Some good points here. As a child I was often sent to my room and the punishment turned into a life saver, as I am very energetic and felt like a caged animal. Today I thank my mom for those punishments, as I discovered reading makes the time fly and the more I read, the more I enjoyed it.
So yes, I was educated as a child.
Governments handing out freebies to their populations translates into dependence, wich in turn translates into votes at election times. A powerful weapon, as threats to take the free money away will ensure that they stay in power. "Free" money also creates loyalty and one of the main downsides is that it encourages laziness.
I read somewhere today that people are digging in a field and finding diamonds in SA. I am not sure if the story is real or not. I wonder what the people were doing before the diamonds were discovered.

Yes, the story is true and villagers are coming from far and wide to dig for the diamonds. The government took a hand by saying that the crowds will be super spreaders for covid, but the people are not worried.
Most of them are un-employed and you can only think what by finding one, or a few diamonds would mean to them.
