Now I just need to figure out which crimes would get me life in Norway without hurting anyone. Maybe that's not a bad backup retirement plan to be honest...
Or be like me and try to do such a deed then realize your bad aim in video games carry over IRL, then you get shot dead by their security and go to some purgatory with this moment replayed forever, reminding you how much of a failure you were.
The only reason I don't want to try is because if I miss, its gonna be so embarassing, I don't even wanna thinkg about it.
General strike in the US seems like less of an impossibility year by year
Just restating some of the greatest hits:
Universal healthcare
Universal education through university level or trade school
At least a month pto annually
Parental leave for births
Guaranteed sick leave
32hr new full time threshold before overtime
Only public, equal funds for elections, no PACs/dark money/donations, no lobbyist bribes
Any elected official over a certain level cannot engage in trading of individual stocks or own businesses, dump it all in an index fund or hand off management to someone else they cannot contact without a mediator and recording, immediate expulsion & no longer able to hold office when found in violation
No billionaires/oligarchs, anyone with earnings and assets over a billion should be taxed at 100% and assets redistributed
I'd recommend a longer full time week. If the full time week is too short, many people well rely on overtime for their salary. This completely destroys the benefits of some of your other points, since you can't do overtime during vacations, parental leave, sick leave, etc.
Overtime should not be the norm if you want a good social/financial security.
Edit: part time job should of course always be possible if your revenue allows you to work shorter weeks
Campaign finance reform under 7 would allow further reforms to follow, without those regulatory capture and bribery are legal and prevent any other electoral reforms benefiting the working class.
@ #9; Whoa there. 100% is unreasonable. Still there's room to start at a hard 90% at about 250 million and then incrementally scale until the tax is say, about 95-97% by about a billion.
Unfortunately you cannot tax anyone 100%; that would ultimately be unfair and demotivating and only motivate corruption to avoid the tax
Unfortunately you won't die with us, you'll die much sooner, not choking on a lack of oxygen or dying of dehydration.
We need more elders like those in Japan who volunteered to clean up nuclear waste because they wouldn't have to live with the long-term side effects of being exposed to radiation.
As elders, y'all wouldn't have to live as long in jail ÂŻ\(ă)/ÂŻ
When you take away people's reason to live, their time, their hobbies, their ability to raise a family, their loved ones, you make those people very desperate...
For now. Give it a few decades when the effects of climate change start forcing people out of their homes, cause widespread crop failure, kill thousands with heatwaves and storms, etc.
If you're choice is between
losing your home, starving to death, or in some way dying in the streets
Or
losing your home, starving to death, or in some way dying in the streets after holding those responsible to account a la the adjuster
I mean even thinking that that'd be the actual situation for me where I live in few decades vs. spending those few decades and rest of my life in American prison, it's going to be a very easy decision for me
I mean, come on. Uncertain future some decades ago vs the certainty that I'm rotting in an American prison for the rest of my life starting now. Easiest decision of my life
I did electrical work at a state prison in Nebraska a couple times. Most of the inmates had tablets with semi restricted internet access. So they still get the cat pics
Why not both? I have a strong suspicion the climate wars are going also be a class wars. Although, if the common folk won't, getting jailed for war crimes against the rich may never be prosecuted đ¤ˇââď¸
