And no mention of UBI lol she's absolutely shameless
Our current economic system is not working for the vast majority of Americans. We can change that.

I’m not against UBI. It doesn’t address the fundamental flaws of trickle down economics, therefore we shouldn’t see it as the ultimate fix. I said that in my last campaign as well. But as a temporary stopgap measure, I have no problem with it.

Obviously it addresses the fundamental flaws of trickle down economics because it's TRICKLE UP economics. Without UBI, there is no trickle up economics. You are absolutely shameless. Literally moving BACKWARDS & trying to run as a progressive. Do better or drop out.

May I ask why you are not at least pushing for it as a tempoary fix in your campaign? If it is related to the stigma and pushback for the UBI branding, why not pivot to the "Freedom Dividend" branding or even narrow the conversation to something specific like an "AI Dividend"?

There is zero political path for another Federal direct payment program other than Social Security. A transitional training infrastructure that supports an adult during an education program that would lead to a job is not unreasonable.
Arguably, a UBI is part of the solution… but you are absolutely correct, radical libertarian industrial policy & extreme wealth must be addressed (as well as the economic violence waged against the American people). 1)

Please have a conversation with @scottsantens! He can shed light on certain aspects that perhaps you are overlooking while backing his claims with data and evidence.

Nobody said it’s the ultimate fix but it must be implemented ASAP!! It’s literally trickle up!!!

That's great you're not against UBI, but you should be very much for it. It may not solve everything, but it makes everything more solvable. And an optimal UBI design would greatly reduce inequality. It would tax the top more and empower *all* of labor to an unprecedented degree. scottsantens.com/2020-reveal…

That begs the question of what would address those alleged flaws. And nobody believes UBI is a panacea. That said, UBI does make many issues that may be intractable without it easier to address.
