    With human rights on the chopping block I wish the average person was less greedy tbh.

    Don’t get me wrong, cost of living are important issues, just maybe not more important than fighting fascism and climate change.

      I think greed is just human nature but people need to be logical about it. Raising the floor for society benefits the average person a shit ton more than raising the ceiling.

      It’s possible that the people who want to reduce the cost of living are barely scraping by.

      Edit: also, the number of people I know who have been laid off in the last few years and are still looking for a job is unprecedented. I think it’s fair to say that all of the things listed are important, but when you’re unemployed or otherwise unable to put food on the table, that can adjust how you might feel about priorities 💔
