        😎 “Not all larceny is regressive”
        You can simply compensate people for work labored. Food distribution is a great motivator.

      there must be a way not involving taxes

      Not a meaningful one.

      Printing more money: this is just a flat tax because of inflation.

      Government owning resources: finite. The cost of those resources increases to support citizen needs. And the cost of that is borne by the consumer, I.e. the citizens. This is most likely a regressive tax.

      In the end, it’s all a tax. And if you don’t specifically target it, it’s a tax that hurts the poor.
