The benefits of Open money (OM) in simple words

Most of the articles describing the OM system are devoted to the same proposals and general conclusions. However, they are most understandable to those who have experience in a particular activity where a particular OM proposal or feature would be useful. Let’s consider the main ones.

Publicity of contracts

The publicity of contracts in OM will allow you to trust each other, minimizing the risks of their non-execution. The benefit of being able to trust and be sure that the contract will be fulfilled one way or another will be clear to a person who negotiated something with someone unknown and was deceived or was never able to achieve the performance of the contract. A person from the outside will say that for all this there is an agreement, the failure of which entails a trial. But for such a person, without the experience of real interaction, it will not be clear how easily and without loss it will be possible to use the court or other state instrument of justice. The experience of small transactions will tell you that all these tools in terms of time and effort can exceed the positive outcome of a court decision. Taken together, the riskiness of such small agreements leads to the fact that they are not made, from which both small businesses and part of society suffer, first of all, that they waste time and effort on all such proceedings, at the moment when dishonest things happen on the other side. competition, in which it is much easier for large players who can afford to sue. WITHIt is worth noting that the institutions of justice will never offer solutions that help, if possible, to eliminate the very need for them. 

Personal responsibility

In the OM system, personal income is completely dependent on the actions of the user. Economically, we can say that the system creates a near-ideal form of a free market.  It has been said many times since Adam Smith that society is best able to take care of itself without the active intervention of the state. And yet, in practice, this is not so obvious, especially for people in the public service and support. Moreover, some of these people may understand the futility of their work in public office, which is aimed only at maintaining a certain tradition, which has become a ritual that has little connection with processes that are really useful for society. That kind of useless activities should be eradicated at the very root of it, shaping state institutions so that they first of all deal with the very cause of the problem, despite the fact that they deprive themselves of the very work associated with correcting this problem.

Respect for nature

The benefits of caring for nature are important for anyone thinking about the future. Someone may not want to continue their offspring, someone may be a criminal, perhaps killing people for their own benefit, etc. I want to say that people can have different values. And yet, I believe it is necessary to somehow influence them, and specifically to convince any person to take care of nature, in the same way as to comply with any law that violates human rights. Of course, for this it is necessary to create such conditions, the observance of which would not be a burden, as it is now. Since producers are forced to compete for profit in an environment where the majority turn a blind eye to respect for nature. Unlike humans, the environment suffers silently. She herself cannot be a plaintiff in court, someone in power must stand up for her defense in the same way as he would defend his own right to life, and not be paid with bribes and fines. After all, almost no one would exchange their own life and health for money.

healthy eating

The benefits of a healthy diet are clear to anyone who is no longer a child and has some experience in choosing their own food, living environment, etc. With age, the value of healthy foods is somehow reflected in a person. Medicine and nutrition in this sense, like ecology, should not work to justify what manufacturers offer in order to reduce the cost of production, for example, various kinds of preservatives, margarines, and so on. But to defend the position of a healthy diet from natural products grown naturally on the ground, and not on water with substrates. Again, we must not change our health, and therefore our economy must be rebuilt from profit to health.

Medicine

The benefits of medicine, education and other things that are in the hands of the state would be greater if people had more control and influence on how all this is implemented. Faced with any such activity from the inside, one finds many useless and even harmful processes that employees are forced to perform, much could be better organized, and so on. While the basis for such changes may be self-interest, above all management, which should be, as in any business, dependent on the opinions or even better the results of the client. To track these results, honest independent statistics are needed, which can also be organized in the open money  system.

General law

Least obvious to everyone is the position that it is best to take care of justice and the common good by the state, which depends on the will of the people. Perhaps because the majority often talks about the stupidity of the majority. However, such stupidity, in my opinion, stems from the above reasons, and above all the fact that a person does not live by his own labor. Here it is also necessary to separate the actions of a person who is forced to survive in given conditions, and how he would like it to be. Let’s imagine situations when a person needs to stock up on firewood for the winter, if he sees that everyone is trying to stock up as much as possible, cutting down all the trees, then he will act the same way, cutting down the forest together with everyone clean. But if he sees that everyone is stocking up on timber exactly as much as they need, then he can safely do the same. So, I suppose that everyone (at least in his thoughts) has such a measure and is always ready to support it so that it becomes a general law, even if he himself violates this law.

In general, I would like to summarize that in many respects the OM system does not change existing laws and ideas about how the state should work, all these views have long been developed and generalized. The OM system allows them to be effectively and fully implemented, including the principles of democracy, the free market and everything that should be implemented by a modern state anyway.
