No mention of providing for the basics of existence. Of course it's an economic post by someone far removed from such concerns beyond advocating for policy from their extremely high tower built on inequality.

The pitchforks wouldn't be sharpened nearly as often if the basic humanities in first world nations were minimally guaranteed: food, water, shelter, medical care.

But the US isn't really a first world country. It seems to be straddling the boundary with the old second world, particularly the USSR: military power projection, effectively a single party with respect to the politically connected/rich, vast inequality, functional contempt for the common man despite propaganda.

It does have food on the shelves, unless the paper thin warehousing of the modern supply chain is disrupted.
