We have to survive this garbage first.

What led to The New Deal was that a bunch of über-wealthy people in the US saw über-wealthy people being slaughtered elsewhere without mercy in revolutions, and they thought it best to toss a bit of largesse to the poors.

Whatever gets us there

I like the way you think. We have to endure months or years of Trump-induced pain so that eventually we will have what every other advanced country on the planet has: universal health care, free or at least affordable education and, maybe, universal basic income.

I mean, I would prefer to skip the pain and suffering and go back to a world where Trump hosted a game show instead of being center of the world’s dumbest personality cult

Let’s hope you’re right.

Praying you’re right. Whatever comes on the other side HAS to include UBI for so many reasons.

I hope so too and people realize government can be a force for good
