Bone up on your Russians, patriotic Americans. First comes income-for-all. Next after that? You all get rounded up into Soviet-style labor camps!

Rightguide, AJ, Busybody, I implore you, tear up those coronavirus hoax stimulus checks! For uhmurricaaaa

Here’s how UBI would work, as Yang sees it: All U.S. citizens between the ages of 18 and 64 would receive an unconditional $1,000 per month, which would cost the U.S. between $2 trillion and $4 trillion per year. While proponents have long believed the safety net can help reduce poverty, critics argue the sheer amount of federal funds would only increase the nation’s debt load and burden taxpayers.

But the $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus law known as the CARES Act — and potentially more stimulus on the way — showcases the dire need of average Americans to stay afloat, with $290 billion dedicated to one-time stimulus checks of $1,200 to those making less than $75,000 per year.

Yang’s idea wasn’t in reaction to a pandemic, of course, but instead was rooted in the belief that automation will ultimately displace most Americans. But the novel coronavirus is keeping businesses shut and Americans at home, forcing a record of nearly 10 million workers to file jobless claims in a two-week period alone.

Perceived as a privileged cocktail hour discussion not too long ago, UBI has become a serious policy idea for governments around the world. Spain’s Economy Minister Nadia Calvino said, “We are going to implement UBI as soon as possible,” in an interview with broadcast network La Sexta on Sunday. She added that the instrument may be used “not only for this exceptional situation,” and “that it may stay forever.” While there’s no specific start date, Spain will be the first country to provide this guaranteed income if it’s implemented.
 
All REAL patriots will post up pictures of their torn-up stimulus checks. :cool:
 
DuMbest post of the day goes to the OP.

There is no check. Money is going to directly deposited to your bank account.

Basically.....eventually the money will become worthless and or you'll run out of it and then the guns come out.

Enjoy your Trump bucks. :D
 
What stimulus check?
I'm retired...

I'm just thankful the markets are rebounding.
And I agree with g_l as to the nature of your post.



PS - Bernie lost, lost YU-u-u-u-u-GE!

Are you going to show us your torn-up stimulus check, Patriot? Or are you going to be a spineless COMMIELIBTARD and cash it?

Show us who you really are. Post up that torn-up check, Patriot!

Also I don't conflate communism and liberalism, I'm not a dumbshit nor dishonest "progressive" .

I'm not following it too closely,
but don't you have to have been employed?

IDK about that.

I do know if you make over 99k/individual or 198k/couple you don't get shit.

Which is fine, like, it should be for the more vulnerable.

Nah, you're nothing but a basement dwelling bedwetter just like AJ. In fact you're a dependent which is the reason why you won't be getting jack shit.
 
There's (sort of) effectively UBI in place in most places already, with unemployment benifits for the temporarily jobless or a minimum welfare check for the permanently jobless, and a tax free bottom bracket for everyone else.

It's not a $1000's worth, at least not here, but it's not nothing.

Does UBI happen on top of that, or instead of that?
 
My basement is full of tools, books and food storage,
but I do have a full bath down there in
the guest room...


:)
 
I'm putting together a suggestion site on how to help illegals get their check.

Have them submit their winter (real) southern home address and mail it there.
Then get serious about closing the border to cut down the transmission of SARS-CoV-2
and to prevent further pandemics; this way Trump will be acting on the timeline that
the idiots are fucking convinced that he should have been acting on in the first place...

Nice....I got most of mine in the garage, my basement was like a MIL suite before. Large 1 room with a kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom.

We have some storage going on there, but it's essentially the gaming/theater room.

The bedroom is the flight sim room, I'm currently working on moving my cockpit into the corner so I can build the Mrs. one opposite, I got her hooked :D
 
Oh, the garage is full of car and yard tools.
Hell, I can't even get a car in there anymore...


:D


I had to erect one of those car ports!

Well, right now I'm collecting spare SS#s to hand out to the highest bidder. Me thinks that's a tall order to come up with 20 or so million numbers. Going to push to legislate another 10 trillion to make it work. Americans are just going to have to work more hours to provide for the fake sick, fake lame and lazy illegals. Then it's on to my next project the *UBI* MAYBE ANOTHER 10 TRILLION FOR THAT PROJECT, piece of cake. I figure if americans donate 90% of their earnings this can work. Lets all get together on this! RA! RA!

Ahh yes....I have the basics for the cars and some shelving/cabinets for other utility/shit storage. But nothing excessive, Minnesota has the kinda winters that make you keep your garage lean so you can use it for your cars.

Cleaning snow off your car at 5am when it's -20 something out is....less than pleasant.
