☝🏽 We see some good points in communism and anarchism, without veering to either extreme.

The ACA was the catalyst to many people seeing their hours cut, and those that did get healthcare were often stuck with HMOs that hired doctors directly instead of letting people find independent providers.

The ACA was designed so that people would get a warped idea of what public healthcare was, and ask for a repeal. The whole thing was an OP.

Implementing actual universal healthcare, like every other developed nation, was the right answer. Now that is harder than ever because most people aren't policy experts and this has made it harder to explain what good healthcare actually is.

The wealthy don't just put it under the mattress.

If they do some big ego projects, the people they hire take that money and increase their own consumption.

If they park it in investments, some company takes the capital injection and increases their spending.

All that money chases labor, and labor can be reapportioned to meet different needs. A billionaire can buy a slightly bigger yacht with their share of the Fed printing. That bigger yacht needs a little more labor, and someone ends up building more cabinets for the interior rather than building housing for the poor.

The billionaire doesn't blame themselves for inflation, and someone at the bottom can't figure out why suddenly a full time job doesn't pay for housing. But that Fed decision moved labor from benefiting the poor, to benefiting the 1%.
