We need a president who supports UBI! Hope you do!

Basic Income. Pay people to subside.

Number one should be the right to UBI. Bayard Rustin was calling to “separate pay from work” in 1965! You were talking about automation making #UBI necessary in 2021! Yet you’ve excluded UBI from your platform for no reason, opting for the unsustainable job-based approach.

How about cheap rent? Low food costs? Low energy costs? If you raise wages, EVERY thing else goes up too.

Do you have any economic data around this proposal? (actually everyone already has a right, they just may not have the talent.)

That is incompatible with capitalism. It will be rolled back or never implemented without first getting rid of capitalism.

I cannot imagine why the topics and concerns she addresses does not appeal to at least 70% of registered voters across all parties? Their not extreme nor impossible they have been done before?
