In this Economic Update, it describes how the country of Norway (less than 7 million population: .1% of world population) took revenues from oil profits and invested in the stock market. Clearly this is a responsible way for a government to handle money. They have earned so far roughly $1 trillion which is over $140,000 for every man woman and child. What could this mean. Without diminishing the principal, they could pay a UBI/UBD of $100 per month for every person in the country. This would be a true dividend which although not very much would be sufficient to cover $3.00 per day (possibly 1 meal each day) for everyone. There is an expression that I like to use:
A rising tide raises all ships!
If you can improve the social conditions for everyone in a society there will be a synergy which will propel everyone higher.
