Jumbo Loans: For all of your debts (#7 of 100 Chain Letters for Democracy)
If you could consolidate all your loans (car, cards, house, etc.) into a single, no- or low-interest loan, would you? Would you be willing to work fewer hours equal to the money saved? In other words, you would have the same buying power working fewer hours. Furthermore, would you like "profit-sharing" payback in which your wages are divided into two segments, cost-of-living and disposable income. With profit-sharing payback, half of the latter is paid to your jumbo loan lenders.
Benefits of TImism's (detailed in the websegment 24in4):
Refinancing loans as a solution to social and economic problems is not without historical precedence--see Re-Timing Debt
The proposed Timism mechanism of loan consolidation is already happening in many financial institutions: Freddie Mac(mortgages), Fannie Mae (mortgages) and Sally Mae(Student Loans). These government sponsored agencies buy up and consolidate loans.
One big difference between the latter three and Timism's re-timing of wage-earners loans is that the workers benefit rather those with money getting more money from workers without working a single minute. Consider the following from Google:
| "Freddie Mac (FMCC) stock offers high-risk, high-reward potential, with over 190% total shareholder return over the past year, despite operating under conservatorship since 2008. While common shares are volatile, recent 3-year returns exceed 2,000%, with investors betting on a potential release from government control and significant undervaluation." |
This is one example of why the rich get richer without a drop of sweat while workers have teardrops of unhappiness.
Why does this happen across the economic landscape? People are not organize in a manner proposed by Timism: brainbees and lifehours. The Ten Friends and CD-media page has been modified with a caveat: If no email forwading then no Timism account nor benefits, i.e., Jumbo loans as part of the promise. Some benefits will be limited to FIFO, e.g., disaster relief and vaccine access.
Those who benefit better democracy deserve the benefits of better democracy.
In the bigger sphere of the elephant in the room (Climate Hell), this proposal is an essential part of a soft landing to reverse climate change. Otherwise, societies around the world are pressure-cookers with individuals and groups turning to crime and terror. Please forward to Ten Friends and CC-media.
