The One Day Strike - By Moses

The One Day Strike
By Moses

It was January 5th 2009, and every business, Government office, and trade venue closed for 24 hours in every Country in the World.
The United Nations calculated the entire worldwide population to be worth $30 U.S/ Head. This meant that the total amount of donations to be $180 Billion U.S.
This treaty had been announced 1 year prior, and with this success of money making, poured donations to Fifth World Nations. The promotion was called ‘Feed the Poor’, and with its success came a Mandate from Fifth World Nations to distribute the donations equally to each ‘Poor Nation’, indiscriminate of size (geographical or by population).
This idealism caught fire. U2 played alongside B.B King and Buddy Guy in a free blues concert for the masses the following week. Major League Baseball, the NFL, the NBA, the NHL, and FIFA each donated their revenues for 1 game of each team. Before long the donation amount exceeded 1.8 Trillion U.S Dollars.
The question as to why it hadn’t happened sooner was never asked. The answer to this question was simply ‘It Happened’.

Donations

Six Billion people just donated 1 Cent U.S each to buy food for the poor. This translates into $60 Million U.S.
Six Billion people just donated 10 Cents U.S each to buy food for the poor. This translates into $600 Million U.S.
Why doesn’t the U.N Mandate this recourse?
Does anyone have an issue donating 10 Cents U.S / Month?
This would translate into $7.2 Billion U.S per year. Compounded monthly at 2% per, the interest alone would total $144 Million U.S each month, after the first year. At the end of the 2nd year the accumulated total of capital and interest would exceed $16.428 Billion U.S (or $16,428,000,000 U.S).

Humanitarian Efforts and Testament

In 1972, Roberto Clemente, as usual, finished his tenure as a ballplayer annually by buying medical supplies and flying with them to his native Country, Puerto Rico. His plane crashed and he died before his annual supplies reached there. It is efforts like these that inspire me.
In Ethiopia today the average life expectancy is 52 years of age and there are still those that are justifying this population control. If I had $1 Million in the bank I would buy $400,000 worth of food, water, and medical supplies for my dying brethren. As these are many peoples’ aspirations it leaves this writer wondering what most people tell them-selves before they go to bed in Million Dollar homes.
