needs a quiet place, there is too much noise.

Woo. Has anyone noticed that the name of OP doesn’t match the post? It’s so long. :O

I believe there should be balance in a way but not much that it makes people not do anything. Consumers are the reason why they are doing it in the first place. It’s the profit. I think that the point of having more builders is more innovation would be done but being a consumer is for everyone. You’re a builder and consumer. It’s both worlds.

The world already has too many producers. Most produce garbish though.
Just look up Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and X-corp, 80 to 90% don't even have a website. They believe that they can convince their prosperous clients via Whatsapp.

What makes the world spin are the carpenters, mechanics, engineers of each trade.
Build a house via a Printer? Not if you are rural. Apart you need people guiding the printer. People who ride the lorry bringing cement.

That happens when people are too much into Social networks, Reality becomes fussy.

What the world needs is the thorough elimination of ignorance.
And more pressing, how to bring the upper 30% to open their pockets and consume more. 

it is always better to have more producers than consumers we can not even work on that because a lot of people are getting discouraged and they even have ideas to increase the market but no they only want to clear the idea from their heads because they are scared they might not have any support or what so ever take the agricultural sector for example were we have lesser farmers in the industry.  and I bet you that there are 1oo1 ideas but the government doesn't encourage people to show does ideas. true that they have people with the amount of money that they can invest in people's ideas but convincing them to even invest is another thing.

And if your idea is to make be the solution to a particular problem then you will make both money and a solution to the whole problem and the people that are designed to just consume don't have anything to give out to people they are meant to consume, we all can not be the same so we just have to choose what part we have to take but the interesting now is that everyone is becoming a producer one way or the other everyone is trying to help them self, things are no longer the same so we have to just get our self to involve to make survive easy.

By now we have a lot consumers than real innovation to do things smart ways.
What are the one big problem in the world is that we have a lot people many of them own business are in key positions of countries but they have no skills no innovation and plan to make things smarter but they have greed and they want to live in luxury as possible so they want to use resources in the maximum ways to make them rich more and their families.

We have a lot leaders and people who are rich but they don't innovate but they think there is endless means of resourcoures so they can just take it and spend it.
That's why we have mob kind of mindset becouse when you look into the mob and mafia it's the organisation of people who just takes what's arround them and enjoying the wealth until to the that point when they have all the wealth and all the power but the wealth value start falling in comparsion with global markets with other things maybe with other currencies and assets.
Since mob and Mafia kind of mentality only takes and leaves rest of the society in mess who is not in the mob then soon those mobseters will need to find better place to live becouse corruption and chaos have been killing the economy of country the value of currency and trust from the other countries.

In otherwords our world is like we have so many parasites that's just some humans nature who are eating the hosts out and once the hosts dies they have to find new ones or to join with others because parasite type of humans don't create nothing really they are not even interested of anything Creative but they want to own and use most of the wealth they maybe started as small group of steet mob but once growing bigger they end up creating their own goverments or political agenda.

This is the reason why very skilled and talented workers earn still not enough money to fullfill their needs and to fight with inflation-because there is a lot ambitious people who want to do nothing just to be rich stay rich and keeping their families rich and not much of the skills or some kind of innovation in their minds other than just living in full of Luxury, while they might be associated with dirty business it could bring them lawsuit so more money they make the more money they have to give away so more people they need to cheat and rob legally or half legally and half not legally.
So we have that kind of people in power so much and they consume more then 10 honest and hard working people together can do but yet they don't produce new resources physucally neither even mentally.

And that's why there is rules for money laundering because all those bad guys who get money by not moral ways we still have now days slavery for example dubai been built buy slaves that's not even the secret only the slaves have been not getting paid but the contractors who hired them been paid very well off course.
All of that dirty money in the world only those who could make it legal as possible will have opportunity to clean the money trough banks and legal methods.

If there would't be strong laws of money laundering then the banks would't be have time and resources just to deal with all the customers so only those can be serviced who got atleast some homework done and they meet the money laundering rules ....the AML / money laundering rules are not because to make our world better place it's just taking the work load off the banks because If there would be lax money laundering rules imagine bank will need to be Open 24 hours 7 days Week to deal with all those customers who want to deal with their dirty money.
So the money laundering rules will make just bankers life easy otherwise they will be working 24/7 and still they would't have time to serve most of the customers.
That's why western countries banks tighten up rules and make it not easy for everybody to entry into their system because world is full of dirty money and they all looking for place to park and make it legal.

If we see that UK or USA Europe and even switzerland and Monaco been making more strict money laundering rules it show's that There is huge demand of dirty money to entry these banking system so to make it easy for bankers they Made rules.

And now there is russian business and russian related assets restrictions and sanctions are not because of war or morals reasons really or because the biden want to be good person it's because otherwise the banks will be getting like "DDOS attacked" by russian related wealth and there would be not Even 24 hours enough for banks to deal with just 1% of the russian rich tycoons wealth and assets so there is not enough Banks and workers to deal with all that wealth what could come into financial system so in order make sure banks can function well and every customer well served they had to place the restrictions and sanctions otherwise banking and financial services will be over flooded of money and transactions.

Emirates was preparing early to hire more stuff and more Banks in order to handle all that money what was about come in:
The UAE has positioned itself as a financial hub that can accommodate large inflows of foreign capital. In recent years, it has developed its banking sector significantly:

Banking Expansion: Prior to the conflict in Ukraine, the UAE had already established a robust banking infrastructure capable of handling substantial amounts of foreign investment. The country has seen an increase in both local banks and international banks setting up operations within its borders.

Regulatory Environment: The UAE offers a relatively liberal regulatory environment compared to many Western nations. This makes it an attractive destination for individuals looking to move their wealth without facing stringent regulations or scrutiny.

So Western countries knew that they need sanctions otherwise russian wealth will over-flood all their system and there would be no time to serve the regular customers...lol so they made restrictions and sanctions.

America are happy about trump but he don't do anything new he more keep the old mobsters in power also trump is against Green Energy aswell
He just very small sighted stibborn person who praise the Putin and kim jon un friend of dictators and supporting the old mentality let the stronger takes all ....but after that wealth value start falling those mobsters will need help of the people who actually create and make new values into society because they can not create or think they just consume and rule until when there is times to change then in order to stay on the top they have to give away huge amount of their wealth to someone who actually create something and have skills and helping them out.
Becouse you can be wealthy and you ruin one country then you ruin second one you start looking the new countries then countries will say we don't want your wealth into our countries you are bad for our reputation so you desperately looking for place for your wealth your money is homeless your home and wealth is homeless and nobody don't want to deal with you openly only by secret deals but then you have to Pay bigger % in order to someone will take your wealth ofc, you try to put this on legal system as much as possible you use proxy states allready corrupted countries or banks but then again you need to pay them some % so they will help your money to move into dream location the every money launder dream destination the usa uk au or canada:) but on this journey since people never be 100% trusted and If you all ready dealing with corrupted countries or banks what will guarantee that they will be trusted they might take your money and steal it in promise to clean it for you....then you have another problems you need to hire the hitman to revenge so that's the another expenses .....and even the hitman " or contract killer could be scam ....lol so to keep your evil empire alive and wealth growing and safe it's a lot work and a lot problems where Sooner or later you will be invloved into violance the violance over the money and wealth and often times the corrupted leaders and mobsters end up killing each others because greed is there first they take from others then they enjoy for little bit then they start sharing it and moving it and then the issues because there is always who will steal from others If wealth is dirty.
