I was once talking with one of my classmates and he said that in the future, there will be universal basic income implemented by entire world. I was not convinced at that time and thought he is just being stupid but given the layoffs happening and massive amount of unemployment, I am thinking about this possibility. What do you say?
If you’re just basing that on the wealth figure I gave, that’s circular logic. They’re a dick because they’re wealthy, so the wealthy are dicks.
If it’s the second paragraph, the Lemmy “upper middle class” worldview grates way more, because it’s actively hypocritical. You said 2 million. People here are not poor or uneducated, and I’m guessing some have or have that coming to them. Most of the rest have more than 0, which is about the actual median.
Guess what! Kind-of-rich people collectively own most of the capital, and yet everyone thinks they’re the proletarian vanguard.
Sounds like you’re a bootlicker to me tbh
I don’t know, would that be convenient for you, whatever class you’re in?
Doesn’t need to be, cause it’s true
