We care about the economy, but we can't change its direction

[tottong]

But does this mean we’re truly powerless? Do you think there are ways we can influence the economy, even if just on a small scale? Or are we simply left to protect ourselves and make adjustments within this system?

Everyone will be helpless if they think they are helpless and even though they cannot change the direction of economic policy, we can still try to improve adjustments for the better. Money will not come by itself and money will not become more if we do not try to find a way so there needs to be a plan for the problem.
The way that can be done to influence the economy individually for the better because on a larger scale it is not our responsibility in the current conditions.

What we do determines the direction of finances and when talking individually our job is only to improve our ability to make money, not to change or influence the economy in general.
That is the job of people who have the ability to make money as a group and maybe they have a company because there are people working in it.

The best we can do is just support our local businesses.

This makes the community withstand any economic challenges since the money goes in cycle only within the community. This also creates more job in the community and allows for more innovation locally. While this will not change the economy completely, it is still a way to get a hold of some control at least within our communities.

As long as any company is producing something the masses treasured they would certainly have the power to influence the economy because if there is any little increase or lack of the product it becomes a challenge to the masses, so actually that's the reason why it looks as if most companies has an influence on a country economy especially those countries who depend on the private companies for production of some certain items, also is not like the ordinary people is powerless or does not have ideas to fight bad economy of any country but the problem is only if the government will give a listening ear to an ordinary individual.

Well the truth is that every country knows how to stop there economical challenge but the problem is if they are ready to fixed it because let's take for instance if the lack of a particular products is the major problem, is the obligation of the government to invest or hiring the right professionals that should be producing it withing the country in other to make itavailable for consumption, though individuals also plays a role on every economy such as those who have medium businesses that compromises of workers is also another of way of reducing unemployment citizens.

It's also quite difficult to fix something that you do not want to fix without giving too much power away as well. I mean if you take very little tax for just one year, everyone will get better, but at the same time people will want more of that when they see how awesome it was, then how are you going to pay for stuff as government if there are no more taxes. The reality is that we are talking about a world where it is going to be very tough for anyone to survive even with a great economy because we are wired to ruing it.

If you give everyone a lot of money and I mean like an utopia where it doesn't even cause inflation, then you are going to realize that the gap will be opened again and some will be rich while others will be poor, it never stops. So we should only focus on one thing, make sure that people can get shelter, food, health, education (and cops firefighters etc) for free, if they can get that and do that, then rest will be just difference and nothing more.

In an economic situation that is far from good, as individuals, there is not much we can do, let alone help others, sometimes it is difficult to meet all our personal needs, and with this I think of course if you are in a difficult economic situation then the main thing you should prioritize is to help yourself in various ways that you can such as looking for a side job or other things that can make money.

But if it turns out that the impact of the economic crisis does not cause too many problems in your personal life and family for some reason such as you are an entrepreneur who has several businesses then you can think about the fate of others who are less fortunate by opening small jobs with minimum wages, although it cannot fully affect the economic situation in your country as a whole but at least you can ease the burden on some people, helping 10 out of 100 people to stay alive is much better than not at all.

In the bigger picture and collective sphere we are powerless, but we can make the difference in our personal lives and that is where you should focus your efforts. Invest in yourself, develop yourself and you will be impacting the ones around you positively. That is everything you should care about. You aren't going to change or save the world from its own mediocrity, so try to save yourself and the ones who you love and care for mutually.

If everyone thought like that, the small scale would turn into a big one, affecting the whole society in all its levels positively. The problem is that we are used to get too worried about society and collective causes that we forget and lack time of taking care what is on our reach.

In the end, the ones who rule the world want to make you believe you truly have power to influence changes in the world (of course, when attending their personal interests), but at same time they also want you to neglect and forget about being powerful inside your personal existential sphere. The latter should be your goal, because the first means slavery...

With the economy going now, the inflation is increasing, and you as an individual cannot do anything about it. The government controls many things, especially things that led to the economy's collapse to this extent, all because of bad governance, and we the citizens can’t do anything about it. So you, as a citizen, just make sure, regardless of how the economy will be, you are trying your possible best to meet your necessary needs, taking care of yourself, your family, and the people around you. That is the solution because nothing you can do about the current situation of the economy as an individual is left for the government.

I feel like we can't do anything about inflation and only thing we can do is try to keep our income growing bigger than the inflation. So if this year there is a 10% inflation, then your income should grow 10%+ this year, if we can do that then we are going to end up with a lot better result and it would be a good thing, that would be a great thing.

We should definitely see this changing with time but as long as we can do something like this it shouldn't be a big issue. Just get higher than inflation and it would be good and it would be a good thing. If you are making a lower than inflation that would be something that would take a while. I think it's clear that we are going to see this changing and we can't really consider this as anything we can do, it's about how we can only deal with what we have instead.

That's right, bro, complete authority lies with the government, we just have to follow all the directions from the government, we want to improve the current economy but we don't have the authority to do that, so what we have to do now is maintain the economy of our respective families, continue to do as best as possible to protect our respective families, in this way we have saved our families first, and by keeping our income stable and we set aside little by little for our needs when unexpected things happen.

Almost everyone is concerned about the economy: prices, housing, wages, stock market fluctuations… Yet, despite our intense focus on these issues, as ordinary individuals, it seems like we can't make a dent in them. Economic policies, global markets, and decisions made by big companies often dictate the direction of the economy, and we can only passively accept it.

But does this mean we’re truly powerless? Do you think there are ways we can influence the economy, even if just on a small scale? Or are we simply left to protect ourselves and make adjustments within this system?

Everyone has an important role in the economic order. It's just that the scale varies greatly from one person to another. There are people who can only move the economy on a small scale, such as for themselves or for their family and those closest to them. There are also people who can really move the economy on a large scale, such as people who have achieved great wealth. Those who own giant companies and so on. And actually, our small role also indirectly becomes one of the driving forces in the global economy, although not directly. Because basically the global economy is a collection of everything. So if we really care about better economic development for everyone, we must first focus on improving the economy within ourselves first. Because we will only be able to help more people if we have first achieved greater success than the other people we help. Those who currently have a big influence also come from ordinary people who started from zero. So I think everyone plays a role in their own way.
