I posted this comment already yesterday but i'll post it again because it's still relevant:
Do we want to get higher wages? The obvious answer might seem “yes”. But i argue it’s not that obvious.
People should be able to live without being forced to work. When your only income is from wages, that effectively forces you to work. I think we should strive for a society where basic needs are fulfilled even without jobs.
Personally i think that unless you're disabled everyone should work. Where I live everyone has basic healthcare, cheap schools and there are lots of unions and workers rights so literally no one has to work more than 32 hours for a basic level of living. If youre disabled you receive wellfare so you dont have to work. Its literally a choice if you live on the streets here.
I have literally no idea why the US has such a horrible and oppressive system when it comes to workers rights, healthcare and schooling. I don't understand why anyone thinks it's a good idea to have a two party system. I have no idea why the rich barely pay any taxes there. You have a truly corrupt and inhuman system in place.
The US specifically didn't choose a two party system. We accidentally set one up. The math proving that FPTP has a 100% guaranteed chance to devolve into a two party system hadn't been done until the mid 1800s
Its literally a choice if you live on the streets here.
What if you can't find work for whatever reason (e.g. there's high unemployment and not enough jobs for everyone, or the person is somehow considered "unemployable," but not necessarily disabled)? What about single parents with infants/toddlers? Are there a lot of "bullshit jobs" where you live?
We have a social rent system in place for that, it means the government will pay part of the rent. Also if you cant work because you have kids there is a system in place for that too, you receive benefits (which is based on minimum wage).
Basically everyone pays taxes on their wage here to make sure no one has to live on the streets. There is lots of social housing here.
It would have been even better if he worked in a hospital right. Fight the power dur dur. Fucking clowns
You think when they rebuild that they're going to try to hire at that same wage?
It's not the IDEAL way to make your point...
But you gotta admit... He made his point and the top brass are now 100% aware of his issues.
You are telling me that I may have been hyperbolic to convey my point and defending an arsonist.
I didn't say shit............. You don't even know where I live.........
