RE: Steemit Basic Income Giveaway (Rules and Laws)

in #newbiegames6 years ago

Interesting question... Most of the rules should be concrete, there are those that are obsolete or just stupid but that is because laws do not change over time as much as they should and nobody really cares. It also depends on where you are living, some countries are really scary when it comes to rules and some, not so much. In my country, we have good rules and laws but there are problems with reinforcing them and our justice system is sadly a joke. I do have hope, however, that it will get better. Happy thoughts, happy thoughts, happy thoughts....

Haha, yes... happy thoughts... it could be much worse!

I agree that laws should be concrete at the time of application, but must need to evolve over time. Generally the only way to do this effectively (I think) is via the testing of them in the courts... which (whilst being a great idea in theory) is generally out of the reach of the ordinary person, both in time and money. Of course, all of this assumes an otherwise un-corrupted and well functioning accountability mechanisms.. which might not be the case!

On the other hand, like I said at the start... it could be much much worse (but that shouldn't excuse us from trying to find better ways!).
