Want to hear something weird?

I actually think it should be really easy for a company to fire someone, for whatever reason they want to.

And I think we should have social services that make you not fear for your life to be unemployed. Free education. Free health care. Basic Income on top of that.

But maybe I'm just completely nuts.



Sure, I'm all for that. But as long as we have this system where we want corporations to be responsible for citizens' welfare instead of the government, we should make them step up to the plate and actually do it.


Encouraging an attitude that corporations can be responsible for citizens' welfare is only going to exacerbate the problem. Governments will only continue to get away with ignoring citizens' welfare if everyone just accepts it as a fact of life.
