    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.
