{"product_id":"constructing-equity-johnny-townsend-9798987866603","title":"Constructing Equity","description":"We don't need \"affordable\" healthcare. We need universal healthcare. We don't need \"access\" to education. We need tuition-free college and vocational training. Let's erase the weasel words and get right to the point. The only way any of us can live in a safe, healthy society is if we all do.Freedom and equity aren't free. Neither is a stable society. We must reduce the extraordinary amount we spend on the military and demand that the ultra-wealthy and corporations pay their fair share toward the public good.The alternative is to live in a country filled with poverty, homelessness, division, and unrest.Every worker needs a living wage. But more than that, we need a thriving wage, and Universal Basic Income is a practical starting point.We also need universal taxpayer-funded childcare and pre-k education, fare-free public transportation, automatic voter registration, elimination of the Electoral College, ranked choice voting, plus nationwide vote-by-mail as well as in-person voting.We must provide training and new job opportunities for workers who will be displaced from fossil fuel industries as we confront an ever-worsening climate crisis. Because leaving them to fend for themselves only guarantees failure.\u003cp\u003e We pay for our choices, one way or another. Let's use our resources wisely. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Johnny Townsend\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8987866602\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798987866603\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johnny Townsend\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/13\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.80d","brand":"Johnny Townsend","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44491521851647,"sku":"9798987866603","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7ffd9b23-010c-4e2a-b4be-fc1daed29432.jpg?v=1699451675","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/constructing-equity-johnny-townsend-9798987866603","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
