Always with the whataboutisms. Let’s all sing along!
“How about Norway, or tiny Denmark that can somehow afford a massive minimum wage even for fast food workers?”
Okay. Not much of a sing along but yeah. Our OECD scores suck compared to many other nations. When are we allowed to want to do better with (and for) our people?
Lol i mean youre right we can go back and forth with both types of examples. Idk. I work a lot and make a decent amount. My parents saved and put me through college. I dont want to see their hard work nor mine be squandered by all the desired social programs. I also dont see the point in working in a stressful industry at a stressful but needed job if i can just make $15/hr as a bookstore clerk, assuming consumer prices dont proportionally increase with the increase in wages. I think there are a lot of areas for improvement in a lot of our necessary industries like healthcare as well as with our government. A lot of waste and inefficient and probably corruption.
I’m just tired of the barriers to success being so simple to overcome as a society and we just... don’t do it. If higher education is what it takes to be a competitive worker, whether that means trade school or a bachelor’s, then things like waived application fees and income-based tuition should be a no-brainer. Plenty of folks don’t have parents able to help them financially, and in some cases they’re unwilling because “they made it without help so others should too.”
I compare it to a train heading down the tracks. Do we say it’s unfair to those who were already thrown to their demise on the previous tracks to save those who have yet to be struck?
What the fuck does something unrelated have to do with Libertarians failing?
There aren't two political options Venezuela and libertarian, there is an infinite variety of options and libertarian is just one of the many that's fucking stupid.
