Take for example Germany. In Germany it was decided to lower wages and work costs to lower production costs. Now Germany produces so cheap and efficient, that other countries especially in Eu cannot compete anymore. What happens is if they cannot compete, they cannot sell their products, they don't get money, so they cant buy German products. What happened next we gave them credit, so that they can buy our products again. But then after a while they, what a surprise, could not pay back their loans. Now they defaulted on their loans but this would destroy the banks in Germany and harm the rich people that borrowed the money, so the German state decided to bail out with tax money the other Eu countries so that the German banks do not go bankrupt.
So funny, in short the German workers got less salary / work rewards and in the end they had to pay on top of that more taxes to bail out other nations, so that they can afford to buy their products with the taxes they pay on their already reduced salary, so that few rich get more rich?
Also the interest system is funny. Other nations now have to pay tons of interest while Germany pays nearly no interest, so that the German state can borrow money and lend it to other nations, so that they can buy German products again....
In US they export mainly their money and high tech and cheap products that where produced through massively damaging the environment. With inflating the money supply in trillions, they then use that to buy products, especially resources from other nations. On top of that they charge interest for borrowing their out of nothing generated money and then enforce one sided market openings on countries that are not able to pay the interest. On top that they support corrupt elites and dictatorships that exploit their own country. Also they reduce production prices through massively polluting the environment and dump these products on other markets which they enforced through their loans and military to open one sided their market. Not to speak with their military enforced neo colonialism...
Right, I can not agree more with you on everything you describe. However, you are seeing the same thing as me, the problem is the financial mafia and the corporatocracy. The problem of current poverty, and all derivatives, are the consequence of a corrupt financial system, that's why I see the UBI simply as a patch, an adhesive strip, and not as a real solution, since it is necessary to make a surgery to the financial system, so that the economy does not generate all these problems that you describe.
