We have a social rent system in place for that, it means the government will pay part of the rent. Also if you cant work because you have kids there is a system in place for that too, you receive benefits (which is based on minimum wage).

Basically everyone pays taxes on their wage here to make sure no one has to live on the streets. There is lots of social housing here.

This is exactly why my country subsidizes art so people are still encouraged to make. I guess the US doesn’t have that either.

Personally i think that unless you’re disabled everyone should work. Where I live everyone has basic healthcare, cheap schools and there are lots of unions and workers rights so literally no one has to work more than 32 hours for a basic level of living. If youre disabled you receive wellfare so you dont have to work. Its literally a choice if you live on the streets here.

I have literally no idea why the US has such a horrible and oppressive system when it comes to workers rights, healthcare and schooling. I don’t understand why anyone thinks it’s a good idea to have a two party system. I have no idea why the rich barely pay any taxes there. You have a truly corrupt and inhuman system in place.

Yeah true. But because of all the bad stuff happening in the world my mind immediately goes to illegal influencing (rigging votes etc.). Its honestly quite depressing.

Everyone is still using it. It sucks since i just want everyone to come on piefed/lemmy. I really have no idea what reddit has to do to make people switch. Its kinda like seeing a toxic relationship.

Because we follow the law. No matter how shitty that can be sometimes. The moment you stop following the law you lose credibility. Just look at the braindrain and loss of scientific instances in the USA right now.

Yeah variety is important to a lot of people. I hope you find a job you like.
