Chances are, somewhere along the path of life you have heard the phrase:
In life, you can’t take out more than you put in.
Heck, they even teach it in Kindergarten these days – the other day I heard my 5-year-old say:
Mom, Sam is being a bucket-dipper!
And when I did a double-take, I couldn’t help but think: “They are actually teaching 5-year-olds the concept that there are buckets in life and you have to put stuff into the bucket before you take stuff out — and not only that, but that once you start taking stuff out, you can’t take out more than you put in.”
And as a result of this momentary outburst by a 5-year-old, an idea was hatched.
One that is combined with the concept of “free markets are always better than benevolent dictators” (not everyone agrees with that one including one smart guy I know) that… just. may. work.
And so it goes.
Another project is born.
One where the participants can’t take out more than they put in and is governed by the rules of a free market.
I wonder if it will catch on.
