minus-squareUltraGiGaGigantic@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 months agoI am shocked anyone thinks the 1% will let a livable basic income alone. Minimum wage is the OG basic income. “Everyone will have to pay a living wage now!” They said, after negotiating with capitalists. Well how is that $7.25 treating you now wage slaves?
