  • Good argument. Your statement solves all our issues. How can people not see this isn’t a black and white issue? It can however be put simply:

    Billionaires shouldn’t exist.

    Everyone deserves a living wage (NOT access to all life’s luxuries)

    If you feel like busting your ass working or saving money, you should be ABLE to afford the luxuries you want.


  • I do like it on occasion yes, and those workers deserve a living wage. They don’t deserve the luxuries of life that a doctor has, however.

    Id agree the “hardness” of a job is difficult to quantify. A job where you sit at a computer all day but talk to people and run large projects to build houses or factories or anything like that, will pay more than a fast food person. They both are working, but it’s different. Could the fast food employee design an electrical system for a food facility ? No. Could the electrical engineer work fast food? Almost definitely yes.


  • Interesting take. I don’t believe it’s an all or nothing question. But I think we can all agree that a lazy-by-choice person doesnt deserve as much as someone who went to school for 6 years to be a doctor. Now.the lazy person doesn’t deserve prison or to be homeless. But if you think both people need to live in a 1 bedroom apartment for things to be equal, thats actually oppression, not equality.

    Thats a good question, but let me also ask this: is every single human equal? I hate to break it to you, but there are people providing a lot more value to the world than a taco bell worker. So yes, I think the taco bell worker deserves a surviveable wage while they study to be greater and have social safety nets in place to assist. However if they only aspire to stay at taco bell, smoke weed and play cod all night after work, that is fine, but to be fair to others who aspired to be greater, the taco bell worker doesn’t deserve as much as them.

    Before you call me an old boomer-i actually know people who live the above life and im sorry, they don’t deserve to have more than a small apartment. Which maybe is fine with them ! But no, im not going to give up my place to benefit those who aren’t attributing as much. Notice, I didn’t say they aren’t deserving of fair and affordable housing and safety nets.


  • I think im the only one who agrees with you…we don’t need this many people, and no one asks to be born. This doesn’t mean we kill off people already here at all. Just stop feeling like kids are a requirement to live, or adopt.

    Think about it. One person. Has 4 kids. Each kid wants their own house. Then each of those kids has kids that want their own house. None of that is sustainable. We wouldn’t have to all live in 1 bedroom apartments if there were less people.



  • Thats the part that sucks. For super poor people this is great. For those of us already in a decent house, it would be a lot worse. I For one cant live in apartments, unless I was absolutely close to homeless.

    Although, if we took the billionaires down a notch I bet a lot more people could also have houses.
