Imagine the phrases:
“Everyone deserves food”
“Everyone deserves shelter”
“Everyone deserves clean water”
“Everyone deserves access to healthcare”
Being considered radical fucking ideas
We have failed - collectively - as a society
I think about billionaires a lot (kinda my job?) so let me say this:
Most every billionaire on the planet would happily kill you for an extra few points on their investment. This isn't theoretical, it literally happens. They literally make decisions they know will kill people.
@xjrsimx@CMHAuthor780@TDBank_US@TD_Canada Ah yes, let’s maintain the status quo. It’s clearly working so we’ll for folks. Most unhoused folks work. Again, your ignorance is showing. Have fun at the pub, ‘economist’.
Playing with my money is like playing with my emotions, @TDBank_US. Where is my money, TD Bank? Y’all better be ready to give EVERYONE affected a boost to our bank accounts. If I don’t pay my credit card there’s a penalty- what’s the penalty for y’all?
@xjrsimx@CMHAuthor780@TDBank_US@TD_Canada Most don’t really have a choice. Ask them what they’d rather be doing to earn money for their lives, bet it’s not slinging beers for you.
@xjrsimx@CMHAuthor780@TDBank_US@TD_Canada The literal United States of America. Not any ‘capitalist nation’. Again, you’re being intentionally obtuse. The only country in the world strong enough to shrug off US interference is China. Canada would be rolled over in a second.
@xjrsimx@CMHAuthor780@TDBank_US@TD_Canada And you know why the US gov’t interferes? To uphold capitalism. To give ignorant ‘economists’ examples of ‘sOciaLiSm dOeSn’T wOrK.’ Keep on keeping on with the systems that are destroying society and the planet.
@xjrsimx@CMHAuthor780@TDBank_US@TD_Canada Are you going to mention the US gov’t sabotage of socialist gov’ts in Latin America throughout the latter part of the 20th century? Or does that not affect economics? Every example of socialism that you can cite has had US gov’t interference contribute to it’s failure.
@xjrsimx@CMHAuthor780@TDBank_US@TD_Canada We would definitely revert to the standards of over 100 years ago if we reimagined society without capitalism at the forefront. Wow, that makes so much sense. Can’t really see past what you were taught in ‘economist’ school, eh?
