    Every corporate employee in the United States could be paid a living wage, be dignified with healthcare

    I’d say every person should have UBI and healthcare regardless of employment status, but I guess your position is a good start.

      Now that you point out the distinction, it’s even more shocking that corporate employees don’t even have this guarantee. Even if you buy into all the puritan work ethic shit… okay… these people are working - and they STILL starve?

      My ideals extend beyond my pragmatism in my comment. UBI for every human being would be terrific.

      I have a medical condition that seems to be cheaper in countries that have socialized healthcare as a non-citizen, than it is here with insurance.

      “We the people” indeed.
