    Now that they control all three houses, they can make it happen if they wanted to. Do you think they would and if not, what would be their excuse?

      In order to live off of one person’s income that person either needs to earn a shit ton of money or prices needs to come down significantly. That’s not something anyone can just make happen like that.

        They could easily pass legislation that guarantees a universal basic income so that everyone could afford the basic necessities. That would all but eliminate poverty in America. Why wouldn’t they make that happen?

          No, I’m sure it’s probably that easy and they simply refuse to do so because they’re evil. I wish Lemmy would run the world so we’d have all things sorted out in no time.

            Do you think they’ll give massive tax breaks to billionaires instead? Or do you think they can be negotiated with to provide for all of America?
