The “stimulus package” we need is $2,000 a month for every person as long as the pandemic lasts. You don’t have to be an economist or a politician to figure that out; you just have to be deeply human. #directcashrelief

Who’s paying for that?
Rightists working their brains into a pretzel trying to rationalize science/medicine, disciplines based on logic, with law/economics, which are based on neither logic or even fairness. Result: half measures which neither fix the pandemic nor the economy. youtube.com/watch?v=mbi6GlnO…

That’s not enough. And don’t you think that people of color should get more? I mean, just because, you know...everything.

This debt bullshit is for morons. Give the 2000 and step aside DC.

You could drop the word "deeply". A shallow human could still agree.

for those of your who are about to say "but where will the money come from" ....know that it is created the instant the vote is passed, out of thin air. All money is now is digital numbers in electronic ledgers and isn't backed by anything except fiat. #mmt. We can afford it.

And since Republicans aren't even remotely human, that's pie in the sky.
