AI. It's taking away our jobs. The AI-driven economy is serving fewer and fewer people. More are becoming homeless. More are left food insecure. Parents are having to decide between paying the AC in 120 degree temperatures and feeding their children. The examples of why we need to give are practically endless.

 

​It shouldn't be this way. People shouldn't be reliant on government handouts - using cards without hearts to get what they need. Rather, people - with warmth and smiles - should be giving and helping their neighbors.​

 

We need a deliberate transition to a giving economy — much like our shift to electric vehicles — to prevent widespread decline in quality of life and growing suffering for millions. As we grow this society that fosters giving, more people will wake up to the reality that their basic needs are secure. They'll stop hoarding out of the fear of an uncertain or insecure future. More and more will become willing to let go of excess wealth and share with those who need help meeting their basic needs.

 

Accelerating Money & Dignity

 

Economists might worry that reducing spending on necessities would cripple the economy. The opposite is true. Imagine a world where voluntary giving ensures everyone has free, nutritious food and other essentials. The money formerly spent on those basics would flow into exciting new goods and services produced by our newly emerging AI economy — incredible experiences, creativity, innovation, and luxuries we can barely imagine today. Consumer spending wouldn’t shrink; it would simply shift upward in a way that greatly benefits investors as well. As we accelerate dignity by providing for the basic needs of people, it will free up capital - thus speeding up the velocity of money - accelerating money.

 

​Hearts, Not Handouts

​

The hard truth emerging in 2026 is that governments, corporations, and traditional organizations aren't stepping up. They're naively looking after what they see as their best interest - doing next to nothing for the little guy - not realizing that it's the very thing that would likely help the economy the most.

 

The responsibility falls to us — the people. A giving economy isn’t about getting everything for free or expecting endless handouts. It’s the opposite: it’s about those who have more than their basic needs met choosing to give generously so that everyone’s are. We rise above through voluntary generosity - not entitlement or coercion.

 

Real change will come when we give freely, from the heart. Instead of impersonal welfare cards or bureaucratic systems, direct giving restores the human connections we’ve lost in modern life. We remember our interdependence. We rebuild trust. A deeply human element re-emerges that no policy can manufacture. We change people's lives with hearts, not handouts.

 

We Cannot Stay Idle

 

We cannot let this pivotal moment pass without creating a new reality — one where humanity is restored.. The costs of inaction are too great, and the urgency cannot be overstated.​

 

We don’t need to swing toward Communism, Socialism, or an expanded welfare state. We need something simpler and more powerful: a giving economy built on voluntary generosity — where we give, not just receive.

 

The future is coming fast. The choice is ours. Let's come together and give to fulfill each other's basic needs.
