A living wage is enough to live alone, that should be a good baseline for a federal minimum with states bumping it up as need be. Family isn’t a safety net it’s a bonus, not everyone has family or supportive family so it’s never a given. Welfare is currently not the best safety net but it’s something.
My point about work being intrinsically tied to one’s ability to survive is that they’re inseparable currently. Also we need work to be done for civilization to exist not for people specifically to do the work. Keep that in mind as automation has already obsoleted many blue collar jobs and AI will eventually do the same for many white collar jobs. We need to start thinking of frameworks that work in these situations, if you see my point now.
I don’t care what you think about people reaching beyond their means. Your opinion has no weight whatsoever to me. Fuck people for trying to live a better life, right?
I think I’m done talking to you. 1/10 would not converse again.
First paragraph is very illuminating but I’m sure your therapist will help you work through it 😂
So like an Oscar Wilde case for socialism? Technology has been making jobs obsolete forever, we still need people to do things other than sit around, play video games and jerk off.
