humans need large amounts of food and water to survive and thrive
So, are you shooting for a subsistence income level for ALL humans?
I don't know why we should work for 60 hrs/w with no OT compensation to feed the planet when the 1% of Earth's population are hoarding over 35% of global wealth if not more.
Maybe you should talk to them and convince them to give some of that wealth back to the poor so they don't starve to death?
- jsprogrammer 11y agoYou're spinning strawmen. When did I claim any of that? 'Wealth', in the context you speak of it, is an illusion. Your question: >Maybe you should talk to them and convince them to give some of that wealth back to the poor so they don't starve to death? Is non-sensical. A person cannot eat 'wealth', just as one of the other responders cannot eat his employer's bank credits.
- blocktuw 11y ago"Wealth" is what enables those putting in "effort" to trade for others' "effort" in order to sustain oneself. Although nobody can eat "wealth" or his employer's bank credits, one can absolutely trade "wealth" for "efforts". This is the point of currency. Your strawman that "wealth" cannot be eaten is completely false.

It's not a strawman, it's essentially what the person I was responding to claimed: >Maybe you should talk to them and convince them to give some of that wealth back to the poor so they don't starve to death? The real strawman is the specious concept of 'wealth' that is being perpetrated here.
