Scott_Sabre Tooth Chapter 5
It all started with 1 fisherman
Too many fishermen at the fishing hole so 1 fisherman bought the rights to neighbors fishing hole for 5 fish/day for 1000 days.
Soon other fishermen did the same, and these men became fishing chiefs.
Jealousy
Tribal leaders saw that the same had to be done for the bears and antelopes huntingpic
Fishing as a business
Fishermen were catching so many fish they hired people to do the fishing for them paying adults 2 fish/day and children 1 fish/day.
Too many fish had to layoff workers.
Welfare!
Main chiefs created welfare for the unemployed by giving exclusive rights to make fish nets in his area if he brought in a pile of fish as tall as a man, all three accepted.
Family of 5 needed 5 fish, now only gets 1 ½ fish.
Antelope and bear chiefs were granted same rules as fish chiefs.
Soon long lines of unemployed waiting on rations grew longer and longer and then the surplus was to great and they all shut down production and waited for the rations to rot, and everyone was unemployed.
It's all about the economy!
Connections
No diversification in education
Leaders focused only on what businesses want, and afraid of change, let alone a paradigm shift.
We want change!
Tribesman wants to change the rules, and the union bosses didn’t like that and threatened him and he shut up.
Teacher wanted to tell the students what to think but you can only teach someone how to think not what to think.
How to get out of this mess?
Taxes were levied on antelope, bear and fish.
