Our entire economic system is run under the assumption that a certain number of people MUST stay unemployed.

[Scustin Bieburr]

Unemployment is meant to stay at a certain percentage in order to avoid inflation. The central bank and the government assume that if everyone had a job, inflation would go up. They then take measures to make sure unemployment does not go down. They are literally sacrificing a certain number of people under the assumption that if unemployment was at zero, employers would raise prices on things and spending would get out of control and somehow devalue the currency.

The government COULD do a federal jobs guarantee and ensure that anyone who us able bodied and can work is offered a job at a wage they set based off what one would need to be able to live in the city where they are, or pay to relocate them to a struggling community where they can pump the economy up with their wages.

They did something similar under the new deal during the depression. Massive pieces of American infrastructure was completed as a result of the jobs program.

Is that segment negroes ?

 

[Kooley_High]

I believe the number is 3% or 4%, but Imo you have to really try to not get employed.

They prefer it that way, yes. If anyone is going to be sacrificed they'll make sure it's the people they don't like anyway.

The black unemployment rate isn't a big deal to these law makers so long as the national average stays within that preferred percentage.

They literally do not care if you haven't been able to find a job. Full employment is not a political goal of any party. Even Trump who tells those suckers that are actually falling for his bullshyt that he's bringing jobs back. No the fukk he ain't. He's just going to cut taxes for the rich again which is stupid because the rich don't spend as much as people who didn't have money before but suddenly got a job or stimulus money.

Rich people buy assets that are already valuable and accumulate in value over time like houses, luxury cars, jets, yachts, stock and land. Poor people spend their money on groceries, entertainment, rent, and put it in the bank who can then take their cut. It's objectively better for poor and middle class people to get tax cuts and employment.

But the people running our government don't care about that very obvious fact that is played out over and over again whenever people get stimulus checks or a surge in employment.

Underemployment is the bigger issue and has been for a while.

Also that the average person carries a certain amount of debt.

Here’s what they’re not saying…

They brought you neegras over here to be FREE labor and never intended for you to be anything else. It’s why the 13th amendment allows slavery if you’re convicted of a crime.

The game is rigged for you to throw your hands up in frustration after doing all the right things and ending up a slave after taking one of the short cuts they dangle in your face through music and entertainment.

It’s why we’re profiled, arrested and sentenced differently than others. With that in mind, find a legal shortcut and build your family up to be mostly self reliant.

Underemployment is the bigger issue and has been for a while.

As long as someone isn't collecting unemployment payments they just assume that person is working.

The number of homeless would shrink dramatically if the government just said "fukk it, you're guaranteed a job doing *something* for the federal minimum wage"

You can pay those people a relocation stipend to send them to places that are desperate for people to occupy their housing and spend money in their banks and local businesses. Those people working under a government jobs program will then have recent work experience they can use to transition to a higher paying job.

It's harder to get a job if you've been unemployed for months or years. There are millions of women who were stay at home moms but are now recent divorcees that are trying to break into the job market. Child poverty would decrease significantly if those women got government jobs and worked them until they could transition back into the private workforce.

And those women would be injecting billions of dollars into local daycare, grocery stores, banks(starting savings accounts for their kids) etc.

Lol yeah I kinda talked in a circle there.

 

[Seoul Gleou]

the rich are worried about the replacement rate for a reason

 

[Spence]

Not too worried about AI taking jobs when the entire economic system is predicated on us “buying shyt” constantly. Nobody has any income to “buy shyt”? Crash

 

[Ghost Utmost]

You're realizing the reasons people have tried other systems like Communism.

Capitalism requires an underclass. Basically it's a sort of prison for those who don't hustle hard enough. Those in the underclass CAN rise up and plenty do. Those in the middle and upper class can possibly fall into the underclass.

All designed to force everyone into the rat race.

Communism is great on paper, but in reality, the upper class still hordes the wealth. Difference being, there no possible way to rise up by strictly hustling harder.

Especially those who are habitual consumers. That's like having your cake and eating it too for the upperclass.

You are poor and you keep buying depreciating assets them us cyclically. You will always be stuck.

The people running those companies don't see that because they're not employees that worked their way up and value the brand and the long term viability of the organization. They're outsiders who were hired to pump the stock price by acquiring competitors, firing staff, and literally engaging in any manipulation tactic to make the company look more profitable than it actually is, so private equity could by shares that will be tied to millions of pension funds.

theyre in it for themselves and its "fukk the workers, fukk the company, fukk the economy. I got mine." As they dip with their golden parachute.

I don't believe an actual communist revolution is possible. Capitalism first needs to collapse, or the people within the country need to take the means of production through working within the system(unions, co-ops, STRONG worker protections and unemployment insurance+jobs guarantee) communism can't be forced onto a people who are used to authoritarianism all you'll do is just give them more authoritarianism which is what they know.

Look at Russia. Went from an authoritarian king and his court to an authoritarian premiere and his politburo to an authoritarian "president" and his cabinet. Their culture is authoritarian so their politics will reflect that. They'll use all the branding of democracy and freedom but anyone can clearly see that's bullshyt they don't actually believe in.

People love to glaze the founding fathers of America but they weren't working class farmers. These were aristocrats who wanted only white men of a certain age with MONEY and land to have the vote. If you brought Thomas Jefferson here today he'd IMMEDIATELY pivot to maga Republicansism just off the strength of the fact that a black man was president. That mf believed in race science and used it when the French and other people pressed him on his owning of slaves. He had a certain lifestyle that he didn't want to give up and worked backwards to justify it, even believing in bullshyt as long as it meant he could keep his slaves.

Hes the exact same type of guy as elon musk who despite owning an electric car company is supporting a party that doesn't even believe in climate change. He wants those tax breaks and for his billionaire lifestyle to be improved with government protection.
