Murphy and I just finished taking my old waterbed frame apart. I had a waterbed in my late teens and early twenties. It gives us more room. I'm not sure what exactly we're doing with the lumber, but it's perfectly good.
We paid the gas bill. We're just waiting for energy assistants. We also paid off the credit card. (Happy dance.) The riding lawn mower put a dent in our finances, but now we're on some better footing when it comes to money.
I talked to Sawyer last night. He and his wife Betty got divorced. They're being quite grown-up and civil about it.
Someone asked if they only did religious art during the Western Medieval Art. As I can see. It was mostly religious. But they did have secular art. But I noticed they didn't have much peasants' art base. My guess is that the church and royalty controlled the art.
Today's art is from the Pre-Romanesque movement, which lasted from 5th to 11th centuries.
Yesterday, I posted about how I think the word should work: THREE AND FOUR.. Now for parts five and six. During this period, Wiki-art only had one artist: ENDE.
Now, I think the world should be like this. I know this is only a pipe dream.
We need to be part of and expect to be part of our community or Kingdom. Being part of a kingdom involves responsibility. In the Kingdom, there will be renters, owners, and those who need aid.
Every Kingdom needs a community center. Every community offers a place for education, spiritual activities, physical activities—both indoor and outdoor—medical, dental, behavioral health, the arts, a library, a social area, and a kitchen with a place to eat.
The size of the population would depend on the size of the community center they want or need. No community would be without one.
There are always costs and upkeep costs involved in a community center.
It can be part of community volunteer time. In earlier writing, it was mentioned that everyone needs to do hours of monthly community service.
Now, for member fees, those under 18 are free.
Class A person's income is under $12,000 per year, which should be $60 a year for the head of the household and $6 a person.
Class B person income between $12,012 and 30,000 per year should pay $80 per year for head of household and $10 per person.
Class C persons with incomes between $30,012 and 72,000 per year should pay $110 a year for the head of household and $15 a person.
Class D persons earning between $72,001 and $120,000 per year should pay $150 a year for the head of household and $21 per person.
Class E people over $120,001 or more per year should pay $200 a year for the head of a household and $28 a person.
The fees above include one show or activity a year. Those who put in 10 hours a month will be able to add two extra activities or events per month.
Individual event or activity fees will be divided according to class and age. This includes the cost of meals in the dining area.
Class A fee is for those aged 6 and under $2, those aged 7 to 13 $3, those aged 14 to 20 $4, and those aged 21 to 70 $5. For those 71 and older, $3
Class B fees for ages 6 and under are $4, ages 7 to 13 $5, ages 14 to 20 $6, and ages 21 to 70 $7. For those 71 and older, $5
Class C fee for age 6 and under $6 age 7 to 13 $7, age 14 to 20 $8, age 21 to 70 $9. For those 71 and older, $7
Class D, free for ages 6 and under, is $8. age 7 to 13 $9, age 14 to 20 $10, age 21 to 70 $11. For those 71 and older, $9
Class E fee for ages 6 and under is $10; ages 7 to 13 $11; ages 14 to 20 $11; and ages 21 to 70 $13. For those 71 and older, $11
There also will be stores with food, non-food,
Cost of food: Every household would be allowed 40 pounds of food a month, 10 pounds per additional member. For non-food, a household will be 20 pounds worth per household and 5 pounds for extra persons.
More food than what is allowed will be purchased from the retail store of their choice.
Class A household with income under $1,000 per month should pay $20 a month, and each person additional person will pay $3
Class B households with income between $1,001 and $2,500 a month should pay $23 a month, and each additional person will pay $5
Class C households earning between $2,500 and $6,000 a month should pay $29 a month, and each additional person will pay $9 a month.
Class D households earning between $6001 and $10,000 a month should pay .$33 a month, and each additional person will pay $14 a month.
Class E people with incomes over $10,000 a month should pay $40 a month, and each additional person will pay $20 a month.
The community store will be like any other market, and people will have choices. These places will also be nicotine, alcohol, and drugs. The only way a person could lose their right to purchase nicotine or alcohol is if a medical or mental health professional or judge revolts against their right to buy these items.
A few side notes for the Kingdom: The food is served in the eating area. The same thing will be served daily. Healthy meals and something for those who have a sweet tooth are required.
We
all need human contact. Check out a person from the community center.
I would like to have a chance to learn and grow.
Each community
center has a park where one can find someone to visit with. They
cannot leave the park, but they will be under a person's checkout.
It
is hard to ask for help of any sort.
So, everyone will take their
turn having a person or family they check on to see if they are safe
or need anything.
It doesn't matter what income a person has;
every person is required to be a
visiting care person or family member.
A person will be required
to work 5 hours a month for 9 months every year. From age 21 to
death, a person will be required to help and serve another person.
Medical or mental reason with forms filled out by a medical or a
Psychiatrist.
Less than 5% of the population would not be
able to be in the friendship program.
The person one helps
would be picked at random. This way, there would be less likely to be
a division of economic class.
There are combinations of who one
might be with.
Coffee is on.
I remember those waterbeds
ReplyDeleteSorry about the divorce
ReplyDeleteSounds like you did make some progress. Aren't water beds really heavy when they are filled?
ReplyDelete...I have friends who still have their waterbed.
ReplyDeleteI’m enjoying the art history
ReplyDeleteYou have given a great deal of thought to your Utopian dream.
