   I will repeat this again until everyone understands.

   The second-best way to get Mutual Aid "beggars" out of your hair is to donate to them so they can survive in this cruel and unequal world.

   The BEST way, however, is to fight for and nurture an egalitarian government with a non-conditional robust social safety net that isn't predicated on forcing poor and underprivileged folk to work for free or starve just for the pleasure and profits of a privileged few.

     @AnthonyJK @falcennial Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I submit Exhibit A: Denmark.

     They have an exceptional financial safety net that ensures that every working person can leave their current job to look for other work they’d prefer, while their basic bills are covered. This allows them to take needed time to find work that’s a good fit rather than feeling pressured to take anything they can get.

     I assume this also pushes businesses as a whole r o offer good wages and benefits because they would need to entice workers to them instead of offering crap wages knowing someone desperate will just have to take it.

     I suspect this may be part of why they’re consistently rated among the happiest countries on the planet.
