1/ Many people are saying “I want to go back to work” who are actually just saying they want to eat, feed their children and pay their bills. What kind of (rich) country tells its citizens to make a choice between risking their lives or risking hunger for their families.

That’s one way to look at it. I see people living with conflicted desires. Work represents a sense of accomplishment, of feeling valued, of a social connection at the workplace with other workers and customers, depending on the job. Yet, the workplace might be a dangerous place.

...and so we need an #EmergencyUBI for the duration of this crisis, correct?

America isn’t as rich as you believe it is. 20 trillion in debt, heroin and the loss of manufacturing ravaging communities, losing some of our best and brightest men to endless pointless foreign wars and unsustainably high levels of immigration populating cities beyond capacity.

If we had UBI like Andrew Yang proposed-a floor to stand on when the ceiling collapses people wouldnt be as scared. This virus is just the first disaster more are going to happen. We as a nation only know how to panic and blame because the system was set up wrong 200 years ago.

We should all be protesting, pressuring state and federal officials to push through a monthly guaranteed payment until this pandemic ends! #UBIsoWeDontDie

Many of these protests are being instigated by billionaire back groups, such as the Devos family, for their own purposes.
