Not that I'm a believer, but

41 ... 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; 42 for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink; 43 I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.’

Matthew 25 41:43

: & Spkr claim on programs lift people out of . Is that true? No. A study of when Virginia added work requirements to in '13: there was 53% reduction in participation, but the effects on were "not statistically different from zero."

No increase in employment, but an big increase in ppl going hungry.

...no one should applaud what happened as it was a terrible outcome to a completely avoidable situation. The discourse on other sites is horrible but we must remember that those sites amplify such discourse to increase their profit.

Look... if you treat your employees well enough then your workers will not likely feel the inclination to unionize... however, how does it really hurt you if you let them. An employer can offer great benefits at the macro level that do not translate to the local level. Some stores are going to be more dangerous, some stores are going to be in places where higher wages are really not that high.

I don't understand why people are flabbergasted when I say I am fine with 50% (or more) income tax if it means guaranteed housing, food, water, healthcare, childcare and education. For most people, these are the things they would spend the $ on anyways.

The fact that food, water, and shelter are not a by right necessity in this country still blows my mind. Mixed use, mixed economic housing is one of the smallest investments localities can make that pays some of the greatest dividends. Projects don't work, moving the homeless somewhere else does not work, relying on charities has not worked, and no one should go to sleep in this country not knowing where they will sleep or eat the next day.

I wish guaranteed benefit would make a major comeback rather than guaranteed contribution in the US. Heck, even a required hybrid system would be great. Life is a heck of a lot easier when you know that your retirement isn't solely based on the market conditions the day you decide to retire.
