This playing of music for survival in cold weather surely shows their suffering; Another need for an Equal Money System.

This is unacceptable. But thank you Maya and Anna for sharing this, you guys are really cool reporters.
-
it is indeed ridiculous to accept a system in which you must find a way to become valuable enough to someone with money, that they will want to give you money
-
@IngridBloemheuvel - The guys in this video come from Romania, having traveled to Denmark in the hopes of making a better life for themselves. But they are not welcomed into one of the world's most effective welfare systems - The only possible ways they can survive is either by playing music, working as builders for scraps or stealing. This is a clear example of Inequality.

Thanks for this report Anna and Maya! Agree. And this situation makes music seem to be a job for beggars, instead of the great art and self-expression that it really is. With an Equal Money System people can still play on the streets for fun, enjoying the good weather and sharing their music, but not for the sake of paying their lunch and bills. There are no human rights respected this way - and we are speaking about this for ages!!!

Having to play music outside allday in the winter just to survive is bullshit. Thanks for exposing this
-
thanks for exposing this and cool support within the comments here! especially about how if, for some reason, they aren't able to play music, then they aren't supported and won't be able to survive - this is unacceptable - musical expression or ANY self-expression should definitely not be contingent on survival and money.
Equal Money for ALL!!

Fucked up
thanks for sharing

@MayaHarelHere - agree! :-)
Almost everybody is doing what they are doing for survival. The musicians are not an outstanding example. They play for a few hours and that`s it for the day.
Go to a building site for example where people work 11 hours a day outside no matter what the weather conditions might be.
This survival fuck up you find around every corner in fact.

@southanjuna - agree!
Thus we must stand as the solution for those who can't.
Equal money system will insure all will get dignified life where the fear of survival will be NO MORE.

We have these musicians in town too - I do not see the inequality in this. From my point of view they are doing what they like to do: making music and entertain the shopping crowd and making some money out of it (and I've heard that is not just a coin or two , but a good amount of money they make) So no, not beggars, but trading
their skills for money.

@IngridBloemheuvel I'm sure some enjoy doing that but would they do it within Equal money system? Most of the people that are expressing themselves in the streets doing it from the starting point of survival. so i suggest to ask those people in your town if they are doing it for survival or not. those in this video said the only reason they are there is for survival.

@IngridBloemheuvel i think that when someone don't have known salary and doesn't know how much one will end up with at the end of the month then the fear of survival is hanging upon their head.
Also, take into consideration that those people don't have income if they are sick or can't play because they hurt their hands. in case they can't play, they won't have money. so again - they doing it for survival.
