MeWorld is in turmoil. Populations are shifting in vast numbers, climate changing, monetary systems being controlled by a few "emperors, religious factions tearing at one another. Life is getting tougher for everyone.
Solutions seem possible.
First some basic assumptions:
1. To survive, people need water, food, shelter from the elements (ranging from clothes to housing), electrical power, and, (in order to have some control of personal space) transportation.
2. People are generally more comfortable with their own kind. This is not a call for segregation but simple recognition that different groups have different cultures and feel most comfortable when living with others of similar culture (language, morals, religions, etc.). This is also not intended to prevent those who wish to live in other cultures the right to do so.
I propose that the populations who are shifting to find a better life be asked to return to those areas. Right now millions from the Middle East are moving. There are so little resources in many of these vast spaces like the Middle East (besides their oil reserves) that eking out a living is difficult. But if people had access to inexpensive water, food, and power, life would be much more tolerable for those souls trapped in barren lands.
So. First water. We lend our scientists and engineers to help them construct desalination plants. We still have lots of ocean water despite its now less than pristine nature. Building and maintaining plants will offer jobs to the population, but, more importantly, pumping millions of gallons of fresh water into arid areas will go far in meeting the second need: food.
Here again, we could help put barren land into production of food. More jobs. (And great practice for turning the barren lands of other planets into something that will sustain humans?)
Most places already have housing, electricity and transportation systems. Where they don't, we can build them.
I think having "advanced" groups helping those less fortunate might ease tensions.
Instead of letting the very few control the financial system perhaps we should just change systems. Maybe something like Bitcoin. Or a whole new systems entirely. Make their money relatively worthless. (Vigilance in preventing them from taking over the new system.)
