Some people say economics should only about science, and that other economic theories lack scientific credence or vigour, but people are not machines, and so we need a humane, more people friendly, economic system.
Hungry people would get fed if we had a Job Guarantee, as there are plenty of people who want more work who could help the needy, and there is plenty of food being wasted in our society that could be salvaged for them.
What I like about the Job Guarantee is that it can help bring the community back. People needn't be alone.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Army veteran Eugene Milligan is 75 years old and blind. He uses a wheelchair since losing half his right leg to diabetes and gets dialysis for kidney failure.
And he has struggled to get enough to eat.
Earlier this year, he ended up in the hospital after burning himself while boiling water for oatmeal. The long stay caused the Memphis vet to fall off a charity’s rolls for home-delivered Meals on Wheels, so he had to rely on others, such as his son, a generous off-duty nurse and a local church to bring him food.
“Many times, I’ve felt like I was starving,” he said. “There’s neighbors that need food too. There’s people at dialysis that need food. There’s hunger everywhere."

ReplyDeletelol yes indeed ... we're certainly not going to be "winning!" until we get rid of morons like you and KV here who think a guy in a wheelchair with no legs 80 years old all problems are going to be solved by forcing him to get a guaranteed job...
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't mean that, I mean people without work could help here.
DeleteThanks for pointing out it could be misread.
DeleteThe Basic Income would be better for people like him.
"and there is plenty of food being wasted in our society"
