Mr MotionA life based purely off of what you need to survive is not a life worth living. That’s where I disagree with all this socialist talk. I’m not advocating for extreme excess, but the way the socialist advocates or rather anti-capitalism advocates talk makes it seem as if having the bare minimum is enough to placate people.
Absolutely no one is talking about the bare minimum

Yea I meant right now not ideally lol.
As someone who lives in a rented home I would personally not want this to be the case.

I wouldn’t wanna live in public housing with more funding than the house my parents rent.
I mean ideally I would but I don’t think we have the infrastructure to sustain that, so nah.

I’ve never heard of thisIf this was to be amended do you think we have enough money funneled through government now that could be reallocated or do we need to significantly raise taxes?

no we don't need to raise taxes. we can pay for it by creating new funds and then controlling that through other means (im not an economic expert or anything but study MMT if you can). but even if you dnt subscribe to that, we could just take money from the military budget, and put 80 bil + towards targeted housing projects and more towards government subsidies to help ppl struggling with rent

Ok so before I deep dive, and forgive my ignorance if it shows, you’re saying that because the US dollar is fiat we can basically use MMT to establish universal housing?

Havent heard of it but I’m assuming the book is about how the debt basically isn’t real?
And yea I wouldn’t say I find it boring but I’m not a reader and it’s hard to find videos on it that aren’t boring or just straight unwatchable.
Will read that article though 👍🏽
