It's not though, is it? Given that we in the United States need to earn money for everything rather than have meaningful social welfare programs means that our agency is simply "earn the most amount of money so maybe you can have a few years of peace in your 80s." which I think is the opposite of meaningful agency of one's own life.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoWhat is the alternative offering more meaningful agency?
- deprecative 3y agoIn order to have meaningful agency I'd imagine you'd need to have your basic needs met before you move on. So, be born wealthy and you can have all the agency you like in the US. Everyone else gets the illusion of agency.
