Reminded me of a guy here who couldn't open a bank account because they require you to select either male or female and he identified as a 'genderqueer non binary' :D.
****ing people identifying as gas giant stars! :rolleyes:

almost anywhere in my province you could work a min wage job and very easily afford rent and food. my province also has the 3rd highest unemployment rate and is the 2nd poorest in the whole country. surprise?

obv i know this isn’t the case anywhere, but cost is definitely region based. i bet you pay out the ****ing ass for rent in big cities in California. does that suck? hell yeah it does. is paying everybody 5 dollars more an hour gonna fix it? no chance.
Don't wish to be pendantic (yes I do) but you obviously meant "not the case everywhere". I only point it out because taking it as you wrote it completely changes the sentiment of your sentence.

you're twisting my words a bit. you play with the hand you're dealt. i have a ton of sympathy for people who do everything they can to make things work and still can't figure out a way to make it happen. fortunately, in the area i live it is rather easy to make a good living without much else than a strong work ethic. i have very little sympathy for people who would rather spend their time whining about not having enough money than trying to go out there and change it.

i guess the bottom line for me is, i would love to see everyone make enough money to survive on, but from where I'm looking (again, obv very different than your guys' situations) I also want people to be paid according to their value and commitment and not just for showing up and doing a half-assed job.

obviously capitalism throws a wrench into this whole concept because you have people being born into incredibly wealthy families and not having to do anything for it, but chances are that's a result of someone in their bloodline busting their ass to try and give them that opportunity.

is their a system like family allowance in the US like there is here? the government should step in for the single mother obv. the batlord? **** him.

btw i'm not advocating that family allowance fixes these problems, the system (here at least) needs to be reworked in a major way.

no but seriously I'd prefer a negative tax system where if you're below a livable income but have a job the gov pays you

I'm no dirty hippy who thinks nobody should have to work let's just **** all day contrary to what you might think
Not even for UBI.

You'll be voting centrist before long.
