(28,270 posts)1. If we don't get a guaranteed income
3/4 of the people in this country are going to starve to death. You can't stop tech advances, witness dumb ass Trump trying to turn the world back to coal.
We need to embrace the future with government sponsored health care for all and a guaranteed minimum income.
Of course republicans in many states are forcing down minimum wages that the voters approved so...fuck.

None of this mess that UBI would replace both. UBI PLUS SS and Medicare (preferably for all).
The safety net needs to be expanded, not shredded. Pure Capitalists are putting EVERYone on the table.
