"Ensuring that your population's basic needs can be met comfortably by mandating a livable wage is essential to creating and maintaining demand in the economy, after all you cant squeeze blood from a stone"........
"Wait, why are you only writing the last bit down?"
"We could solve a lot of problems with providing livable wages or you know.......... not do any of that."
Fascinating idea....... Can you please expand on this "squeeze blood from stone" idea of yours?
It is true that you can't draw blood from a stone cause stones don't have blood. However, a stone is "dead" in the sense that it was never alive. The plebs have blood in them. So if crush the pleb's hopes and dreams to make them emotionally dead inside like a stone. We would draw blood from them and never fix any systemic issue.
