This is and has been for a while, the core of my politics
Just give everyone what they need to survive and thrive. Yes "everyone." Yes "give."

Yep, even people who want me dead for who I am, I want to have what they need to live. And it REALLY fucks with them to tell them that directly.

I have felt this way since reading Michael J. Sandel’s The Tyranny of Merit. The whole idea of “deserve” is incoherent. It’s all moral luck, all the way down! Just be good to people, maybe!

It's a lot better than everyone trying to die with the most stuff.

The thing that really messes me up is that not only is it morally correct, it would make everyone happier, healthier and wealthier, too! The better world for everyone is right there...

Yes! This is why I appreciate seeing your thoughts on my timeline.

I’ve been surviving. I’m not allowed to have enough money to *live*. As in Have A Life. As in Something to Live For. Becoming unhomeless has literally reduced my quality of life; for a given value of quality.
