Under Capitalism we are never allowed to advocate for collective solutions to the problems facing society.

I saw a TikTok asking how people are affording to live rn, honestly I think we aren't. We are surviving. Choosing which bills to pay, what treats are worth it, sharing, pocketing, just doing our best. CEOs/ government peeps are out of touch and I can't wait to enjoy their pancreas fresh out of the air fryer 🥰

#eat the rich #no but really #i am gonna feast on the flesh of ceos #i dream about putting my teeth in em #its a shame i have lil bunny teeth instead of lil sharp flesh rippers #no cyber monday #fuck ceos #universal health coverage #universal income #maybe a fucking black Friday sale on rent and groceries you fucking bastards

You Have to Earn The Right To Live

Nobody ever has to die again from houselessness, famine, poverty or lack of adequate medical care.

How?

💗Universal Housing

💗Universal Healthcare

💗Free College

💗Universal Basic Income

Specifically:

💗Increase personal income taxes to 70% to 85%+ for upper middle class and high net worth individuals to fund the above.

They would have less so that others could literally live and not die. Theres nothing unfair about that.

💗Increase personal income taxes to 75%+ for individual millionaires and billionaires (Elon Musk, Bezos, Vince McMahon, Roger Goodell, Mindgeek CEO, Waltons, Hiltons, CEOs, professional athletes, actors and actresses, singers, Hollywood studio heads, record label executives, etc.).

They would still have so much without other people being forced to go without to the point where thousands and thousands every year are dying needlessly where housing, basic medical care and food would have saved their lives.

The US has the number one economy in the world -- the money is there to prevent these senseless deaths, it is just being hoarded and passed down generationally to stay within these families by a select few, by the 1%.

People dont have to die of houselessness or preventable illnesses or because they couldnt afford needed surgery or from hunger.

Look at all the abandoned buildings that sit empty that could be converted into free housing. Look at abandoned shopping malls.

Look at all the food we throw away unused in our fridges and all the food that restaurants throw out from ridiculously oversized portions that guarantee needless and senseless waste.

We have the money, resources, food, medicine, doctors, land and building space to address these issues and stop these preventable deaths today.

There is no scarcity issue in the United States when it comes to these resources!

Instead, capitalism is a zero sum game and a death cult where you have to "earn" the right to live -- thats pro-life for ya.

You have to "earn" the "right" to be housed and sheltered, to be protected from the elements, to not sleep on a sidewalk, on the gutters, under a bridge, near a trashcan, defenseless and possibly alone, open to being raped, abducted, robbed, beaten, kidnapped, assaulted and murdered with no protections.

Many houseless shelters are unsafe, especially for women, overcrowded and at capacity.

You have to "earn" the "right" to be given food and sustenance, to literally be allowed to eat, to live.

Most Americans live paycheck to paycheck and layoffs happen consistently in cycles to increase shareholder returns, they are never necessary at the rate and volume we see where thousands are laid off for a temporary reduction in the rate of increase of profits year over year -- not a decrease in profits, a reduction in the rate that the profits increased.

Dips and lulls are to be expected in any business.

To get rid of thousands of employees with decades of experience, knowledge of the company, culture, processes, philosophy, management style that is literally irreplaceable is incredibly shortsighted and reactionary but they do it anyway for a temporary pop -- stocks temporarily increase, the board and shareholders are temporarily sated, they wait a few years then do it all over again, destroying thousands of lives, careers and their own companys intellectual cache, culture and morale but they dont care because of the pursuit of the almighty dollar.

Thats more of a cult than Jim Jones ever was. If thats not drinking the Kool-Aid, what is?

Employees know they are completely expendable under capitalism so they live in fear hoping that they've kissed enough ass and sucked enough dick for clout that they wont be laid off and when they inevitably are, they turn into those creepy people on LinkedIn, smiling through their tears on their profile pictures, profusely thanking and sucking off the company that just kicked them in the teeth. Never bite the hand that feeds.

💗Increase corporate tax for Fortune 500 companies, FAANG, big agriculture, big pharma, big box retail, top banks & financial services company, big 4 consulting to 50%+ to fund the above.

These are multi-billion and even trillion dollar companies. They would still have the money to innovate, create, expand, compete in their industries and pay their employees. The money is there to fund these programs.

💗Stop relying as a society on people "giving to charity", non-profits and churches to not fill the gap that the socialist programs listed above could completely close.

Right now, everything is up to chance and the individual.

If you dont find a soup kitchen or houseless shelter or join a church, if you die you die, thats on you, thats your ass -- you should have worked harder.

Noone should have to look for any of this, it should be freely provided to all citizens in a communal society that has businesses that generates profits but then distributes those profits to do the most good.

Capitalism scoffs at this and says, we are businesses not charities. Its for profit, not non-profit.

It doesnt have to be zero sum or one of the other.

We could embrace innovation and competition while not letting people die needlessly in the streets.

It doesnt have to be like this.

Theres enough to go around for everyone without anyone in the US having to needlessly die.

Outside of the US, if foreign aid went directly to non-profits like Doctors Without Borders and not to corrupt governments that hoard the money and dont give it to their citizens, world poverty, hunger, starvation, malnutrition, houselessness would be eliminated, malaria nets & basic medicine could be provided, needed surgeries, clean drinking water.

1% of people of the world hold 99% of the wealth.

It doesnt have to be this way!

A few weeks ago my 8 month old took a tumble down 9 wooden stairs landing on the cement basement floor. He’s ok, but this resulted in a call to 911, an ambulance ride to the hospital, and 6 hours of monitoring to make sure he didn’t have a brain bleed.

I live in Canada and today I got the bill for that.

I can’t imagine what I’d be looking at if I lived in the US.

Hey guys!

Friendly reminder that the Affordable Care Act marketplace assistance isn't actually very helpful.

The "subsidy" is just an advance on your tax refund. That means that if you make less than expected, you have to pay the difference.

The less you make, the more you pay. The more you need help, the less you get.

It's actually just another program that says fuck poor people.

Thanks for coming to my bed talk.

Hey what's up, I'm Claudia, I'm t1d, I live in a country with universal healthcare, and I think we should put less blame on non-diabetic ig sport influencers who use cgm and more on the american health insurance system for making diabetics pay for life-saving medication, therapy and devices that should be free and accessible for them in the first place, thanks for listening to my ted talk, peace out.

me when i wake up

btw did u know that your government is supposed to work for you and that it's entire reason for existing is to ensure that everyone's fundamental rights are upheld? These rights include food, water, shelter, medicine, clothes, safety, education, infrastructure, child care, and much much more! Sounds like a lot? Not at all, that's what taxes are for! All of this is possible but only if the rich pay their fair share of taxes and the government is dedicated to spending those taxes properly and effectively!

I fucking hate insurance companies. Why does some fucking desk jockey get to decide what medication I can take? If there was any justice in the world every single one of them should be charged with practicing medicine without a license. They don't want to cover a medication that I know actually works because I've taken it because it's too expensive, so they want me to keep trying a bunch of other medications, many of which I've already tried and failed. Private insurance companies should burn to the fucking ground. I'd bring marshmallows.

While I'm at it, fuck the pharmaceutical companies too! They need to be regulated so they can't fucking price gouge people that need those medications to live and/or improve their quality of life. They shouldn't be able to hold a monopoly on a medication and prevent generics from being produced for years and years on end. Capitalism has NO PLACE in Healthcare. And fuck these CEOs making billions off of sick and disabled people's pain and suffering. Fuck them for allowing sick and disabled people to DIE because they make life saving drugs so fucking expensive that many people can't afford them.

If I didn't have supplemental insurance through a government program I would be literally fucked. Just one of the many medications that I'm on costs almost DOUBLE my rent for a 30 day supply. I've been on it for close to a decade and there is STILL no generic version. If I didn't have assistance I would never be able to afford it. It's fucking criminal. And I'm one of the LUCKY ones. So many people are not able to get assistance.

Universal Healthcare NOW.
