First of all, I don't know which country you are talking about which put these policies in place. And it does not matter as it does not alleviate the exploitation inherent in capitalism, it only puts a nice coat of paint over it...

good one. Smth else that I find quite funny as well: ppl from the US equating "America" with "USA" as if they are somehow more important than two literal continents
