South africa politics 2016.

In nigeria there is massive land evictions going on in the city of lagos. the squatters are living near the 'lake' or river or whatever, and the land has been sold to developers who wish to develop the area. there needs to be a resolution.

If the state was to give the developers their money back, all will be resolved. this is, as far as i can tell, option one.

Option two would be to send the squatters away, to new land, close by, of course.

Option three would see the squatters having homes built for them, very small simples ones, to work at these places of development. they could be about a kilometer from the water, allowing for a fifteen minute slog to the water to do their things, and then the development could continue. this would see them get a portion of the land they claim to own - land i doubt they never owned, as it is close to the water, so they would have been there since 'the birth of man,' yes? with this logic, they must have always lived there, would like to continue living there, but would move if they would secure them jobs, yes?

But, where could they live for now? many homes have been destroyed, and, they need a place to live in the mean time. they could of course live in old crates from the harbor, abandoned ones, where they can fit two families to a crate, yes? this will take a week to organize i reckon.

Or, they could offer them to live in old abandoned warehouses? they could simply be stuffed into them, as that is a port city, and then simply wait. these warehouses could be rented from the owners, and then there would be a solution.

If we were to take a step back a little bit out of american politics, and i know most of you are american, we could also look at my country south africa. this is just for a little breather for some of you in america, where you would be very worried about your lives being affected, so, it is my turn to worry.

The main thing in my country at the moment is job creation. this simply means we should create more jobs, as the demand is there, but the money is not. of course, if there was more money, and the needs were there, then there would be more jobs, yes? this is not the case.

If the ruling party wants to create more jobs, as a third of the country is unemployed or so, then they should grant more small business loans. this will let the people sort themselves out, or, they could institute 'semi communism?'

My idea of semi communism would be where the state builds factories and pays the people that work there in food and other luxuries that other factory complexes would make. if there were six factory complexes, each making bread, milk and so forth, they could all swap and then satisfy each other's needs all the while the ruling party, or some other investor, could oversee the excess, no doubt quite a lot, could be sold for cash gains to keep them interested, of course.

What you are referring in your last paragraph sounds like the set up of the old URRSS. Satellite countries like Rumania. Bulgaria etc. were assigned "tasks", whose productios was re-directed and re-distributed through the central russian goverment. I do not know why the URRSS fall apart, but maybe that did not work.

There is at the moment a great deal going on about minimum wages being 3,500.00 or about 215.00 u.s. dollars a month. the people want more, the businesses want less... it is a big deal and a great mess.

So, what is a 'living wage?' bread costs about let's say ten rand a day, coming to 300.00 rand a month. then there is butter and milk for a day, coming to about 30.00 rand a day, coming to 1000.00 rand a month. then, there is sanitation and rates, coming to about 500.00 rand a month, i would say. new clothes would come to about 100.00 rand an item, for a family of four, 1000.00 rand a month. transport costs about 300.00 rand a month. this total is 3110.00 rand a month, after income tax this shows it is not enough, of course.

But, let's hear from the business owners? they would mark everything up by at least fifty percent a month, coming to let's say, if start ups are asking for 50,000.00 rand to 'start up,' then they would be processing fifty thousand rand a month, leading to at least 20,000.00 rand a month collecting money, coming to 10,000.00 rand a month or a start up. if start ups are making that much, and only the owners and maybe one accountant are being paid, they make a profit of about 10,000.00 rand a month to reinvest, yes?

For a long time now, i have understood 'the ways of the owners.' this is where they save up as much as they can - they skim off the business. the problem is sloth and a bad attitude, of course, from their workers. i have found that they write about four pages a day, each employee, and sales sits around waiting for calls. i have proven, with my own businesses i have consulted, that they are capable of so much more, maybe even, dare i say, helping each other work and receive orders for more income and money to skim off the top by the owners, of course.

Another factor of my country especially, is privilege. this is where everyone that grows up in a rich area has a parents with a good job, of course. this makes the parents, instead of making their children fight for their own livelihood, they tell them it is okay and save money for them - instead of giving them a chance at working, or inciting them to work, they skim too much, demand more - the owners - and then impoverish the lazy monthly paid staff. this means, due to the owner's paranoia, and the staff's selfishness, there is no profit to expand and hire more workers, if they even employ workers.

The solution is to pay more and expect more. if the staff is making another fifty percent a month, then they get paid another fifty percent a month. hearing this, they will complain, claiming four pages of work and waiting, due to some unknown form of pride or sloth or something, they get called back. if the sales alone was to phone around and get involved, they could easily double the work load of the business, thereby making it double it's profits, leaving more for everyone. they of course will say i do not know what they go through and make a terrible salesperson, but, aren't the business owners reading this buying what i got? so, with the right attitude, you could all make more money for yourselves, earn days off maybe, and otherwise become a happier person, as, boredom is the worst form of stress, i promise you.

So, if the business wants to make more money, they need simply to pick up the yellow pages and look for potential customers, remembering the more customers they get, the better prices they can offer, and the more the business will grow.

Back to 'wages.' this could easily be factored in by increasing the income of the business, and instead of buying ten new machines and ten new staff to operate them, due to labor laws, buy ten new machines and employ three more staff, yes? bet the workers are bored too, but you have met your quotas for this undertaking.

Of course, they, as business owners and staff with options open to them - as they can make a deal with anybody willing to make a deal - they can go to banks and offer them to keep the business's money, and, maybe a sum they decide on, as surety they will stay with the bank, making ways to make great deals with the bank, where they may lend more for expansion, and then hire more staff. if this was written into law - that any business legally proven to expand, maybe at a small claims court? - would be entitled to pay less taxes or something for a few months?

There is a global problem with farming, where the productivity needs to be upped or, at least in my country, farm owners will not be able to afford to make a profit. the farms are worked by workers which take up hardly any money though, as their wages are so low, but, there are a lot of them.

So, if they were to use music on them, but there are scientific claims that the plants lack a nervous system, so will not be able to relay these 'feelings' to a brain to make decisions. of course, if we were to observe that they do have nerves that are connected to one another - if you were to try to burn a plant, it will shrivel away from the flames - then we must know there are reactions at work in the plant.

If we were to observe that, then we could observe that they could be stimulated to double yields each year, if we were to find a way to double growth of the plants. this could be done by observing that the fuels the plants most seek are air and water, yes? By changing the chemical makeup of the water - maybe combining water to contain more oxygen than hydrogen, thereby making a new 'fluid,' we could have h4o, of course. this air would in the water is what the plats needs to grow, as if it is 2h4o it might split into two separate water drops.

Alternatively, we could put the plants on 'a drip' where we inject the water into the plant, to maybe boost fuels for growth by fifty percent more or less. that would mean that the excess water will mainly be wasted, yet the plants, if they get used to this, and they should, will simply grow bigger and faster, yes?

The music that should be played should be put onto a frequency where the plants will interpret it as being 'exciting.' if we look at other forms of excitement, they come from friction, so, if the music or sounds were to encourage friction of plant cells, something i suppose would be like 'fast, up beat dance music,' then they would become excited. notice how all pants have hairs on the petals where the fruit grows? these hairs are nerves, of course, and they may be stimulated to grow bigger fruit, as, the farm yields are sold by the kilogram, of course.

There is a law in tunisia where they say that the a rapist may escape prosecution if they marry the victim. obviously, this is supposed to help the woman, as she will be supported by the man that raped her, and, potentially caused her much anguish - being held by the one that hurts you is a good way to find self worth once more.

But let's say the woman hates the man? if she was to want to be supported financially, this option is open to her, but, due to the way these cities and cultures often work, she may be pressured to marry the man even by her family. when someone is raped, they often speak about it, drawing attention to themselves, brining much 'serious' family work to 'the fore.' this means that he may say he loves her or something and then marry her - why would she want to marry someone that rapes people? this is evidence of immoral behavior, as, this is where the will of one is respected over the will of another. that is rape, sexual assault, of course.

If the rapist was to want to make things right, or, help the victim in some way, as in the really backward african countries, as in most places, the rapist is known to the woman. this signifies friendship, and, due t some embarrassment by the male, they often force for the conclusion of the affair they had in mind. if the woman gets a sexual disease, that is no problem, pregnancy is also not a problem, yet the trauma is. let us discuss the trauma?

When someone is assaulted, they will feel afraid of the outside world, as would anybody. if the woman is stressed by the ordeal, then she should make it public, as it is a case of her being a victim, which, in society, shows needs for society to intervene, and, many do. this is a good way to make new friends, and, gain support from the community to look after her while she is recovering.

So, when a rapist offers to marry a victim, they could actually say yes, and, then be looked after for a time. many women get raped without even calling it rape, when they are married to a man, he may force sex out of her - this is also rape, yes? of course, if they were to observe the golden rule of mine - is food on the table - as it often is not, then she will have to admit she has the physical things she needs while the man is after a fantasy of his, yes? this fantasy would always be premeditated, and, then there would have to be familiarity with the woman, fantasies played out while day dreaming, yes?

Now, if the rapist was to be fined, then it would be a case of financial support, like marriage, while the woman is free to live her life. the problem is, nobody wants to marry a rape victim, so this may be a great opportunity for her to have a normal life instead of being a 'social outsider.' where there can be no cure, this is the closest thing we can have.
