RE: A Day in the Life of a Royal Flying Doctor
Another amazing article :)
Amazingly here in Europe we know little to none about Australia's services or policies. I do know everything about the natural beauty and millions of places from documentaries but nothing about services.
Imagine my shock when I saw a BBC Money documentary that showed a crying old couple trying to minimize the use of electricity due to its cost and scarcity. And the Energy Minister or whoever that was that was cornered by the reporter for doing nothing.
We have a lot of work to do in the coming year if we are to progress the human development. Starting with mentality and with volunteering more and helping others. I am trying to set up a project which I hope will take off next week. Maybe others can learn from it.
Hey man! You're right, Australia is definitely a country with problems. We've got a huge gap between the rich and the poor, and because of a trick the Liberals (the name for our conservative government) did to reduce the taxes payed by people who own more than ONCE property, property prices are insane. As such people on lower incomes are forced out of cities to rural areas where housing may be cheaper but everything else is more expensive!
Keep me posted about your project mate! I'm working closely alongside Voice of Health here on steemit and I know the guys IRL too, they're always looking for more stories and input so keep us poster :)
I have posted something and I will have more for you in the next few weeks. Trying to take Steemit to the poor retired teachers or engineers that the state neglected and which are living with 150$ per month. Then use their time (which we clearly don't have) and expertise ( they are qualified but forgotten by the system) to spread Steemit and reach even to the rural areas where the majority lives with NO income or only social support ( which is small considering it's an Eastern Europe country ). Well this is my life project laid out :D
Or maybe I am just naive :)
Haha nah mate I've got faith! Sounds like an awesome project, and good luck with it all. There's so much knowledge out there that's just neglected!
