It isn’t in the US but is in Japan where the companies are based.

That’s not a UBI.

Sounds like you might be interested in a negative income tax, though.

Why? Seems like something people should know about.

They are significantly worse than fiat currencies.

People seem to be conflating economics and personal finance.

If you push past that, they do essentially conclude that this is an inevitable consequence of our current situation. It’s a better take than I expected.

I’m more horrified that it took this long for the backlash, but I’ve been expecting it for years.

Only if you call it that.

It’s an incredibly cringey thing to do on a first date. Like he’s a Tim Robinson character.

I’m a proud member of both groups.

Stop banging and start banging!

What will they think when those things don’t happen? Some conspiracy shit?

Ok probably not sincere.

The contentiousness is what put killing the filibuster on the table. In less contentious times, we didn’t need to destroy basic political norms just to save people’s lives.

It takes basically no effort to vote. Things are clearly better with Harris winning than Trump.

Win the WH, win both houses of Congress, blow up the filibuster and enact national protections for abortion.

Will it work? Probably not. It definitely won’t happen if Trump wins, though.

Plus if Trump wins, Alito and Thomas retire and get replaced by 25 year old fascists and things get even worse for decades.

I dunno if you were being sincere or intentionally obtuse, but it’s kind of straightforward that we have to win.

I think probably MAGA falls apart as no one can galvanize these people like he does. What do you think will happen?

Sure, but I wouldn’t have my kid work on a farm or in a quarry. Ideally you get an internship in college or something. Maybe bag groceries.

Difficult manual labor isn’t an entry point into any fulfilling career I can think of, but different strokes.

On 1/6 I kept thinking that there was finally a good reason for the police to open fire on people and they didn’t fucking do it. I guess they weren’t innocent or black enough.

Does Biden have the stones to go through with that? My worry is he won’t.

In my dreams, they try that shit and the US military gets to take them all out in one fell swoop. I know that’s not how it’ll play out, but I can dream.

When is she gonna be invited to headline a Trump rally?
