Imagine what America would be like now if every adult knew they’d be getting $2k/mo (retroactively to when the pandemic began) & $1k for every child. Imagine how much panic, suicidal despair, domestic conflict & hunger would fall away. And be clear: we have the money to do that.

Imagine if rich people in Congress actually cared enough to help working class Americans. @SpeakerPelosi @SenSchumer @SenatorLoeffler @sendavidperdue

Serous question: what incentive would there be for people to work?

Most important word here is “retroactively” — we can make up for all the economic loss with a lump sum to all Americans of what we should have been receiving all along!
UBI at 1k /mth is better than nothing - i don’t see them even pushing for that which is terrible during a pandemic with job losses.

This country has ALWAYS had the money to do something like this. My family wouldnt be at eachothers throats everyday
