1.110 Giant Hypermarkets strategically placed throughout poor regions

< Previous Issue Higher Issue All Issues Next Issue >

What if you were put in charge of the World tomorrow? How would you run the planet?

If you have arrived onto this page from an external link or search engine, the material below will make no sense whatsoever unless you know why www.12-12-12.org was written. A very brief summary can be read by clicking here

This globally popular educational and research website lists every national and international problem in the world in a rather unusual and entertaining way, so remember to bookmark www.12-12-12.org in your favourites folder! For the record: Andronicos the author does not profess to greatness in any shape or form. Lets continue.................

Andronicos "The Great" as Director of the Human Race and Manager Planet Earth commands and Andronicos "The Cynic" responds as follows.........

 

The following directives are to the major supermarket chains from rich tribal regions.

Hypermarket

People in developing tribes, especially tropical islands, are ripped off by small village supermarkets. By the time a basic imported commodity has gone through various middlemen and transportation costs, the final price is extortionate. Get rid of the middlemen. Open several superstores. Pile 'em high, sell 'em cheap and provide weekly transport cost free to poor people to get to their new hypermarkets. Start at one end of the island (or region) and work round depending which day it is. Allow cheap international wire transfers from supermarkets in UK and American tribal regions to customers of these new hypermarkets. This will allow someone who needs to send small amounts of grocery money to his Caribbean mamma, to do so quickly, cheaply and securely every time he goes shopping in his local superstore.

Shopping Don't undercut local produce though. This initiative will create little global profit at first, but no harm either, so do it. I direct major supermarket chains from rich tribes to check this out as part of the banana spending initiative. After all, some of your senior buyers will be in the vicinity anyway.


Summary

After 1 ACH the least paying jobs may still have to be done in one form or another. But there will be a huge difference in the worker's standard of living, even though the pay may be similar to before. Don't forget - money is a confidence trick. A street cleaner in New York possibly earns the same dollar amount as a doctor in Mogadishu. But what will happen because of War Bond finance is that a street cleaner in Mogadishu will get a basic home, basic healthcare and basic food even if he remains a street cleaner. This sort of future is what the War Bond and your help will bring to the poor. Our Mogadishu street cleaner can then spend his hard earned few cents on luxuries which until then he could only dream about.

It makes moral sense and economic sense to change the global way of thinking to make this happen.

One of the greatest potential disasters to befall the human race is if a clever team of scientists discovers a gene or drug that gives human beings huge life spans and does this before poverty and war are eradicated off the face of the Earth.

I wish a team of clever scientists could eradicate His Greatness form my body.

Ponder............
It will take an average person 12 hours to read and understand the contents of this website and listen to 'The Speech'. Is one hour a day for 12 days too long? Why don't you email the www.12-12-12.org link to 12 of your friends and discuss their opinions in 12 days time? Maybe the 7th person in your email chain can break the secret code and the 12th person, may hold the key to World Peace. Are you or someone in your family the 7th or 12th person?
