Very big brain centrist

and how do u know when someone "truly" needs it

But what is the actual problem with providing it?

If it was provided, you would know that no one would go without.

The way to prevent things from happening is putting things in place so they don't happen, not addressing them at the last moment.

Yeah but youre also an idiot and can't see how these forces interact in the real world. In the real world, the capitalist class uses their outsized power, wealth and influence to make sure that these programs that are supposedly there to help people, get cut every year and in some cases end up borderline non existent.

And these negative rights you believe in are what allow it to happen. And even then, you want to restrict this help to a certain class of people.

He gets to decide personally.

something that limits them from working, such as a physical or mental illness, old age, addiction, i guess there could be all kinds of things

yes i am king now

yeah tbh having welfare systems doesn't work because welfare is secondary to profit

like flint didn't have water for 4 f***ing years what kind of a f***ed up system is that

it's not engrained into the system to care about your citizens; it's rather a bandaid to give them the bare minimum to survive; to pacify; to legitimize. profits, instead, are your citizens.

has the water issue in flint been fixed yet ?

Yeah the "safety nets" have HUGE holes in them.

i dont think so

And how about if their labor is exploited so greatly and their wage so low that they simply cannot afford the ever increasing cost of living

I support a raise in the minimum wage

to what?

Ty d***head

to help people working low wage jobs afford rent?

what are you asking me lol

im asking you to what amount

The lack of basic human rights

Housing
Food
Water
Medical

Are all reasons for generational problems amongst families. The lack of these things causes people to pass down mental health problems, poor health, etc.

Maybe you the wrong guy lol you live in dc

All this talk about minimum wage while you're forgetting about the wage slaves in the global south making pennies to satisfy your decadent western lifestyle

And we haven't even touched the stranglehold of the white elite/white supremacy....

$15 to start, potentially more if the data shows its necessary

and this

i guess we are the bad guys for advocating for safety nets and not wanting everyone who turns 18 to be built and given a home lmao
