“if you’re working a full time job you should be able to afford to live on your own and have access to food and transportation” gonna be real with you brother. everyone deserves this. Not just people working 40 hrs a week
people inherently deserve to have a roof over their heads and to eat and live comfortably. not tied to whatever work they do or do not do. Shocking, i know
I'm not trying to be confrontational or anything. I've seen posts like these a hundred times before and I never understood the basis for this claim.
Why do you think people inherently deserve all of this? Why do you think people who it's something inherent to humans, some sort of rights we're born with, and not providing this is someone a breach of those inherent rights?
Don't get me wrong, I think we should help people, I'm not against the idea itself, it's just that this argument always seems a bit odd to me.
If people don't work for things, they don't get them. That is the natural state of things, just that now you don't have to do all or even most of the work yourself, you just specialize in a certain field and let others cover the other fields. But never did it happen that the universe somehow delivered all necessities that you need to live and more. It's never been a inherit right that modern society warped or something. People don't "deserve" property and all just by rights of people alive.
Again, I think it's the moral thing to do, sure. It's what we should do. But because it's not right to let people suffer if you can help it, not because everyone deserves everything just because they happen to be born, and deserve the world makes it so that they live a comfortable life.
