Who's gonna pay for it
Government and the wealthy.
LOL
lets do a simple problem
That's called "giving back".
scale it down a little
lets say hypothetically
jobs were becoming harder to find
Whose responsible for that?
and a lot not even needed
What if the gov had a job garauntee and had people do productive things instead
Instead of getting money for existing
Government isn't accountable or competent enough to trust on that level.
Do you force ppl to do bs jobs that dont produce anything
When government guarantees something, it's statistically fucked.
Just like how they're supposed to guarantee life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
They've been failing willfully for over 100 years.
Government gets money for just existing.
A job garauntee would give the workers more leverage in the private sector since they could always quit and work for the state
Why shouldn't the people...the supreme state?
The gov gets money to protect your rights
What rights have they protected?
Name one.
Queef do you think things are running well
Life liberty pursuit of happiness
the whole thing is on the verge of collapse
Yeah unemployment all time low, GDP is high
GDP is corporate wealth in America...not personal wealth per citizen.
wages havent grown
So? Higher GDP means better QoL
personal debt still rising
the whole thing is dangerously unstable
Higher GDP means government and corporations have more power/capital...that's it.
Wages have grown if you account for benefits
What measure of average earning is there for the people?
That's the true GDP in my eyes...not what corporations are raking in.
The Gini Coefficient is usually a better metric than GDP
It's about the people...fuck the country and corporations.
Sure, a country's GDP may rise but if that wealth is being distributed disproportionately does it really matter?
