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.
would you not accept going from a house to something less decent if it came with the likelihood that everyone in the world would have housing, food, and security?
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 used to work in contract law at an insurance company (not a lawyer), and I was paid well to do highly specialized work. I now work behind the counter at a bakery and I get to help people feed their families. I unquestionably provide more actual value to the world through my current job than my previous one.
Id agree with you there! But youre actively bettering the community and improving quality of life, you deserve to have a comfortable living situation for that. You can't just give houses and money to lazy or addicted people, that doesnt solve the issue is what im saying.
