This is what sickens me about America.
This country knows full well, what the right solutions are. We prop them on it's table every damn day. What does America do? Always going the opposite direction.
We worried about AI taking over jobs. It's happened and continues to happen, so we propped up UBI. America? "Naw, nah...no, you don't need that! Here, little Jack over there? Your boy right? Why, he's got too much time on his hands and plays too much video games. Now he needs to have a job. You'll let him get a job, won't you? If we lighten child labor laws some."
Fucking sickening, this country.
This country knows full well
This is the paradox. Are you sure this country knows? Why is the overwhelming majority in favor of capitalistic approaches which lead us exactly here? I don't think the country does know. Not really.
I think they know, just don't care.
Who exactly is the country? The people who live here or the few at the top making the decisions? Because the people who live here know the answer the people making the decisions do t or at least predentend they don't
After first exhausting every other option, we always do the right thing!
