$15/hr minimum wage, UBI, free college, canceling college loan debt & Medicare For All: they’re not government handouts; they’re economic justice. It’s government’s job to provide the average person with a fair shot at making it in what has become an economically merciless world.

The point most people appear to miss is that colleges are for profit and they should not be. It should not be free, it should be very affordable. Colleges should control their expenses.

You know how I know this is a bad idea? If I paid for all of these benefits for my young adult son, everyone I know would say to me "You're spoiling him. He has to learn to make it on his own and pay his own way..."

If the government would orient toward providing these, it would redirect the karma toward resolving this whole situation. We keep trying the same things and it gets worse

Justice for what?

This is like a religion. Stop worshiping the state ya'll. All that government force can do is make a problem feel a little better in the moment while it makes it worse over time.

Money technically grows on tree’s as it is paper.. BUT… when you increase the wages for everyone… the costs of everything goes up. Look at countries with national healthcare.. they pay their HCW peanuts. Wouldn’t fly here. We also love to sue everyone.

Economic justice is MOASS. What you’re talking about it buying votes. What you’re talking about is continued dependence on people that would rather you cover your dirty face while you deliver them their takeout after they worked from home all week. You are creating tiers. STOP.

The actual constitutional unit of money is silver (the “dollar” of 371.25 grains troy), with gold valued in units of silver at its free-market exchange-rate with silver. The value of the Constitutional dollar today is worth $19.69. That’s how we achieve “economic justice.”

Say prices go up (and they are). By the time this legislation is passed $15 will be futile. Then what Only way to thrive is to increase your job market value. Look beyond the minimum Lets not conflate job market worth with individual worth. Two separate things.
