@B_R_Covi@fuckyouiquit Why do wealthy conservatives always think poor people don't exist. 10% of the US population (35M people) are below poverty level (under 25k/yr per household) and 50M people are low income. (under 31k/yr)
The US needs better social safety nets.
@Ott_boy@JamieClass5@ok6ixx@valleonardcomc1 I'm sure MAGA people are all good people since they voted for a corrupt lying racist sexist felon who hangs out with pedophiles. /s
@Gwydion_Wolf@fuckyouiquit The top tax rate is. But McDonald's workers aren't paying the top tax rate and they still get all the benefit of a strong social democracy. University is free and medical debt is non-existent.
@Radze11@fuckyouiquit Wages aren't the reason the food is more expensive, corporate buybacks are. Immigrants pay on average more income tax than those born in the US. Help abroad means fewer refugees. How can you be so wrong about everything.
@1985jjohnson@fuckyouiquit The risk is asymmetrical. Switching jobs is difficult. Trying to start your own business might not work, wasting your savings. (If any) People need an income to eat.
The company? They don't give too shits about replacing employees with someone even more desperate, or AI.
@Note_Portal@CanadianPolling "Not a fan of oil" lol yeah right.
Oil demand is already peaking worldwide as renewables are cheaper, less volatile, and don't cause pulmonary diseases. Why invest in the past and risk our health and environment.
@Areaindividual1@rabbit8lol@Brianwbuss@fuckyouiquit Yeah right I guess 10% of the country just chooses to be uninsured. I know somebody who went blind because they couldn't afford to see a doctor. Fuck off.
@Ericdcraneukiah@rufen78@chefanakin@MetamateDaz Except you have it reversed. You are in a free market. You just forget that everyone gets old one day. Everyone pooling together to care for each other is how you keep costs down. Wake-up.
