  2. This shit is unsustainable.

    It’s either revolution or collapse.

  3. It’s docile, nice democrats who care about this

    Gun-toting MAGAs want affirmation from these clowns. And to OWN liberals

  4. UBI is by far the most plausible solution. Wage labor will never again be the political force it was in the twentieth century. We need Human rights to basic needs, worker’s right have there place but they can not mitigate globalization, automation and gigification.

    We need to provide the precariat with the breathing room to think critically, if democracy is going to survive.

  5. I honestly can’t imagine where another ten years of double digit year over year gains are gonna come from. People would literally have to die to make the math work.

  6. Is it more so if America or is this the world? What countries are doing to right?

  7. Economy crumbled under Bush when they tried to hold it up long enough to hand a mess to Obama. No one pulling the levels now is trying to stabilize anything. Decade? I wouldn’t be surprised if the timeline is under 3 years. When the rich struggle, they have means to make do. For the lower class, they have nothing to fall back on. Collapse will be swift and painful for millions.

  8. Hasn’t happened in 2000 years, probably longer and to much higher degrees than now. Just like with the French Revolution, it only replaces one set of oligarchies with another.
