Yeah, but there's a lot of us who are introverts/misanthropes. I think a better idea would be to slash defense spending and redirect that money to reducing the SS eligibility age to age 50 and Medicare to age 0. Other funds can be had by printing the same amount of money that equals the trade deficit. [I don't mind other countries sending us real goods for green pieces of paper, mind you. ] I'd also delete all government rules that support oligopolies like the inability to get health insurance across state lines, reduce copyright length to 15 years, [take that Micky Mouse!], and open up prescription drug imports [take that Big Pharma], and impose pollution sanctions on cheap goods regardless of source that just go from store to landfill within a year.
Then, there's MMT for tasks that need to be done like super fund cleanups, acid mine drainage cleanup, etc.
There is no economic system that has all of the answers.
Quote:It's a no for me, too. It was also a no for me in 2012, which is why I voted against Obama.
I voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012. Obamacare, while imperfect is a lot better than nothing which is what the Republicans offered. The Republicans still believe in magic unicorns that shit golden bricks. Global Warming is real and joints like Wally World are never going to provide meaningful health insurance for their employees. The retraining as such is a joke. If you're over 50 , a student loan is the kiss of death for one's finances and age discrimination still exists. Maybe we need a "Joneser lives Matter" or somesuch.
