That would be in equity, not in cash, but it would mean each person would have secure housing, a secure retirement, reliable transportation, and reliable healthcare

Imagine how much less stressful life would be if the average person didn’t have to worry about paying rent and whether or not they will retire at the end of their life.

I work in mental health and I guarantee you a lot of mental illness is not “mental illness” but resource management issues masquerading as such

"That sounds horrible, we can't make money in those conditions" is what the people standing in the way would say.

It's a damn shame they won't be around to see what happens to their children if this keeps up.

All that "generational wealth" isn't going to go where they think it is.

Oh nah, I'm convinced some of them will definitely get got by their own private security forces. Whatever they pay them, it's not enough to stop someone saying "hey if we drop this guy and take his hands for fingerprints, I'm betting we could withdraw an ass load of cash and disappear before anyone knew."
