Well the vibe I am getting from testing22321 is more one of "there should be unconditional support from society". See the points about free education and (supposed) unlimited benefits in Autralia. As said, it's not that I am against them, I just don't see how as a matter of practicality that would work on a societal scale. I know the current situation in the US. So if you want to argue that the US has in general a poor social safety net, find someone who disagrees with you. In my mind, as long as Americans see themselves as "temporarily embarassed millionaires" living in the "greatest country on earth", and keep voting against their own interest, I don't see that changing any time soon. |

The situation in the US is not as you described in your previous comment. That’s why I felt the need to explain the woefully inadequate safety nets and worker protections we have here.
I feel like you’re conflating some things here and oversimplifying poverty/under-employment, but we can just move on. Suffice to say I don’t agree with your assessment of the root causes here.
