We should have policies to make the poor less poor.
- stuaxo 5y agoThese are work really well for business too, unfortunately they are small local businesses, not the kind who have the ear of government.
- DudeInBasement 5y agoChina just lowered the threshold for poverty, bam 300M poverty free. What are you solutions?

- Finnucane 5y agoAnd we must make sure that lowest rung is firmly planted in the mud, right?
- Kim_Bruning 5y agoSo (for the sake of this story) I'm a bit taller than average, and still growing! It'd be more efficient if the rungs were adjustable. So I went to the hardware store and got a ladder with adjustable rungs. Then I adjusted the lowest rung up to make it a bit higher.
- jafo 5y agoYou still stepped on the lowest rung first, non? No matter how high it was off the ground, it was still the lowest rung and stepped on first. Wouldn't it be better if the ladder didn't have a lowest rung?
- Kim_Bruning 5y agoI think the metaphor may have broken down. I am curious though, can you tell me your line of thinking?
