I didn’t claim sex education’s normalization resulted in the out of wedlock birthrate, I pointed out to expect sex education alone to fix the problem has not worked.
Because you expect a change immediately, which is naive. And you're falsely correlating that one thing as what anyone is claiming will fix the problem in itself without other aspects that help in their own way, this isn't a reductive solution like why your car is not working.
Problem??? I am part of the 90%. Just 40 years ago the 1% paid half as much as they pay now! That’s less for me to have to pay.
You don't make as much money as the people that control 70% of our wealth, you're comparing apples and oranges. What you pay is a pittance compared to the wealthy, if they actually paid it instead of finding every possible loophole in the tax system to avoid it
Nobody has billions of dollars, they have assets worth billions. What they choose to do with those assets is their business not yours.
They should not have that amount of control, they didn't earn that money themselves, the workers that provide services they facilitate or represent as a CEO are essential, yet they don't get a say in it at all, they're exploited, cogs in a machine.
Nobody has the power to make your functional benefit your entirety.
Didn't remotely claim that, the problem is that's a norm in society, this isn't just going to go away because I believe something really hard, that's the opposite of any realistic skepticism to apply to how society works. Individual desires mean nothing in the broader scheme where the majority just go along with something because they don't think it can be changed or should.
I certainly never said I believed that, if you actually read what I said, it was an observation about ableist problems in society that you appear to not have considered because, shock, you're probably not disabled
Proportionally to what? The profits? So you want a system where the employees only get paid if the company makes a profit? Most will not like your system
Wow, way to utterly strawman what I claimed, you're making this some either/or all or nothing system, I want something where the workers are actually properly compensated and not just haggling or dealing with what they have instead of demanding actual economic equity in terms of what they provide to a company. An employer should never get to just exploit people because the rules say they can, that's unethical
Perhaps they cannot afford to pay them benefits.
Then maybe the problem should be addressed in regards to corporations like insurance companies who create a virtual monopoly and basically extort people in regards to providing their services in a way that benefits them more than those that are utilizing the service. I'm not solely blaming employers, the problem goes far deeper than that
A living wage? In most places, if you are willing to rent a room, rather than an apartment; use public transportation rather than buy a car, only provide for yourself rather than start a family, and buy clothes and furniture in second hand store rather than buy new, minimum wage can be a living wage. And because most minimum wage jobs are part time, you can work 2 jobs; a day job and a night job and get more than 40 hrs per week between the two jobs thus making it easier to make ends meet.
Except, no, that is expecting people to never strive ot be better, which is ironic with your idea that black people are just caught in low expectations and such from society rather than society not having their best interests at heart
Hah, that's not how this works at all, you're still suggesting that people should just deal with a broken system instead of striving to improve it, you are ENABLING the problem by defending it by the kind of exploitative mentality that just blames people for not working hard enough, as if hard work means squat in a plutocratic system where the rich continue to get richer because they have the government in their pocket
Labor isn’t the sole qualifier of human worth, it’s just that that is the only thing some people have to sell; and there is nothing wrong with that.
No, that's entirely wrong, because society should not treat people like they are worthless merely because they cannot have gainful employment if they are truly about trying to help people to enrich society in various ways, even if some ways aren't going to be profitable for a purely capitalist system that you see no problem with only because you are willing to play their game
Yeah; the rich has lobbyists, but so does the middle income and the poor! How do you think the top 1% went from paying 18% of total taxes to nearly 40% in 40 years? Do you think the lobbyists for the rich is responsible for that?
No they don't, you are an utter liar: that isn't lobbyists, that's the constituents who actually care about economic justice instead of special interests. Just because some changes happened doesn't mean there aren't loopholes and technicalities that the 1% can still utilize so they get to continue to hoard the money they can just spend at their leisure while millions of people go hungry, homeless and suffer massively while they continue to grow fat at the top?
