People buy whatever they need to live, but most companies sell to other companies, and that dictates what they can afford to pay their employees. Of course humans make up the bottom layer of purchasing, but overall, humans are just cogs, unfortunately, in the machine, and not usually the most important cogs. Something needs to be done to put people at the forefront by acknowledging the fact that we all want to better our lives, feel happiness, comfort, and not have to worry every moment about what could go wrong. My point is (in business jargon) there's a lot of potential for improvement.

When I say people should have basic needs taken care of, Republicans always say I must be socialist, but I think that people need basic needs, goes without saying, otherwise people would just be living on the streets. Republicans are sadistic in that they think people living in fear is somehow necessary.
