This Democratic Presidential Candidate Wants To Decriminalize Sex Work

Your country is even worse off than I thought. If both sides can't see what's actually causing this divide, then you won't be able to come up with a solution. Just temporary fixes. There are no other candidates seriously talking about automation, which is the root cause of the political divide between people living in tech and finance hubs, and the people working and living outside of them. The right in your country chose Trump because they couldn't understand why their towns were changing. Trump said those jobs were going to other countries, but that's a lie. It's always been automation. A traditional copper/nickel mine has a higher output today, with a significantly smaller work force and that trend will likely continue to near zero at some point. It's the same trend in other industries.

Truth is, the western world is fucked if it doesn't address the fact that there is a huge percentage of people working in jobs today that are likely to be automated within 10 years. Taxing corporations and giving that money to citizens is the right thing to do. Afterall, Amazon, Google, Microsoft all use public infrastructure (includes the internet), so they should pay the citizens that own the infrastructure for that, which is everyone. It's a simple concept.
