Do you think that if people were paid reasonably, like if they put in good work and actually got paid a base living wage to survive independently, then people and society would be massively reduced of it’s social and mental issues?

I feel as though if I had been able to make money for working hard I would have been able to avoid nearly all my social and mental health issues.

I don’t intend for this to be about universal income or politics or anything like that.

It just seems like society is knowingly creating hell on earth.

Lack of freedom to exist creates a spiral of hell… Imo.

    It’s Maslows hierarchy of needs, if you have a full stomach, a warm home, and a safe place to sleep at night then you are halfway up the pyramid. Of course there’s loads of other things that can cause issues, but knocking off the main ones is going to improve everyones life even there’s still problems.
