What roles does the poor play in the Economy?

[dothebeats]

Many people think that poor people are the biggest problem, but we have to understand that without poor people there would be no life, no one would want to grow food crops, no one would want to work as a driver delivering groceries, no one would who want to sell food so that there will be no food on the dinner table, the poor have an important role in life.

That's life, everyone will need each other in various ways so that rich people who already have lots of factories and agricultural land will still need poor people to be employed there. And it is also very suitable for those who are poor because they are in need of a job to be able to survive longer, so needing each other like this is what makes balance in life always exist and be maintained. But if one day the rich are able to use other tools such as robots, for example, perhaps the poor will no longer be used by the rich or factory and company owners. Except for only a few as operator officers.

I agree. It will seem like there is balance as both sides need each other to function but in reality, the rich will soon be able to function without the poor as their employees. The rich will only get richer, and it does not matter if the poor is included in their business as employees or not. And the poor? Well once that happens, they need to work harder and make do.

We are all very important at one point or the other and everyone cannot be rich at the same time, we need to identify the uniqueness of man labour in the aspect of work production and organization of labour in every country's economy, the rich people also depends on the poor to help them engaged in manual labor otherwise known as work force or man power in certain situations, they depends on what they locally produced as well for their own survival because the rich can afford to buy them, all these ensure the circulation of resources across the economy and those that depends on this for their survival shouldn't be regarded as poor but labour force under organizational settings.

What the hell are you talking about? You're clearly saying that if there's a few poor people, we should just leave them in abject poverty. Didn't you read the last part of my post? I'll highlight it, see what part there did I talk about giving everything in silver platter to the poor people. Well, yes you don't blame for no reason but if someone is clearly not helping the people when it's their responsibility, will you just stand by and be neutral? Remember who's on the deepest part of hell?

Asking for accountability isn't blaming, people like you are brainwashed so when someone complains about something wrong in the system, you fight those who questions the system instead of joining them.

Does anyone forbid the poor from accessing basic needs? If you know you're poor, why don't you find a way to rise up, but expect and need help from others? Have you ever asked the question, why are your friends and people around you rich and you poor? It seems that you always like to blame others if you are poor or fail.

Yes, it's a mistake because you have a myopic perspective on things as do I in this context. I didn't generalize that all farmers are poor but that's where you went. It's a matter of perspective I guess, you haven't seen or heard of farmers drowning in debt from paying their fertilizers and having their crops underpaid by the markets that they have no choice but to sell there, or the farmers who got massacred because they asked for a piece of land that they've been promised if they work on it. So yeah, not all farmers are poor and not all farmers rich. Are you also saying that there shouldn't be equal opportunity for everyone at the start in the last part of the sentence? And yeah, what made you think that an equal structure in hierarchy will lead to a collapse? Is there an empirical evidence of that?

Farming or raising livestock is like business, it needs to be calculated carefully because the future is unpredictable. If the crops fail, or we have to sell cheaply and lose money, it's largely our fault because we didn't make careful calculations. Like if you lost your business, would you blame others for not buying from you?
My family is a farming family and I understand what you're saying, but my family has never blamed anyone if the crops didn't go as planned. Instead, my family will find a way to fix the next crop instead of blaming the weather or the government.

You seem to just want to put all the blame on the government, on other people when you live in poverty. Your life is yours to decide, no one can decide for you, so instead of stopping blaming, you should find a way out of it.
