    “refusing to leave”

    Where, specifically, did they expect her to go? Being thrown out on the streets at 93 is effectively a death sentence.

        Reminder that socialist countries like Cuba or the USSR have historically de jure and de facto guaranteed employment, with worse economic conditions and over a half century ago. Unemployment is a capitalist construct and we can do better than that.

          i think we need to get rid of the mentality that work is a moral obligation.

          what’s the point in having exponential productivity increase if we are all still expected to work full time or starve.

          we could probably just set up a 20 hour week maximum and the economy would still run. just with less profits for the 1%, but they can go fuck themselves with syphilitic cacti.
