What the world needs now

An old Bacharach-David song.

The line that follows is "love, sweet love".

All well and good - at that time.

For now, it needs jobs and more jobs. Worthwhile, rewarding (not necessarily excessively rewarding) jobs. Creating a situation where there are more jobs than there are people available (which has never been the case in my adult life). Creating a situation where people only get into debt when they choose to, not because they are forced into it as insufficient income is available.

And not letting nationalism, national boundaries, religion or ageism get in the way.

And governments using their funds wisely so that they do not run up debt piles for future generations.

And an end to the nauseating propaganda like "we can all make it in this world" and "the poor only have themselves to blame", and the ridiculous theory that everyone has selling or gambling skills that they can use to get them out of the problem, so only people who can sell or gamble get rewarded in this world.

And banks working on sound money business principles and not becoming substitute casinos. If you want to gamble, then fine, but let us not have economies dependent upon gambling.

And politicians finally earning their money by solving the problems of the population at large, and not just serving the interests of their backers.

Or to use the title of another Bacharach-David song - "Wishing and Hoping".
