Look at most of Europe or Australia as a great example. The fact that we have people in this country having to choose between paying rent and getting their life saving prescriptions is something no other first world country has an issue with. No one should go bankrupt because they get cancer. Look at the infrastructure and high speed rails in Europe as well. They don't have people working full time and falling under the federal poverty guidelines. They don't have an issue with a lacking minimum wage that would be $34/hour in the U.S. of it would have increased with the inflation rate. And that's calculating from when a minimum wage law was first signed into law. That's a statistic that can't be argued.

It's an internal single market with free movement of goods, services, capital, and labor. That's what works. I won't dismiss the fact there are some issues with that model also, but every single economy/government economics is going to have flaws of some nature. Wanna know what absolutely doesn't work? An anarchist society.

I am sick of myself and almost everyone I know who also has a college degree working over 40 hours a week and/or two jobs and still barely making it even without kids and even while living alone/with a roommate splitting the rent with you.

That's what
