if you had a business model the farm would be
profitable, every body gets a share of the
profit one way or another. you could offer incentives, like traveling the world and other parts of the country. being locked into a community seems like it is a disadvantage to anyone wanting to see the world. shouldn't it be embraced, i mean after all permanent culture is what we're all about. seeing and experiencing other cultures is something we want our kids to pursue.
if the community had separate enterprises, and separate leaders in those skill sets, we could learn from each other and still have the ability to be apart of something bigger.
i know that this is happening around communities at the moment, but how much is going back into communal events, holidays, travel, education.
this is a quote from another
thread that i thought is appropriate in this regard.
"would i be crazy in thinking that we could just reward everyone else. i know in the larger communities it would be more difficult. but what if you rewarded people for exceptional behavior. I was thinking since the community would be so profitable there would be no reason the farm couldn't own holiday houses around the world and offer holidays for families. i'm sure everyone needs to get away every now and then. is this type of thing offered in communities at the moment? you could offer point based reward systems... you offer higher points for the shitty and important jobs and smaller points for fun filled activities.
i'm just using this as one example but there are many more "
i'm just not sure why this important factor is consistently looked over? is it not viable?
