I mentioned in my other comments that I did support welfare programs as safety nets.

Progress will result in better standards of living for many, and then we take care of the people left behind.

I’m in software - in all likelihood, I will be displaced at some point. But I’ll figure it out (I hope). When I started out, I was writing Perl. Then I had to learn Python.

How about we set up that safety net first for once then?

You don't put on your seat belt during an accident, you don't start driving until it is on.

Who is “we?”

This is taking a weird tone where it sounds like you’re asking me to change society for you, and blaming me for not doing it fast enough when I haven’t heard you mention a thing you’ve done either.

Like I said man, I voted for people who support sensible welfare programs. That’s my contribution.

Stop taking this out on me - if you’re so fired up about it, go get involved and start knocking on doors.
