As a society, we have a moral obligation to protect the most vulnerable among us. Evicting families without ensuring they have alternative housing is inhumane and perpetuates cycles of poverty and homelessness. We must prioritize human rights and social justice over profit.

While basic income can provide financial security, it does not address the fundamental need for meaningful employment and social inclusion. A job guarantee ensures that people contribute to society and gain a sense of purpose, which is crucial for overall well-being.

While wealth creation is not inherently bad, an increased emphasis on it can often lead to greater inequality and exploitation. This would undermine leftist agendas, which typically strive for more equitable distribution of resources and power. A focus on human needs and environmental sustainability should be at the core of any social progress.

As a high-income nation, we have historically contributed disproportionately to climate change. It is our ethical responsibility to lead the charge in addressing it. We possess the resources and technology to implement radical changes, setting an example while assisting low- and middle-income countries adapt and develop sustainably.

I believe that establishing rent price controls in high-demand areas is essential to prevent the displacement of low and middle-income residents. Housing is a fundamental human right, and unchecked market forces often lead to inequality and social instability. We must ensure that cities remain accessible for everyone, not just the wealthy.
