Basic income is government welfare for the basic necessities of life, which is food, clothing, shelter and healthcare for those who don't have any assets of value. Some people complain that they have no money for the lifestyle they are accustomed to. Some people complain about fixed incomes not being enough while they live in a fully paid off house worth a half a million dollars. It's time for businesses to step to the plate and quit gouging the consumers and offer more loss leaders or more discounts for customer retention. We do have basic income and if this is not enough then it's up to the people that want more money to take advantage of the opportunities out in the real world.

Who sets the price of living GoreObessess? 😉

The consumer sets the price. Once the price is to high , the consumer stops buying;)

If price of living is too high , Start making your own food and shelter. It's that simple.


lmfao

Bernie Sanders says 99 percent of 'new' income is going to top 1 percent

"What we're seeing, Chris, right now is that for 40 years, the American middle class has been disappearing. Millions of people are working longer hours for lower wages despite a huge increase in technology and productivity," Sanders said. "

Ohhhh!.. Is that what Bernie says?.. Well, if it's Bernie, it must be a fact and then some

PS - Middle class is shrinking due to the gubmint perpetually gouging them through taxes

So basically if some cash stumbles onto me then I should put a little aside and then play the markets hard and the resulting crash will make my other money worth a whole lot more?
I would prefer the acreage with no phone coming in and a big shop, definitely a big shop as the alternative is finding chat places that I find 'interesting' and so far that seems to be more fun for me that others.
