Just think about it! It’ll be easy to cut ties, just get a job with an easy employer and move out! If only…

    Any necessity should be nationalized and given. How tf are people supposed to work on issues (wound/trauma healing) when constantly exposed, without time for rest and recovery, to the same or similar traumatizing events? No. Give homes and competent, comprehensive health care, along with healthy foods and decent clothing. After recovery, people can contribute back to societies in meaningful, sustainable ways. But that would mean the end of wage slavery or literal chattel slavery (via social constructs, such as prison or threat of deportation), and billionaires and corporations being heavily taxed, and we can’t have that now, can we?

      If everyone is just given everything for free, who is going to pay for it all? That’s just putting other people into slavery to pay for all the people who want to mooch off society.

        Contributing to social programs is a good thing - we should judge a society based on how it treats the most vulnerable members. And I want to live in a world where everyone, no matter who they are, has their needs met.

          There’s already too many people who feel entitled to steal from others. People should think of how they can contribute to society, not how they can take, take, take from it.

            I think that is the discussion that was happening here?

            Exactly. I don’t think you meant to, but you just described the majority of billionaires.

              Well yes billionaires contribute to society but I didn’t think that was what OP was asking.
