According to the debate, they had their reasons. But still -- when one hundred and eighty six nations say one thing, and two say another, you have to wonder about the two.

So, first off, what exactly is the most important thing people buy? It's food, and it'd water. So free food is the next best thing after universal basic income, and is in itself a form of universal income. Second, you say that it's not rich people and corporations that put us into this situation, and I just want to know where you got this idea, because it's not poor people who established a capitalist society, or artificially inflated the price of basic needs, causing people to give up less necessary items because they couldn't afford both housing and food. It's also not poor people who decided that the minimum wage shouldn't be livable. All of those things where done by rich people who were born into the right families and didn't work for a single day in their lives. So tell me again how this is poor people's fault?
