lets say hypothetically

2018-02-27 03:29:18 UTC  

jobs were becoming harder to find

2018-02-27 03:29:28 UTC  

Whose responsible for that?

2018-02-27 03:29:31 UTC  

and a lot not even needed

2018-02-27 03:29:36 UTC  

What if the gov had a job garauntee and had people do productive things instead

2018-02-27 03:29:53 UTC  

Instead of getting money for existing

2018-02-27 03:29:55 UTC  

Government isn't accountable or competent enough to trust on that level.

2018-02-27 03:30:02 UTC  

Do you force ppl to do bs jobs that dont produce anything

2018-02-27 03:30:12 UTC  

When government guarantees something, it's statistically fucked.

2018-02-27 03:30:40 UTC  

Just like how they're supposed to guarantee life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

2018-02-27 03:30:50 UTC  

They've been failing willfully for over 100 years.

2018-02-27 03:31:05 UTC  

Government gets money for just existing.

2018-02-27 03:31:11 UTC  

A job garauntee would give the workers more leverage in the private sector since they could always quit and work for the state

2018-02-27 03:31:16 UTC  

Why shouldn't the people...the supreme state?

2018-02-27 03:31:34 UTC  

The last thing that we need is bigger government and more taxes.

2018-02-27 03:31:45 UTC  

The gov gets money to protect your rights

2018-02-27 03:31:54 UTC  

What rights have they protected?

2018-02-27 03:31:59 UTC  

Name one.

2018-02-27 03:32:06 UTC  

Queef do you think things are running well

2018-02-27 03:32:06 UTC  

Life liberty pursuit of happiness

2018-02-27 03:32:18 UTC  

the whole thing is on the verge of collapse

2018-02-27 03:32:20 UTC  

Yeah unemployment all time low, GDP is high

2018-02-27 03:32:38 UTC  

GDP is corporate wealth in America...not personal wealth per citizen.

2018-02-27 03:32:55 UTC  

wages havent grown

2018-02-27 03:32:59 UTC  

So? Higher GDP means better QoL

2018-02-27 03:33:03 UTC  

personal debt still rising

2018-02-27 03:33:16 UTC  

the whole thing is dangerously unstable

2018-02-27 03:33:27 UTC  

Higher GDP means government and corporations have more power/capital...that's it.

2018-02-27 03:33:31 UTC  

Wages have grown if you account for benefits

2018-02-27 03:33:37 UTC  

What measure of average earning is there for the people?

2018-02-27 03:33:56 UTC  

That's the true GDP in my eyes...not what corporations are raking in.

2018-02-27 03:34:01 UTC  

The Gini Coefficient is usually a better metric than GDP

2018-02-27 03:34:08 UTC  

It's about the people...fuck the country and corporations.

2018-02-27 03:34:20 UTC  

Sure, a country's GDP may rise but if that wealth is being distributed disproportionately does it really matter?

2018-02-27 03:34:21 UTC  

What is a country without it's people?

2018-02-27 03:34:31 UTC  

@Uriel Exactly.

2018-02-27 03:34:36 UTC  

Yeah Afghanistan is great with their 0.28 gini

2018-02-27 03:34:40 UTC  

question

2018-02-27 03:34:40 UTC  

GDP is a measure of the 1% wealth.

2018-02-27 03:35:05 UTC  

That wealth was slaved away for by the people.
