Monetizing essentials
Index note essentials-supporting companies survive
Same thing can be used as a weapon of war, and means of harmony.
observation and thinking of world
World, (i.e. this Earth), consists of people, animals , plants, microbes. One of them, ofc, the human, it trades, sees benefit in trading of goods and services, and that favor nowadays is measured by money. Survival requires shelter (from environmental factors), security (from wild attackers), food (for energy), water (for bodyfluids), air (for producing energy from food along inside cell), and so on. Monetizing the survival essentials is a strategy for providing essential such as food for money. Its a necessary thing in todays world, but since those things are cheaper, the cost of experience has increased.
Modern day society, and in past, the commodity of food, security, etc has been monetized (i.e. measured favors), naturally, there have been called farmers and food producers feeding energy to humankind. And so the capability to survive independently of the system has reduced, or become impossible.
Money for any essential goods has become uncountable towards other things, as one will essentially need to pay for essentials and remaining is the actual income, for one to be free. One may sacrifice the quality or experience of certain essential to enable more money for other experiences. While one may acquire more of the money because of their deeds.
Everyone needs essentials, one cannot live without essential, thats why they are called essentials. Although depending on beliefs or mindset, set of essentials can vary to a person, as by itself the mindset makes it a different kind of person.
For a new company to be formed, it can flourish if its an essential supporting company, i.e. it provides essentials, based on affordability and based on if that income survives the company. Company has things which require maintenance, that maintenance things require money to afford, and hence company needs money. Otherwise, an ideal unbreakable production system does not require any maintenance, a system which is breaking requires maintenance which requires some form of income for it to keep its system same. Improvements can incur one time investment costs, and maintenance incurs repeated costs based on their use.
For example food, clothing, shelter, clean water, heat in cold regions, are services and goods which will always be required
Every country can be seen as one person, growing its own food, earning and spending on imported goods and services, trade and sell its own goods and services, while circulating its internal money within, which accommodates to GDP as indicator of registered money activity.
