Respectfully centering workers is the social safety net.

I don't even consider it a safety net, education and health are the foundation of the workforce.

It's a loss in productivity when someone can't work because they need but can't access dental care, glasses, mental health care, or out of reach pharmaceuticals. Those should be solved problems stuck behind arbitrary barriers.

It's a loss of productivity every time a brilliant mind is stuck selling real egg sandwiches at Tim's or can't get employed due to education costs.

If we take care of those foundations then people are free to contribute to their fullest.
