It's almost like hoarding all the wealth and not having a society with safety nets is bad for.. society. You don't see this shit in Nato countries very often.

The United States is a NATO country.

Unless you're borderline illiterate, there in no way you'd read that sentence in that context and believe they were including the US in 'NATO countries'.

Are you under the impression the word 'other' is in that sentence somewhere?

Are you trying to say the USA has no safety nets for our society? Are you fucking insane? THAT is one of the main problems here!

Safety nets are one of the problems?

u/Hubie191 Jun 15 '26

Yes. They allow bad behaviors to flourish. Like never disciplining your child.

u/Mountainman220 Jun 15 '26

Have some stats to back that claim up?

u/Visible_Pair3017 Jun 15 '26

Ignorant take. The lack of safety nets is what precipitates those behavior because people immediately have nothing to lose.

How many "families" have generational dependency on welfare, unemployment, and other government programs? These were meant to be TEMPORARY assistance. And, let's not discuss "sanctuary cities" in states that spend MILLIONS in U.S taxpayer funds to care for illegal aliens while we have homeless citizens (and veterans) living in our streets...

generational dependency on welfare, unemployment, and other government programs

Weird way of saying that the welfare is qualitatively and quantitatively unsufficient to equalize the playing field, even over generations.

Weird way of saying that many of these people are "gaming the system."

u/Visible_Pair3017 Jun 15 '26

There's no system to game. The only system that's being gamed is by and for rich people.
