I also “love” the general American attitude - everyone else either works for a living or should starve, but the moment they’re hit with unemployment without a safety net, these very people become the “welfare queens” they constantly complain about.
Besides, this isn’t 1920 anymore. “Rugged individualism” isn’t the goal to live for. We live in a society - shocking, I know! - and this society shall always be built upon kindness and inclusivity and equality. That means no family left to fend for themselves, no children left starving in school, no person left without a roof over their heads… Making food a human right isn’t that hard to do, and interestingly it’s only the US and Isn’trael who vetoed said UN motion. I mean just consider how much food goes to waste every single day (and I’m not even talking about accidental waste like us ADHD enjoyers do, buying a tray of strawberries only to promptly forget about them and remember only when they’ve grown a winter fur coat and are ready to leave the fridge), and consider just how many farmers there are out there who would rather let all of that go to waste if they don’t get paid for it.
imagine how easy it would be to have all the leftover be bought by the government, and distributed to locations in need. Or how easily the local government (mayoral level) could confiscate housing that should be utilised but is staying empty purely because the landlord is a twat and won’t rent it out under market price…
But then again the US government does keep proving that it’s mostly thuggish mafia the citizens can’t trust, so not really surprised by it. Honestly, the US will greatly benefit from its impending collapse.
