Finland ended homelessness with a housing first strategy that gave people apartments before they secured employment
Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days
True work life balance
Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can’t afford food or healthcare.

So true. He cut the top rate from 70% to 28%. If billionaires were paying 70%, or anything close to that we could provide healthcare for all and still have a surplus each year.
Also, why is the estate tax exemption tied to inflation while the minimum wage is not? #Plutocracy

Wasn't Reagan also the name of the girl from the movie "The Exorcist"?
The demon must have jumped into his pre-MAGA soul after the priest fell from the steps & died thus creating the first MAGA

Reagan was a monster. It's crazy how so many people look back fondly as if he was some benevolent grandpa figure and not a devil intent on destroying social safety nets and bleeding the working class for the benefit of the 1%.

Reagan waged war against the middle class & working people. He started taxing unemployment & social security. Voodoo economics is what propelled the billionaire class. The wealthy & corporations have not paid their fair share in taxes for decades. He busted unions and more. Rethugs perpetuate this.

When I was 12 I realized that a world in which people told the truth, were kind, worked so that all could fairly reach for their dreams, would be a really good place in which to live. So I focused my life on doing what I could to make this reality. I don’t think these 2,900 billionaires are trying.

The only real answer is universal basic income and we need you talking about it. Yes, shorter weeks are good, but that doesn't benefit everyone equally. Neither does a job guarantee or retraining. UBI is the dividend that we all deserve as creators of the data AI was trained on.

When will Dems or anyone be brave enough to assert that the U.S. has to move towards being a social democracy? At scale it has challenges but not in comparison to our current nightmare of an economy, health care system, tax structure and wealth inequity.
And yes that’s inequity, not inequality…

31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.
I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

It's the only realistic response to AI, and every single person voting no in your poll either doesn't understand it very well or opposes the idea based on dogmatic ideas or fears of being taxed more than they receive.
