Working 40 hours a week should mean you can live like a human being.
Pay rent without that knot in your stomach.
Buy groceries without doing math in the checkout line.
See a doctor without choosing between your health and bankruptcy.
Nobody is asking for mansions, vacations every month, or to βlive like a millionaire.β
We just want one full-time job to cover a normal life again.
Rent. Food. Healthcare. A little breathing room.
Thatβs not greed.
Thatβs the bare minimum.
And we used to have it.
Ben Stein Nixon speechwriter, Yale lawyer, the teacher from Ferris Bueller said this in 2019 and it still slaps:
βWe have a society in which there are an awful lot of people who have no idea that Stalin, Hitler, Mao Tse-Tung all came to power promising the same kinds of things that Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is promising. And it led to mass murder, it led to dictatorship, it led to genocide. These promises are old promises and they invariably lead to bad things.β
Nailed it.
Free stuff is never free. Somebody always pays.
Letβs not let history repeat itself.
