    No, you work 40 hours a week to bail out unsustainable businesses, give tax breaks to billionaires, clean up unpunished pollution, and support the infrastructure that allows corporations to pay starvation wages for 40 hour work weeks instead of living wages.

    Get fucked! 🫡

        Government spending doesn’t work like your bank account. Instead of just letting banks invent money through fractional reserve banking the government can pay for these kinds of essential services with new money. Taxation isn’t like having a bake sale so you can afford to buy things, it’s one way for money to be drawn out of the economy so that inflation is controlled.

        Yes some taxes raise money proportional to some other spending and are ear-marked for that, but notice how no new taxes had to be introduced to give tens of billions to Ukraine and Israel?

        The government can pay for public services.

          Hell, we just need to take a small fraction of what the military gets yearly to pay for everyone’s student loans, right now.

    Free, high quality education would prevent sad, uneducated bait like this.

      A strong education system is the best long-term ROI possible. Sadly those elected to lead only care about short term ROI or “the children” if it means more surveillance.

    Im so sorry for my decision to work in a company, the CEO gambled away and got laid off because the new owner decided to sell all assets off, next time when I take a loan I look into the crystalball to see if the 2nd generation family business will exist in 20 years

    Only assholes assume that everything they enjoy in life they earned alone and that they don’t benefit whatsoever from the labor or others.

    An educated populace benefits everyone, and is a far better option than forcing someone to begin their working life in debt.

    This is a rubbish take unfortunately.

  • We’re talking about those PPP loans that businesses and the wealthy abused, and not student loans that people are stuck with due to systemic causes… Right… Right…

    Nah fuck you, fuck your money, fuck your time, since you’re using it to stan for people who are happily stealing your time and my time and all our everything. I would literally steal all the capitalists’ money if I could get away it.

            Since you’re still paying the mortgage, I guess the word foreclosure isn’t one you’ve looked up.

            You own fuck all until it’s paid in full.

    Why do I get the feeling that this is the same guy with an alt account?

    What is the end goal here? Lemmy is dominated by people who a strongly left leaning. Posting anything that doesn’t play into the narrative will just piss them off. You are wasting your time.

      Somebody’s gotta voice the other side. Too many platforms are just one sided and it makes for terrible information bias.

        This is the entirely wrong place for this. Start a new community if you want to but keep this politics free. I already get slightly annoyed with the left circle jerk but at least it is easier to ignore. You are starting fights just for the sake of it.
