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.

We need wealth transfer as a national & international policy. It's crazy that we have hungry, homeless, sick people while we have billionaires hiding money in tax heavens & big corporations paying $0 federal income tax. Ppl who say where is the money r either idiots or not honest

Indeed we do. After all, this government has NEVER had any problem finding money for weapons and war. It's unlikely to happen in debt-based capitalism, but here is a system that can make it happen easily: Copiosis.com

We don't have anything. The government just gave Elon Musk another Billion dollars though. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/…

It would be a game changer for millions of us. I had to take a job where I am exposed to hundreds of people a week, some 9 hour days, inside. UI minimal w/o extensions. Pay is $20k less than I was making. Pet sitting on life support w/o travel allowed. Savings gone. Sick cat now.
