Honestly, shut the fuck up. This article is 0% about Trump, but here you are making it about him too.
FUCK OFF. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

Didn’t they just adjust the whole inflation index again to not count a bunch of significant things? It’s a joke.
Same with unemployment. It only counts “able individuals who are actively searching for a job”. A lot of people aren’t included in those numbers when they should be.
It applies to only certain jobs. There’s some variance in CAs minimum wage depending on if you’re a tipped server, fast food worker, or something else.
Minimum wage is $15 in my state, so wtf are you talking about?
Landlords pay taxes on their property. Pay utilities. They dont have “every need met” or they wouldn’t need to charge rent in the first place.
You’re just arguing that the system is too broken fix. Which is even more reason why we should instead of shoving our heads in the sand.
But nah, too haaaaaard. Grrrr. Bad people will keep being bad so no point doing good. Grrrr.
Fucking loser.
If people aren’t living lay heck to paycheck, afraid of where the next meal comes from, they spend more. You forget that this money will first go to the most needing first. Yes their landlord will pocket some of that. But they will have a reliable place to sleep. They will go out and buy food. Their landlord will pay utilities and taxes… It’s not perfect, but it’s a hell of a lot better than denying those who need it the necessities because “well some people might profit down the line”. Then fix the rental laws. Fix labor laws. It’s not a complete solution, but at least it’s something in the right direction.
And way to miss the point of the analogy by latching on to one trivial difference. “It’s a one time payment” doesn’t change what kind of payment it is and why it’s given. It’s still free money. If you’re gonna be that pedantic, I think your meant to be on Reddit still.
And you’re still gaining services you didn’t have before. People who couldn’t afford a dentist, for example, now can. You need a whole different set of laws to tackle wealth inequality. We can do both.
It’s the same argument behind stimulus checks tbh. You give people money so that they can spend it on necessities and that money goes right back into the economy. Since our economy is based on growth and spending, more people spending money overall helps the economy, not hurts it. In addition, you’re spending less money on solving societal issues. Well fed sheltered people cause less problems.
So you won’t be able to steal as much of the value Joe creates from him and instead have to pay him a fairer share? Oh darn. You mean you won’t be able to live in luxury while others do the work for you?
Fuck off lmao
My boss just told us all how this will “remove our lunch and break times and take away all holidays” trying to scare us. Leeches, all of them.
World Hunger is literally a problem of corruption. The vast majority of problems are “we could solve this, but it costs money and we’d rather have another mega yacht”. If humans were truly altruistic, homelessness and hunger wouldn’t be issues at all. Are we savages? Maybe not. But overall altruistic? Bullshit.
There’s a reason we idolize heros instead of treating them as mundane. They are exceptional, not the norm.
Holy shit I’m glad to be wrong. Honestly surprised. That’s what I get for not reading the article and just assuming.
Thanks for the correction
So if they test positive for drugs, that means you’ll set them up with support programs, right? Treat the underlying issue, correct? Not just write them off and let the problem grow even more… right???
While I 100% agree with your interpretation in this case, I’m sure we can agree that “mentally ill person setting themselves on fire because the voices in their head told them too” is a plausible scenario. Self-immolation itself can absolutely be mental illness.
This was not mental illness.
Then why did you post this in memes? It’s not really funny or anything unless you’re an idiot who doesn’t see the bigger picture. Do you see why we might assume?
