What is the purpose of an economic system if not to produce the goods society needs and deliver them to those that need them?







Any system that can't feed it's hungry is not a system worth saving.

After food the biggest necessity is shelter.





Any economic system that produces a surplus of empty luxury apartments while women and children sleep in the streets is morally indefensible.

Have you noticed that not a single billionaire was labelled an “essential worker”?

“What does it profit a man to be able to eat at an integrated lunch counter,” Dr. King asked, “if he doesn’t earn enough money to buy a hamburger?” Today, we are forced to confront the dissonance between our nation’s labeling of workers as “essential” and “heroes” and their limited wages, benefits and ability to organize. Forty-seven percent of nursing, psychiatric and home health aides aren’t offered even a single day of paid sick leave. A million front-line health care workers lack their own health coverage. The median pay for the nursing assistants and orderlies now risking their lives in hospitals full of Covid-19 patients is $14.25 an hour. Only 13 percent of female care workers in homes have any type of retirement plan. Farmworkers doing backbreaking work to feed us clock in at $12 to $14 an hour, and in recent years less than half had health insurance. The pandemic makes it especially hard to grasp why we have for so long undervalued and under-rewarded the contributions of those who take care of our older relatives and children.

Capitalism is built on incentives.

Our system rewards those who move electronic money around and prey on poor people, while punishing those that feed us, clothes us, and care for us (i.e. those who are essential to society).

That's insane.
