@KimPerales also because the #USA normalizes acumulating #debt than demanding #LivingWages.
But yeah the kind of #deficit spending that is common in the US is unheard of in the #EU!
@munin @heretohinder Even aside from #UBI people in places that have actual #SocialSecurity, #LivingWages as #MinimumWage and #PTO as well as #ParentalLeave are more happy even if the number on their paycheck is lower (even after adjusting for purchasing power, taxes, benefits, currency conversion, etc.)…
Maybe it's because #money isn't what drives them!
5. #Livingwages.
Polling in the #US shows that 72% of people support a living #wage. In the #UK, 87% believe that #companies should pay a living wage if they can afford to.

Here is a list of studies, surveys and polling results that shed some light on popular perceptions of post-capitalist ideas. I will seek to update this list periodically. Support for post-capitalism 1. A survey shows that a majority of people around the world (56%) agree with the statement

On June 19, 1865, enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their #freedom—two years after the #EmancipationProclamation. #Juneteenth is a reminder that #justice delayed is justice denied.
Today, we honor the resilience of all who have fought for freedom. But we also recognize that the struggle is ongoing for #truefreedom: #economicjustice, #votingrights, #healthcare, #livingwages, and #dignityforall.
Absolutely.
If you aren't paying your employees living wages, you're nothing but a plantation owner in drag who is cosplaying "business owner" because you're incompetent and/or greedy. You are a sh!t person.
People have a basic human right to living wages for each hour of their life that they have to give to your business. They can't get that hour back, and you don't deserve it.
You don't deserve to live off of other people's work.

I can't understand how christianity came up with the obviously false claim that people's lives don't have value unless they're making money for some corporation.
Predatory capitalism is a sin, not a virtue.
And like the rest of christianity's disgusting beliefs, this one needs to be flushed down the toilet.
Instead, christians are doubling down on efforts to kill off the elderly, disabled, the poor, and unemployed who are "useless eaters."
It's vile.
