What to do with poverty — sustainable community ecosystems

Health as an economic value

I believe that people will always have something to worry about, but about poverty, food or rent... not anymore.

There are many convenient explanations that describe the causes of poverty, the most famous are: because they are lazy, because it is their fault to be poor, and the poor are poor because they want to. Clearly all these descriptions lack of information, experience and above all empathy. In this Post, I am going to refer specifically to the situation in my country Mexico, because here is the best place to start the business model to which I am going to invite you.

In sustainable economic logistics I am looking for 5 investors to be shareholders of my EQÜIDAD ESG corporation. Our business model is the coverage of basic human needs through its PATENT the universal basic employment. This Work is about committing to maintaining a healthy physical condition with responsible consumption as a Sustainable Citizen. Our goal is to end poverty in a profitable manner by creating a sustainable and permanent economic system based on health, shielded against financial, sanitary and climate crises and in conjunction with the UN's sustainable development goals and our labor commitment to health and the environment, is that I present this business vision with the EQÜIDAD ESG.

It begins by offering the most vulnerable population to work in the universal basic employment, making it clear that it's a job, not charity. Why should they accept it? In our point of view, it is the most efficient way out of poverty. Poverty is the waste of the economic system based on production that has existed for all times. This system conditions people to work to gain their food which is basically slavery, forcing them to compete with each other, unequally, leaving the losers in a state of vulnerability. Poverty is also used as a tool to spread hate, discrimination and above all, fear of feeling vulnerable. In Latin America, this condition of vulnerability is taken advantage of by malicious political practices to control the needs of the population in exchange for favors or conditions, and all this happens because there is no other way to cover our basic needs except through production.

It is obvious that the philosophy towards poverty of an economic system based on production is that it is your responsibility to avoid it or get out of it. However, it does not take into account that for a person to get out of extreme poverty, they first need to obtain the nutrients, education and experience to achieve the thinking and the will to decide “I can do it”. There are also those who declare that the fear of poverty encourages personal development, but not necessarily ethical or moral. The 2% who manage to get out of poverty depend on the circumstances, there are those who receive help from people with good intentions, but there are also others with very bad intentions who take advantage of their vulnerability. In any case, who wouldn't want to get out of poverty?

What is the difference between a poor person and a person in extreme poverty?

The income of a poor person is not enough to meet one of his basic needs. And a person is in extreme poverty when he cannot satisfy several of her basic vital needs.

In Mexico there are 21 million people in extreme poverty, and another 52 million poor people who live below the minimum income for survival, as reported by CONEVAL (National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy) who is in charge of measuring the indices poverty in Mexico and, due to the pandemic, the level of poverty increases. Unfortunately, the malicious political practices of this country manipulate information on this issue, making it worse than it seems. Still, it is a large market for our business model.

From our point of view, to achieve a sustainable economy in Mexico, we see that we foolishly try to educate the wrong people and put the responsibility on the worst people. In an economic system based on production, exploitation and malicious political practices, people depend on consumerism to generate income and maintain their lifestyle regardless of the means they use to obtain it, these are not the right people for decision making on sustainability. A sustainable system begins by assuming responsibilities and eliminate poverty in order to provide, in equity, the same conditions for personal, ethical and moral development, without people feeling vulnerable for not be able to cover their vital needs. In extreme poverty are the right people and the business opportunity. Who wouldn't want to get out of poverty?

I believe that we will all die of something, but not from hunger or cold.

It's easier to be resilient in the right conditions. Any adversity can be overcome knowing that we have our basic needs covered, everything else is a matter of the process of acceptance and will. In this business model, people in extreme poverty will not only stop being so from one day to the next, but also, with the opportunity to have a worry-free process and dedicate their time to recovery, healing and the search for the inspiration.

How do we solve poverty by making profits?

With private investment there is nothing can stop us. According to the World Bank, a person in extreme poverty lives on less than $ 1.90 a day. With universal basic employment, each sustainable citizen lives on $ 566 MXN per day (approximately $ 850 US per month depending on the exchange rate).

Neither the world bank, nor capitalism, nor socialism, nor communism, or any economic system based on production has the responsibility or obligation to solve poverty. And this is our business case entry strategy. That is why the EQÜIDAD ESG presents this business and economic model based on health to make the coverage of basic human needs a profitable and sustainable industry, expanding our economy to new ways of generating income solving poverty, inequality and the climate crisis. It basically represents the utopia of all the people who want it the most, starting with those who have the least opportunity, and for that, you also have to know how and where to start. Here's the business opportunity.

This is the point where we convert charitable actions into business investments. Instead of helping people to get out of poverty by conditioning to produce, what we will do is create community ecosystems that transform poverty into sustainable, healthy, conscious and profitable well-being, by giving health an economic value through Universal Basic Employment. This job means to maintain a healthy body mass index and blood chemistry as a job description in exchange for the coverage of all basic human needs, such as, food, rent, education, security and social insurance guaranteeing a full life experience. We'll make sure that all employees, in an equitable way and according to the interests of each one, have the same conditions and the same tools to live great experiences, expand their lifestyle or simply remain a sustainable citizen for their entire life, without worry about food and without putting our resources or that of the next generations at risk.

With this Job, our employees agree to literally become a human currency which covers the cost of maintenance and operation plus a profit margin for the infrastructure created to cover basic human needs, and by the trust placed in the value of health for be exchangeable for products, services, goods and life experiences. In this way, all employees will have access to their basic needs while working in a job that contributes to the solution of the world problems, as the climate crisis, consumerism, health mainly, etc., starting with 70 families of 4 members with children under 12 years old in extreme poverty condition and start generating profits from day one.

How does our business model work?

Each person in the universal basic employment has an approximate value of $ 20,000 Mexican pesos, that is $ 1000 US dollars according to the exchange rate. This value covers the cost of basic human needs. Each person has the ability to decide what product or service they want to spend their money on. It is only the rent and housing expenses that are paid automatically. For this reason, our business model offers the acquisition of a home-school housing from our community ecosystems, with which you will receive 15% annual profit on the investment amount for 50 years, that is, for every $ 1 MXN invested, you will receive a profit of $ 7.5 UBe's (electronic currency) at the end of your contract with the reinvestment option in UBe's, apart from other business opportunities inside and outside ecosystems, such as food production, distribution channel, treatment of deciduous and energy, products of first need, educational platforms, etc.

It is a job, NOT charity.

Life is a personal experience, begin basic, begin with a personal commitment. As this is a job, people have the freedom to decide to be or not to be a Sustainable Citizen to cover their basic needs, health is the means for everyone to obtain them.

In this job, expanding our lifestyle means that through any other production-based employment, people can obtain the economic resources to acquire goods and / or experiences that the universal basic employment does not cover.

No matter what health condition people are in when they accept the universal basic job, reaching the healthy goal is part of the process. How do you imagine it is to maintain a healthy BMI and blood chemistry in the universal basic employment?

In summary: With this business model, in less than we expected we will have eliminated the condition of vulnerability in all its aspects, we'll have generated a sustainable and permanent economic base and we'll have educated both, sustainable citizens and people who have not yet entered universal basic employment on how to lead a healthy and responsible consumption lifestyle.

And finally, the objective of our EQÜIDAD ESG is to make all our employees aware of the reality in which we are living, why we are doing this, and that, through commitment, empathy and compassion we contribute to the solution.
