I would go further, especially considering the context:
Give people a survivable wage.
Regardless of whether they can work or not. People’s survival should not be contingent on working. Give people what they need to survive as a baseline, and then if they want to work for more, they can negotiate for employment on equal terms.
Universal basic income (like a bigger one than you are probably thinking), universal healthcare, eliminate most other welfare programs (UBI filling that role in place of things like SNAP and TANF, the remaining ones should be narrowly targeted and temporary - think WIC), institute a maximum wage (highest compensated person in a company can make no more than X% of the least compensated and Y% of the median compensated employee - makes it so that for executives to get a raise that rising tide has to lift every boat).

It’s okay. We don’t have to think about this in the USA because leftists wanted to teach democrats a lesson on Gaza*
*Gaza will be destroyed in its entirety over the coming years.
And plus we can just keep increasing taxes and UBI until we achieve the desired result.
Because raising the minimum wage is easy and happens all the time, the same should be true of.a UBI. /$
$7.25 an hour
We aren’t going to get any UBI at all until we’re much better represented than we currently are.
Sounds great but do you really think the 1% will not fuck with a UBI?
