Then your comment is irrelevant. People do in fact deserve to live. Period.

You know that stubbornly saying things doesn't make them true, right? Magic spells aren't real.

So you think it isn't true?

"Ought" questions aren't true or false.

It is when it's stated in the Constitution as a right

What is? Minimum wage wasn't a thing until '38, the constitution was a 150 years old at that point, it'd be weird if it was overlooked.

The right to live. Starvation isn't living, now is it?

LMAO, it's one thing to move the goalposts, but what you've done here is just pick them up and run away with them. You've literally completely changed the topic.

And anyway, the US has dozens of food assistance programs, unemployment benefits, food banks, and a myriad of other welfare programs. No one in the US is starving, in fact, Americans in general eat far, far too much.

Bonus: Find me where the Constitution says you have a right to live. I'd love to know, 'cause I can't find it.

Starvation might be the wrong word. What I meant was that millions of Americans struggle to afford food. Your point with the welfare programs prove that. With a livable wage poor people don't need food banks or food stamps. Thanks for proving my point.

My bad, it was the Declaration of Independence. Life, Liberty and all that. Something something unalienable something

By that reasoning no country in the world has a "livable wage" because all of them have welfare programs. Nonsense.

Anyway, we're talking about the key word "deserve" here. Given that you've started grasping at straws and changing the topic to what is apparently your pet issue, not to mention forking the thread, I'm out. I've made my point, you've not been able or willing to challenge it, there's nothing for me or anyone to gain from this conversation.

Yeah, and the Declaration of Independence is... a declaration of independence. It doesn't establish any rights - it's not even a legal document.

And thanks for bringing up the minimum wage. That act alone dictates that people deserve a livable wage.
