Please, Marianne, it's manifestly clear that this is the FIRST of pandemics to come. We live in the #PostAutomationEra on a #PandemicPlanet and ought celebrate #MLKDay with advocacy of #BasicIncome "at levels that sustain life in decent circumstances."🙏🏼 ChaosToCommunity.com

Then stop allowing the price of things to be 100-200x what they should be selling for. At $15/hr they still won't be able to afford to live with taxes and the inflation that occurs after this goes into effect.
If you are a single person & live off of 15 $ an hour, you still live in poverty!!!

Bernie said it first.
It’s unfathomable how GOP doesn’t want to pay people a livable wage, and also continues to decrease funds for programs to help the poor. But they have no problem making them pay more than their fair share of taxes while they live off of their tax cuts alone. Disgusting.
