    I mean it depends on the context of how UBI is going to get paid for. If it is funded by a wealth tax then I am on board. But that’s not how the powerful proponents of UBI say it should be funded. Andrew Yang would have us take it out of Social Security to pay for it but you don’t hear him say we should uncap Social Security contributions.









  • All those services are what Mr Money Bags wants privatized so they can profit from providing those services. That’s why you hear this talk about social security - the incoming administration wants it privatized.

    You’re thinking like a human, the rich are thinking like a class above the rest of the humans. Yes it’s dumb, but here we are cooking our planet at an ever increasing rate.








  • I mean we should all be able to leave our desk to go pick up a prescription for ourselves or a family member. That’s the problem, not that parents are the only ones with the privilege.

    The discrimination in regards to parents is real. In an interview I was asked if I would be able to keep up with a demanding schedule because I have kids. In my experience, women with children get the opposite end of that consideration than with men being considered bread winners. This is messed up any way you slice it.
