Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity and happiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.

Finland ended homelessness with a housing first strategy that gave people apartments before they secured employment Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days True work life balance Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can’t afford food or healthcare.

So true. He cut the top rate from 70% to 28%. If billionaires were paying 70%, or anything close to that we could provide healthcare for all and still have a surplus each year. Also, why is the estate tax exemption tied to inflation while the minimum wage is not? #Plutocracy

Reagan waged war against the middle class & working people. He started taxing unemployment & social security. Voodoo economics is what propelled the billionaire class. The wealthy & corporations have not paid their fair share in taxes for decades. He busted unions and more. Rethugs perpetuate this.

There are now 2,900 billionaires, and they hold $15.8 trillion. The wealth of the bottom 50% of the global population, over 4 billion people, is estimated at $3.7 trillion.

When I was 12 I realized that a world in which people told the truth, were kind, worked so that all could fairly reach for their dreams, would be a really good place in which to live. So I focused my life on doing what I could to make this reality. I don’t think these 2,900 billionaires are trying.

The only real answer is universal basic income and we need you talking about it. Yes, shorter weeks are good, but that doesn't benefit everyone equally. Neither does a job guarantee or retraining. UBI is the dividend that we all deserve as creators of the data AI was trained on.

When will Dems or anyone be brave enough to assert that the U.S. has to move towards being a social democracy? At scale it has challenges but not in comparison to our current nightmare of an economy, health care system, tax structure and wealth inequity. And yes that’s inequity, not inequality…

It's the only realistic response to AI, and every single person voting no in your poll either doesn't understand it very well or opposes the idea based on dogmatic ideas or fears of being taxed more than they receive. Milton Friedman himself supported UBI, but many fools still yell "socialism."

The Democratic Establishment is "Big Tent" when it comes to Fetterman, Sinema and Manchin, but not when it comes to Mamdani. It's long past time to kick the Conservatives out of the Democratic Party.

Billionaires ARE the enemy. You will never be one, know one or befriend one. They didn’t create your job; they probably cost you your job. They are the executors of the divide & conquer approach that keeps the peons at each other’s throats, instead of storming their castles. It’s the truth.

What I like about Zohran is he seems to be the one person to realize if he just remains a reasonable dude and lets everyone else be unreasonably horrible to him, they do their own smear campaigns. Literally all he has to do is gently interrogate whatever plops out of their mouths, it's hilarious.

BREAKING: Marshall Islands becomes the first country to launch a Universal Basic Income program. Every resident (about 33,000 people) will receive $200 every 3 months. This works out to being about 11% of GDP per capita. If the US did that same percentage, the UBI would be about $770/mo.
