It’s pure greed. Most good working systems in Europe work with sub systems, where you pay a fee to use that sub system. If the US government created his own and regulated the current insurance providers people would be far better protected. I believe in free market and capitalism as any sane person, but healthcare isnt something to be explored like that.
You’re joking but i quite believe Reddit would do it.
As far as I’m aware, they already have a buttload of taxes capable of paying a healthcare service. Why don’t they have one already? Lobbies.
For what I understood isn’t really the load caused by the users but the load caused by targeted DDOS attacks. Why would anyone attack a Lemmy instance? Humanity…
because your own economic status is precarious
So you pretty much called me dumb because I’m poor?
And also, that since you don’t agree with my economic views, Im just “brainwashed”? Seriously? That’s your argument? Seriously, go see the world, every country that actually applied your way of thinking ended up having a lot more children starving than the ones who apply my views.
State shouldn’t be taxing workers because some morons who decided to have children when they’re not supposed to don’t want to go work for 7$ a hour. Get a fucking grip and grow up “mate”
Why the American flag. How do you know I’m speaking about US?
Get a grip.
Do children deserve to starve because their parents aren’t employed?
Because they don’t want to work. There’s enough jobs.
Now much, but people get basically a minimum wage from the state without any effort, so why work at all?
My guess is that, criminalising lobbies would go a long way in the US.
Why the hell is the government subsidising what a huge mega corp pays?
In my country, some get a minimum wage from just being at home, plus they get a subsidy for each kid they have.
While the working class gets only a small subsidy for each kid (the higher your income the less you get).
So how you propose to raise wages?
Turns out that building a society where money and career determines your social status and doing unpaid work like taking care of a family and raising children is not valued at all and even very expensive makes people choose to have less or no children.
In my country the state taxes the shit out of us while pays for the children of non-working people (there’s a shitload of subsidies going into their pockets), so that doesn’t help at all. What people need is money in their pockets, so having a children doesn’t bankrupt a family.
For what I’ve heard japanese spend a lot of time working and their economy isn’t that great. People mostly avoid having children under these conditions for good reasons.
Firefighters for example is an essential service but in my country is done by volunteers who doesn’t get paid too much (when they should be paid better and government should be responsible for the service). Also, social welfare systems are usually required because you tax people to a point they can’t save money.
There are many examples in my country where government is overreaching by a lot but fails in the most basic stuff.
Hell, that’s dark 😅
I work, these people can find a job as well.
These kind of governments actually fail to help the people who really need and pay for people to not work at all.
Yeah never interact with someone’s animal without the owner consent. Is not good.
That’s the basis of socialism, you tax to redistribute wealth. That’s basically theft.
Never understood why nobody ever does a BLM-like protest but against lobbyism.
