Organized as an international charity, this could provide an important way in which workers in the global North could show support for their brothers and sisters in the global South.

Your idea is excellent. But you may need to label it something other than "charity", lest you be accused of supporting feudalism.

For myself, I happen to believe that charity and solidarity are two sides of the same coin.

Truth unfolds in time through a communal process.

Call it an Insurance Company. Insurance gets all kinds of breaks on their investment income. Organize as an LLP and Bob's your uncle.

Bob's your uncle (none / 1)

I do. I have also passed on to my daughters my home town expression "Looks a bit black over Bill's mother's", where Bill's mother always lives in the indicated direction of rain clouds.

You can't be me, I'm taken

Who does`nt

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.
