We’d like to now expand on that because readers should be more familiar with the issues and how to go about solving them. We’re not talking about a bunch of useless programs and large political initiatives to whip the vote here either. We’re talking about real things the people can do in order to retake control of all of our lives. Bringing the issue close to home...
So, what’s the point?When the workers are freely able to leave the system, that system cannot persist. What we described and asked you about is systematic underemployment. What good is it to create positions that aren’t filled? And if you can’t get the job, shouldn’t you try again elsewhere? And the issue is that you’re not exactly free to do so with ease. You need permission, you need money, and you need to navigate the plethora of laws around international travel that serve to discourage you from doing so. But what’s important to note is that you’re also a customer or potential customer. That’s the rub. If they let you leave freely, you can’t find ways to get money so that you can give it all to well established people at home. Do we have your attention now? Granted, the customer part makes sense, but there are plenty of other jobs... There are a lot of other jobs, however, those are in the minority. We’re not joking, the great majority of jobs in just the United States are service positions. Here’s a rundown from the Pew Research Center with citation. This is eye opening information and we’re not necessarily discussing political alignment with this. We’re discussing a non-partisan economic problem that needs an actual solution, not a bandage or a debate between parties under which the main issue is who wins and not them cooperating with the public to fix the problem.
potential customers are free to go, the ability of those companies to survive there without adapting is reduced. When tight budgets cause reductions in the available manpower of a company, quality goes down and job dissatisfaction goes up. The result of this cost reduction measure frustrates customers. However, the lack of other options makes them stay anyway. When both customers and workers know they have somewhere else they can go, potentially better, they will explore that other option before recommitting their time and money to the establishment they’re dissatisfied with. The key problem with home economies is that shoppers are stuck looking for products and services only at home. If the customer and the worker are only able to look around at home, and there are few options, they’ll eventually end up back where they started. They’re stuck in a loop. This is the trick that keeps the overwhelming majority of us in pocket. The higher ups don’t have to change because you’ll eventually be back. A common strategic move in economies like this is to then start acquiring competitors. That presents even fewer options. Sometimes they don’t even tell you when they acquire another business, so you’ll end up shopping with them anyway. That’s bold. You’re just anti-business… We’re not anti-business, we are a business. Here, let’s do this. Do you hate Coca-Cola and what they stand for, but prefer Dasani water? Cool, check this out. Coca-Cola owns Dasani. Prefer Powerade over Gatorade? Awesome. Coca-Cola owns Powerade too. Enjoy a cold Fanta here and there? Coca-Cola owns Fanta as well. Think Minute Maid is the most refreshing juice on the market? Get this. Coca-Cola owns Minute Maid. Eh, screw Minute Maid! It’s all about Simply Orange! Hmph! Coca-Cola owns Simply Orange. Glaceau Smartwater, Ciel, Odwalla, Fuze, and even Honest Tea are all owned by Coca-Cola. Some of your yogurt is produced by Coca-Cola. Here’s a full list of Coke products that you buy. It’s not that easy to get away from the brand you hate, is it?
Fine. What’s in it for you? Our business was designed around the people’s right to move around. We’re demonstrating that companies don’t have to lock people in for the sake of survivability. We’re creating more opportunities for more people, which we intend to fill, and empower the small business owner. We want a world with more businesses in it, no matter how small, and this initiative will allow for that to happen more easily. Let’s take streaming for example. A key issue facing many streamers today is the oversaturation of a limited market. So many people are trying to get into this industry but there isn’t as much room as there used to be because there aren’t very many platforms to start on. Furthermore, large movements for already established content creators drown out the smaller streamers who are just getting their start. This makes the climb up a lot more difficult. With Gamers Pointe, those newer content creating gamers will have a lot more options at their disposal. They’ll have ready access to other talented people so they can mix ideas, acquire graphics and animations, place music, hold interviews, and collaborate for mutual exposure. What we gain from this situation is a shared audience for the leagues we’re starting. Let’s add Call of Duty Mobile to this example. The gamers in question are all playing some version of Call of Duty, the new creator being centered on Call of Duty Mobile. By being featured on a console or PC Call of Duty channel, they can showcase their skills and share communities. Sure, they can already do this but the challenge is being noticed by, and coming in contact with, the larger act. In a real world community, a larger act could easily be a neighbor. So, they run into each other and share information. The larger act then decides to give the newcomer a chance. Both communities grow and we also have a potential team to showcase. We take that collaboration and promote it, creating a demand for this pair to team up. Let’s say they do. Now other players will take this move seriously and express an interest in joining the team.
How does this work for the business? We’ve got you covered. Let’s say 10 thousand people attend. That’s $250,000 in gross revenue. Let’s say 1 million people watch live. That’s $2.5 million in gross revenue. Let’s say 50 million people watch the ad supported upload. That’s another $50 thousand in gross revenue. That’s $2.8 million in gross revenue per tournament alone. Let’s now say we host these events bi-weekly, equalling 26 tournaments per year. This doesn’t encompass all of the games we’ll be supporting, but this is just a baseline. That’s $72.8 million in gross revenue per year. Do we hoard the money? No. We invest in the community so it continues to grow. We bypass public trading and instead open a second location that only we own. So, for the sake of this example, we’ll put the first location in the US. Not only do we need more people to have access to come here and join the initiative, our community needs it too. This benefits the country. More people are coming here to spend money that goes right into the economy.
Let’s now say that we open our second location in Mexico. Great. Mexicans now have opportunities to look forward to and the problems caused by past mistakes have less bearing on their lives. This balances out immigration rates from that country and their economy begins to grow. Some people working here will go there to help get the location started. The rest of the positions will be filled by Mexican nationals who also launch their own businesses as gamers. The Gamers Pointe corporation doubles its annual gross revenue. We expand. Say we open a location in Canada and another one in South Africa. Each one fills up and the annual gross revenue quadruples. Now we can open four more. Let’s place those in Japan, New Zealand, Germany, and India. What about the previous locations and the jobs that opened up after a bunch of employees left to help out at new locations? We fill those positions with more citizens. Immigrants don’t steal jobs, they’re a scapegoat. Employers hire immigrants for lower rates of pay and then blame the immigrants when there’s backlash. Instead of opening international locations that all depend exclusively on those locals, we send some of our staff there, increasing their pay and career prospects. Locals accept those vacant positions and have all the same opportunities. Win-win-win. Sales by volume without price gouging does work, and Population Redistribution will work. But we need your support in order to make it happen. Please join us. Thank you for reading this far, we apologize for the long post, and we can’t wait to see you on the team. Please don’t forget to like, comment, and share. We’re accepting content submissions and more than ready to spread the word about your wonderful brand. Take care and we’ll see you again very soon. Back to Population Redistribution…So, more people than we initially predicted ended up visiting the site and checking out our first entry about Population Redistribution. That sure is promising. Hopefully this series will inspire some visible reactions soon.
Okay, we’ve identified some common concerns and responded to them. Let’s now take a look at some existing problems that would be addressed by the practice. The world currently lacks national support for Population Redistribution This means that world leaders obstruct Population Redistribution with policy instead of supporting a supposedly free person’s [or group’s] decision to relocate. Shipping, import, and export costs and time. Shipping can add up pretty quickly, and the cheaper the shipping, the longer it takes. With less red tape on top of the security checks and balances, shipping partners can more quickly and easily do their jobs. Furthermore, knowing that the demand for shipping may increase when people cross borders, inside the country or internationally, shipping companies can increase revenues and job fulfillment. But it doesn’t stop there. Being aware that you, the potential customer, could take your property with you, these companies will also be forced to provide you more appealing pricing. Finally, with such freedom, since business development is supposedly encouraged, more people can open shipping companies and force the existing brands to compete. What’s wrong with better pricing? What’s wrong with cost savings on life changing decisions? What’s wrong with job creation and fulfillment? What’s wrong with having the economic freedom to contribute to globalization initiatives? Big businesses are using crowdsourcing to contribute to shipping and delivery nationally. Amazon is contracting out work to independent shipping partners to help with local same day, 1 day, and 2 day deliveries. Imagine that sort of innovation spreading around the world. Imagine increased pay and better treatment when it does because of the value of human labor. Shipping companies will have to pay better to get much needed potential employees to accept those jobs and provide high quality service. Mass transit revenue. Some countries are encountering issues with mass transit. Many mass transportation systems are in jeopardy of being closed down or are in dire need of increased funding to continue running. Some cost more than the revenue they generate, leading to price hikes, low quality maintenance work, lost amenities, poor customer service, delays, and discontinued routes. It’s not fun to board a junker with high baggage prices just to fly a few hundred miles. It’s scary not knowing whether or not the craft is safe to travel in because of budget cuts. Sure, there are regulations in place, but those regulations are essentially minimum safety requirements and not the manufacturer recommendation. It’s not fun to board a bus in the winter that doesn’t have heat. Riders were already out on the cold and waiting to get on, and they have to sit on a cold bus just to visit loved ones in another city. It’s not fun to engage a frustrated employee who’s very rude because they’re underpaid, overworked, and dealing with unpleasant customers all day - customers who are largely unpleasant because of poor travel conditions. It’s not fun to deal with a cancellation because enough seats weren’t filled. Finally, it’s not fun to want to go somewhere and need to make other expensive arrangements or not be able to go because the route was closed or didn’t exist. With more people being free to travel, the travel industry can thrive off the increased demand and revenue. Availability of resources and taxable goods. One of the most obvious and valuable resources is human labor. Capitalist economies need human labor. With more people coming into a country, there are more people available to do the work. More people means more work, and that means more business tax revenue. This also means more funding available for business grants, even more jobs, even more tax revenue, and more market innovation. This results in more products and services, more income and sales tax revenue, and more economic mobility for more people. The tech industry is filled with regional goods that can much more easily find their way into previously unincluded countries. Getting these devices in supports market growth. Imagine what other resources can be brought in by immigrants alone. Some old families hold diamonds, gold, silver, rubies, jade, emeralds, quartz, copper, wood, brass, etc. They can bring those resources with them and add them to the available resources of their new host country. Criminal justice and imprisonment. Imprisonment is expensive and criminal justice systems are under fire with the public around the world. Maybe a better idea would be to ship out these convicts so they can work for their freedom instead of locking them in where their chances of being rehabilitated will decrease. These people could be contributive members of society if given the chance. If they can’t thrive in one place, let them try again elsewhere. Economic pressure is an important factor in a person’s decision to commit a crime. If a person is poor and starving, wouldn’t one expect them to steal food? If they’re dying of thirst, shouldn’t you expect them to steal something to drink? In this digital world, wouldn’t a reasonable person expect them to steal electronics so they can communicate and look for work? Deprivation doesn’t help people be better, it encourages them to be worse. Those are just some of the issues that would be addressed by a movement in favor of Population Redistribution. People tend to relocate when they’re missing something. Let’s let them do that. Got more existing problems you’d like addressed? Please add them to the comments below and we can discuss them. Thank you for reading along, please remember to be nice, and share! Population Redistribution...Okay, we know you’re thinking that means something negative, but it really doesn’t. Give us a little of your time to explain where we’re going with this. It relates to our project and we find the subject quite interesting. What even is Population Redistribution?Population Redistribution is the allowance of the population to redistribute as needed or as they please. It’s the opening of borders to invite emigration and immigration without penalty and at low cost. The truth is that the vast majority of us are in some way trapped at home. It shouldn’t be so difficult for people to go where they can and will be happy. Why should you support Population Redistribution?Think of how many times you’ve wanted to travel but couldn’t because of all the red tape. Consider how many opportunities you’ve missed simply because you couldn’t afford the trip, or some past mistake or misunderstanding barred you from traveling abroad, or how you were being essentially punished for the atrocities of other people. The problem with this treatment of the people is that it makes so many people unhappy, especially the less fortunate. Let us respond to a few common concerns to explain why this is actually a plus for everyone.
We don’t want undesirables in our country. Every country has undesirables, including yours. Undesirables are inevitable and a matter of perspective. Some people are happy that way and believe their life choices are right. But if they’re really so unhappy as to cause problems at home, wouldn’t it be better if they had an easier time going somewhere else? There’s not even a guarantee undesirables will enter your country. And if they do, that’s what your law enforcement is for. But they’ll steal our jobs. That’s not a real thing. A job can’t be stolen because employers give jobs to people, meaning they make the hiring decision. The next piece is that you can’t lose a job you weren’t offered, you didn’t accept, or you resigned from. Someone seized an open opportunity, just like you and your countrymen do. It’s not different just because someone is from another country. A foreigner isn’t coming into your office and forcing you out of your position, they’re accepting a job you didn’t want, you lost, or you quit. They’ll just evade taxes, drain welfare programs, and avoid military duties. If they can more easily attain citizenship, they’ll be accountable for their taxes because they’ll be on official payroll. They won’t be a drain on welfare programs, which are actually overwhelmingly occupied by existing citizens, because they’ll be able to work legally with citizenship. That would also increase tax revenue overall. Military enlistment is mostly voluntary and the overwhelming majority of people in developed nations do not and have not ever joined any branch of any military. The military population is a minority population by a long shot. There were 327.2 million people in the US in just 2018. There are 2.2 million members of the US military. That’s only 0.672% of the US population. That means 99.328% of Americans aren’t in the military. If there was a draft and they dodged it, then the concern would make sense because it would then be a matter of contribution and fairness. The last draft call was December 7, 1972. That was 47 years ago. Our population is growing too fast and we can’t sustain all of those people. That’s not true. Most countries have tons of uninhabited land that could be developed and used to generate resources to contribute to the entire economy. In the US alone, around 47% of the land is uninhabited. That’s not only where no one lives, it’s land that isn’t being used for anything. About 30% of France is uninhabited - and France is MUCH smaller than the US. We’re not saying that 100% of the land should be occupied, we’re just saying it’s not a matter of free space. If the concern is too many people, it would be good for people to be able to leave. But there are two opposing ideologies here. Developed capitalist nations thrive on population growth because it increases the overall size of the workforce. Those governments don’t actually want their populations to shrink. The people who are worried about the population ballooning are actually contesting their governments. The government says… The governments say a lot of things, that doesn’t make those things true. People lie. Elected officials are no different. No one is above reproach and there is no law in most countries that officials or the media have to tell the truth. If governments were so concerned with the population growing too much and too quickly, they should have no problem making emigration easier for us. They don’t. Their actions and policies are contradictory to their public statements. Emigration typically costs a lot of time and money that most can’t afford to spare on travel abroad. The process takes a long time, the permission isn’t guaranteed, getting back home comes with a long list of conditions, required and recommended immunizations are expensive, etc. So, most would be travelers just give up on the idea of traveling the world. That’s not good. Due to our survival instincts, people who feel trapped, afraid, are encouraged to have nationalistic attitudes, and are provided weapons are more likely to behave violently and hoard resources. So, crime rates should be expected to rise with this sort of policy. These concerns are almost entirely unfounded. They’re largely just regurgitated talking points that originate in powerful individuals with hidden motives. Look at it selfishly, which is also fine to do. Think about the freedom you would like to have. Just as those countries would have to change to accommodate you, your country must change to accommodate those people. Now the powers that be will have to appeal to people in order to get them to stay, others can join in the fun, and anyone can leave whenever they want. Bear in mind, this isn’t all about moving between countries, it’s also about moving within countries. Our project uses this concept to create new positions to be filled in more places. However, people need to be able to get to those locations. People should have the freedom to chase opportunity for quality of life reasons and no law should stop them from doing that. Let’s not only solve problems, let’s prevent them. Come back for more on this subject. This is going to be a series. |
