You need to learn to insert paragraphs into what you write. It is extremely unpleasant (and difficult) for the eye to follow very long paragraphs. It is also grammatically incorrect, as each new idea has a new paragraph.

You say “when people need help we should definitely help them.”

For 65 of my nearly 70 years, I was told I had a bad attitude, was lazy, and everything that happened to me was my fault. When I was 58, I was diagnosed with an Auditory Processing Disorder, and in my early 60s as autistic – Asperger’s Syndrome. So all you conservatives who wouldn’t help me because I was lazy, etc. got it wrong. I had a lifetime of hell from you, and no help whatsoever.

There is nothing in this world that will ever, ever, ever make me think that people like you have any business telling others that they are lazy, taking advantage of the system, etc. You have no idea what goes in other people’s heads. You are neither a god nor a telepath

It is precisely because you are so wrapped up in your fear of people abusing the system that I have no time for you. Who the hell are you to determine whether someone else is abusing the system? Generally, when people don’t want to work, there is a very good reason. One of the really interesting things is that, internationally 75% to 95% of people hate their jobs. They don’t hate the work. They hate the bosses, the business, etc

I would agree with you that scammers (people like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, etc.) shouldn’t get welfare, but then they are not the ones who need it, are they? They’re busy scamming their workers and scamming consumers.

I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with people who don’t want to work getting a universal basic income. However, continued research in many countries during the past decade as shown that only 2% misuse the funds, and that is only for maximum 2 years. After that, they also start using the extra funds to build decent lives for themselves and their families. Why the fuck do you people have such a problem with providing sufficient resources for people to live? Our world has all the resources necessary to give everybody a good life – if it wasn’t for the billionaire class robbing us blind.

You’re confusing progressives with liberals. It is just monetary policies. Read Wikipedia or any other economic work on what progressivism is. Sure, there are progressives with liberal overtones. I don’t like liberals either.

As for being center, let’s see. You haven’t fixed up climate change. I knew about that in 1970 What have you done about it? You’ve allowed people to become billionaires by rigging the economic system. What have you done about it. You permitted Ronald Reagan to change the system from a mixed economy (democratic socialism) to neoliberalism, and it’s been downhill all the way. Sorry, I have no time for centrists.

It’s sad that progressives frighten you. Without progressives, we stand no hope of fixing climate change, and when the next pandemic comes (3 to 5 years), we’ll be done for. In 80 years, we’ll either be extinct or living in caves.

“Progressives are educated insane.” You don’t know much about American history, do you?

Progressivism at the turn of the 19th century and the 20th century lead to the prosperity of America. When Reagan removed it, that was the start of America beginning to go downhill.
