What an out-of-touch Boomer. Even many famous actors acknowledge they are extremely lucky. Without at least the tiniest dose of humility you become entitled. Which is whatever. But when you apply that standard to everyone, it's absolute nonsense. Not everyone had the money or connections to be set up for life. And not everyone should have the traditional "print money, afford any house and lifestyle you want" style career.
But they all deserve to have affordable housing, as well as healthcare. That's being empathetic and actually contributing something as a human being...
Hard disagree. We created the predatory system that categorizes humans' worth by how much money they generate. We can change the system so that any worker can afford a real home. Printing money? That's fake. Humans are worth more than their intellect/skillset/education level/resumé.
I said "traditional", but that apparently didn't convey enough. I mean like the "solid" wealthy careers many parents and grandparents wanted their children to have. So no, everyone should not be a doctor/lawyer/business executive etc. Not because they deserve less, but because society needs people doing all the other jobs... But compensate them fairly.
The highest paid jobs in society should be teachers, farmers, medical staff. Pay people for what they are actually contributing to the future of society.
Sure, you're not wrong. I also believe in a Universal Basic Income, but neither is going to happen, especially not here in the US.
