The moment private property was invented and land became privately owned, universal basic income became a human right, and every day since it has been unethical to not implement it.

And if we already had UBI, good luck pulling this shit that's being pulled with SNAP. ALL Trump voters would be hurt.

The Spaceballs Argument for Unconditional Basic Income (UBI)

There is an argument frequently made against the concept of unconditional basic income (UBI) that essentially goes like this: "Life requires work. You can't just expect to live without work, and it's ...

I'm so sick of this shit, not only from Trump but from most politicians, even many Democrats—this belief that people only deserve to eat if they've first done something to prove they deserve it.

Do we deserve to live??

Universal basic income ends the asking of this question and poverty as a weapon

Trump confirms he is weaponizing hunger

SNAP BENEFITS, which increased by Billions and Billions of Dollars (MANY FOLD!) during Crooked Joe Biden’s disastrous term in office (Due to the fact that they were haphazardly “handed” to anyone for the asking, as opposed to just those in need, which is the purpose of SNAP!), will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT

As a technical writer, I am SO GLAD that there is a whole cohort of people out there writing procedures who have NO IDEA how to properly write procedures lol.

Account fees and overdraft fees are BULLSHIT

Poor tax. That's all it is.

There are a lot of questions about what we can and can’t support.

Here’s an answer to one question I’ve been getting a lot.

Tomorrow on stream I'll be going through the Lib's budget.

The plan is to read/make notes on it at lunch.

Is there something specific about the budget you want me to cover/pay more attention to? What would you like to hear me cover tomorrow?

Let me know!

I'm going to keep trying to make "Trump = National Socialism" happen. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-is-t...

Donald Trump Is a Commie

Bernie’s democratic socialism is still compatible with liberal democracy. Trump’s national socialism is not. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Yeah, I kind of realized that after I tweeted it.

Anyway, I actually wrote a piece about how the Nazis were most definitely not socialist: voxsocialism.wixsite.com/blog/post/na...

Better start using the notwithstanding clause like it's a fire sale.

Recall? Notwithstanding Clause!

Fixed election date? Notwithstanding Clause!
