    Why do liberals so often want people to suffer?

    How about meeting people’s needs not giving them the bare minimum levels of things if they perform “minimum wage”/lowest price point capitalists can get away with giving jobs?

    Why can’t you just argue for great healthcare for everyone? Why can’t people just be entitled to a house, food, needs met, etc?

    This radical centrism is why things never improve.

      I’d love a maximum wage, amirite? LOL

      Although, we should get rid of the social security cap on high earners. It’d solve a lot of this insolvency talks, promptly.

      In a world with infinite resources where these things require no labor to produce, you would be right. Sadly we don’t live in that world.

      Because the smaller goal is more achievable and is a step towards the bigger goal.

      Saying “let’s not even try to go for the more achievable goal because it’s not quite enough” is counter-productive.
