There is something deeply cynical about this tweet; given the pandemic, these people should be receiving that $1400 every month. I don’t find the video inspiring; I find it heartbreaking.
The American Rescue Plan’s $1,400 checks will start going out as early as this weekend. Here’s how folks plan to use theirs:

Thank you for speaking out Marianne. <3 This would be life saving for so many people. This would help people afford to feed their children so they don't go to bed hungry that night, or maybe just pay for insulin just to be able to live.

Can someone help me budget this $1400 for the year?

Agree. It's condescending and CRUEL.

People think this man has empathy. I don’t.

When I discuss UBI a lot of people do not know what it is or think it is welfare. There is still this mentality in a lot of places that any help is bad or somehow deems that person as a poor provider. I don't get that mentality but I see it a lot!

At least he gave a great speech, tho...amirite?😀👍
'Cynical' and 'heartbreaking' are good descriptors. I'd add 'dystopian'.

Everyone should get it and should be monthly.

I didn't play the video. Just the captions were enough for me and I agree, this is heartbreaking.
