      Business reviewed this proposal and it didn’t give the right amount of dread to keep employees panicking about keeping their jobs. Everyone knows that employees afraid of losing their jobs are less likely to form unions more productive!

      Some of the laboratories of democracy are pretty progressive, some more than the countries thought of as “progressive” in some ways even. But those ideas are never implemented nationally.

    Why is this a Google drive link? If the PDF is publicly available, link to that.

        the majority of usa populace. most folks in America believe in a just world where those who are good are rich and should be rewarded and those who are bad are poor and should be punished.

        hence why when a billionaire breaks the laws nobody cares, but when a poor person steals food they should be locked up.

        they also believe in zero-sum thinking, where if anyone gets anything it came at the expense of someone else. they have no concept of how economics and life actually works. just consumed by jealousy and bitterness and assuming if others didn’t ‘take’ from them they would have more.

          There is also the concept of the American Dream being sold to the people, with everyone being convinced they can “make it” if they just try hard enough and after they do they want to reap the rewards the rich are awarded. John Oliver summed the line of thinking up almost a decade ago: “yes, I can clearly see this game is rigged, which is gonna make it so sweet when I win this thing!” [1](https://youtu.be/LfgSEwjAeno)

          So partial steps and stop gap measures in that direction are inherently bad? The people still need houses. Denying them because they use the capitalist method instead of the public one is still fucking absurd and punished the poorest. Work for change, but stop shitting on progress when it happens.

      Giving desperate people money for food and housing is clearly a plot to benefit BIG CAPITALISM!
