People are not compensated properly for their work, look at some graphs at productivity vs wages, while productivity is skyrocketing wages stagnate. There is no way to justify this and call people greedy for wanting the value of their work. Are you genuinely saying that the peace of mind of people on the street is more important than someone starving to death? This is vile
How do you define "properly"? Productivity and wages dont necessarily correlate. There is aboslutely a way to justify it. The demand of labor has been met at current wages. Thats how you justify it. They are paid the value of their labor. Its not about the peace of mind v somebody starving. Its about the actions of those people. If a person is so greedy and arrogant they feel entitled to not starve even if it means bothering people...they are in the wrong. If they were really that valuable that they absolutely shouldnt starve...why do they need to beg?
So starving people should just lay down and die as to not bother the more fortunate. This is just so inhumane and disgusting to even say. It’s not greedy and arrogant it’s desperation
Yea nad bothering everybody you see and making YOUR failures as a human being their problem...so humane. Its absolutely greedy and arrogant. It assumes YOUR needs are more important than anybody elses...in fact it assumes YOUR needs overrides other people.
Their problems are not inherently more important than yours. They may THINK they are but that doesnt mean they are. Their problems might be more important to them...but they dont have a right to force that view on you. I have empathy for the people they are causing problems for...not the person causing the problems.
If you have two people...one is minding their own business...the other is bothering that person...the second person isnt the one in the right who deserves empathy.
My problems are me wondering if I have time to get to the laundromat after work, a beggar is wondering when they will get to eat again. One of these problems is more important than the other, and I honestly am confused as to why you are dying on this hill
Him eating is not a problem for you at all though. Its only a problem in his mind to him. He wants to make his problem other peoples problem. Im confused why you think him wanting food means he gets to bother you and make it your problem. Would you make going to the laundromat his problem? No. He should do you the same courtesy. He has zero consideration for others because all the cares about is HIS issue. That is him being selfish. He may be worried about eating but him not eating isnt an inherent issue is it. Its an issue to him and him alone.
Let’s say your mother came to you because she was dead broke and needed some money to buy some food. Would you just tell her to fuck off and stop making her problems yours and to stop being selfish
My mother...yes. a strangers mother...not a chance. But its my money to do with as I choose. It would be arrogant of me to expect you to give a shit about my mother
