@JoelMarquiss @s0und0fdeath @WallStreetApes Ah yes, taxation to minimize people’s suffering through universal healthcare = morally wrong, giving profiteering middlemen tons of money and having a more expensive system overall with less coverage = morally good.

@s0und0fdeath @WallStreetApes No. That would absolutely bankrupt us worse than we already are. We can not under any circumstances financially support such a program.On top of being morally and ethically wrong it is literally not possible

@TheChoochNation @nuclearzak @angryolditpers1 @RandPaul You cannot tell me there isn’t a problem when the facts are that the wealth gap has worsened, that wages for average people are stagnant while people at the top are making exponentially more than they used to, and that many can’t afford a family on a single wage.

@TheChoochNation @nuclearzak @angryolditpers1 @RandPaul The lowest paid FT worker should earn enough for the basics. If truck drivers are only making that much, then they are clearly underpaid too. That’s the trap a lot of people fall into, “well, that’s how much this more demanding/skilled job pays!”. Yes, they’re underpaid too.

@TheChoochNation @nuclearzak @angryolditpers1 @RandPaul The beginning and end of it is that if someone is requesting full time labor, they owe the person they hire to do it a wage which supports all the basics of life. Otherwise they don’t deserve a full time employee, because exploitation isn’t an acceptable business strategy.

@TheChoochNation @nuclearzak @angryolditpers1 @RandPaul People largely are not choosing to do nothing but stock shelves and live in poverty. Poverty is a painful way to live, and most people try to avoid that - it’s a myth that tons of people choose it. And trying to direct this at me won’t help you make a point.

@TheChoochNation @nuclearzak @angryolditpers1 @RandPaul Great, so all these rich people’s businesses should implode while all their “essential workers” get into the trades - and then by everyone getting into the trades, the saturation makes those prices plummet to nothing too. Makes sense.

@TheChoochNation @nuclearzak @angryolditpers1 @RandPaul It’s certainly easy for people who come from wealth already - the risk is easily taken by them. And taking risk doesn’t justify paying people peanuts for the labor which is actually generating money for the business. And again, you’re promoting being on benefits.

@TheChoochNation @nuclearzak @angryolditpers1 @RandPaul You’ve got it backwards. The wealthy are stealing from everyone else by transferring wealth upwards & not paying fair wages for labor. Everyone needs to survive somehow, your statement is actually encouraging everyone to go on benefits instead of working for parasites.

@TheChoochNation @nuclearzak @angryolditpers1 @RandPaul Nope. The wealthiest are not there simply because they worked harder than everyone else - they get there through exploitation of others, and the people who actually make them money are paid peanuts. Without their lowest paid workers, they would produce nothing and earn nothing.

@TheChoochNation @nuclearzak @angryolditpers1 @RandPaul There is abuse of any system (I would say that the wealthy abusing systems to hoard even more wealth is a much bigger issue, and greatly contributes to SNAP spending), but it is low for SNAP. Illegals are not eligible, people who have some form of legal status are.

@TheChoochNation @nuclearzak @angryolditpers1 @RandPaul Then the answer here is that the SNAP spending is justified. Can’t have it both ways that the SNAP spending shouldn’t be there, but also that people in many jobs shouldn’t make enough money to support themselves.

@nuclearzak @angryolditpers1 @RandPaul So you want people stocking shelves to get $30/hour? It don't work that way kemosabe. Low paying jobs are only suppose to be a 'stepping stone' to improving oneself. Problem is, a lot of people don't care to improve their worth to future employment. And that's their problem

@nordicc96 Math is the reason anything could be built, which is what makes it a powerful example of why white people cannot take credit for building everything.

@nordicc96 Europe had brown ppl, and they did not build everything from scratch with no labor or goods or ideas taken from others. These are l facts of human history, white ppl didn’t magically exist alone w/ no contact with others, and white people influenced brown ppl too.

@nordicc96 It continues to be recorded history that black slaves were brought there. In fact it’s a common theme that white people chose to use non-white people for labor.
