OTTAWA - The government's fiscal watchdog says a guaranteed basic income program at the federal level could cut poverty rates in Canada by up to 40 per cent.
These people would mostly be buying food and that’s mostly what people are scared to see increase in price when it wouldn’t, groceries would just make even more profit.
Apparently you aren’t smart enough to figure it out
We have more than enough arable land to feed everyone on earth.
And to buy more land costs…to ship further costs…to ship more costs…
India buys an unbelievable amount of fertilizer from Russia just so they can grow foods.
Droughts are going to be ever more popular due to climate change
Food prices are only as low as they are due to slavery
And since you don’t get it land and fertilizer are finite. You can’t go to another country and just take it, so if that arable land isn’t within your borders it might as well not exist
We waste about a third of the food we produce.
Irrelevant to the topic
Also, I hope you realize that you’re saying it’s ok to let some people starve, right?
You need to reread because I very clearly said the opposite
100% relevant, we can feed more people that suddenly have the money to buy food they couldn’t before just by wasting less of what we produce, meaning we don’t need to exploit more land than we do now, impact on production is nil, impact on groceries is positive.
So your argument is we don’t produce more food, people just buy what is there regardless of age or defects because now they can pay full price for it even though that food is currently discounted and still doesn’t sell
as an environmentalist I disagree because resources are finite
But ultimately it’s not an excuse to let billionaires continue exploiting people
These people would mostly be buying food and that’s mostly what people are scared to see increase in price when it wouldn’t, groceries would just make even more profit.
You are still wrong but again, it’s not an excuse to not do this
Funny how when we increase minimum wage that’s exactly what happens though
Imagine you have a garden, you can feed yourself off it
Now add one more person, you can no longer feed everyone off that garden
That’s before we get into soil deterioration, but I am sure you’re smart enough to figure out why you were wrong
