It’s an odd psychology that makes people resist giving $1000/mo to hard-working citizens to buy what they need, yet be OK with billions/yr given as subsidies to industries already making huge profits destroying the planet so that a tiny group of people can buy whatever they want.

We're stuck on labeling the concept as Socialist. Yang has framed it best to be used for the transition to the new age of technology. I think it's a matter of reframing the logic while understanding psychology of resistance & move forward from there in a productive way.

The best government programs, and the most popular, are those which provide service without regard to individual differences, where the benefits are available to all and denied to none. Whatever is given to wealthy should also be given to poor.

Not to mention the subsidies went to family and friends of our government and that includes congress.

My exact argument to my GOP friends & some retired Democratic friends, who ask why are the Democrats giving money away without working for it? They don’t hear about the corporate greed of politicians, Wall St, Big Oil, etc - It’s called corporate media. #MedicareForAll #GND

It's also unacceptable that Americans do without so our military industrial system can give weapons manufacturers trillions of dollars to kill civilians abroad in offense wars to promote corporate interests.
