There is no actual, tangible reason why we allow people to starve, to be homeless, to suffer and die needlessly. Food is plentiful. Empty homes are plentiful. Medicine is plentiful. It’s hidden away behind constructs and we pretend those constructs mean something. There is an empty home and a homeless family, give them it. There is a sick child and common medicine to treat it, give it to them. There is a starving person and so much food wasted by corporations or hidden behind a dollar sign, feed them.
this wasn’t a problem at first —-until those who were given abuse it and start to live off without working too hard and continue on asking and playing the victim card. If things were always given to them, they will continue to expect that things WILL be given to them and that’s were it all goes down. I’d rather give them jobs so they can save for their own house and buy their own food. That way, they’ll realize the real value of things.
its legit not in human nature to do this and the only people who dont work when given universal income and healthcare are 1. student 2. parents of very young children 3. actual children and 4. the disabled who cannot work
people starving cannot be productive members of society. people who are sick cannot be productive members of society. people who cannot sleep in a properly place or shower or rest cannot be productive members of society. these people realize these things have value, because they are dying without them. letting people suffer and live dollar to fucking dollar barely avoiding death, even if you cannot spare an OUNCE of empathy because ‘booooo some of them might be LAZY’, is actually bad for you. its bad for the economy, because these people dont buy much of anything. almost all of it goes into debt acquired from medical expenses, debt from trying to buy food on credit, and debt from not being able to pay rent on time.
“people just wont work” people dont like being bored or unproductive. people will simple do work you dont find of value. they will take up painting, or sewing, or cooking at home, or making video games for free, or write novels if they genuinely choose not to work. and these are things that are enjoyable and productive. if someone is genuinely sitting at home barely surviving and doing nothing productive its probably a sign they are ill (severe depression, sickness, trauma) and they need help not someone telling them they should shut up get outside and work or starve the fuck to death.
i dont care if people are ‘lazy’ under this system (even though they ARENT) you are a fundamentally immoral person if you think it is right in any capacity to sit back and watch another person suffer and die because you think it will ‘teach them a lesson’.
