I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

The food people need is in grocery stores. They just need the permission slips (cash) to access it. Food banks should not exist. They are a symptom of failed policy. They exist because universal basic income doesn't. We need UBI and it's a fight because the people doing this are doing it on purpose:

What a brilliant idea and great praise for the idea. Letting everyone have access to the literature we should all read is extremely important. Currently re-reading 1984, and it's quite scary how close a lot of societies are moving to that as a model, and how many idiots would like it.

Ivana Trump is on Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster,NJ. The New Jersey tax code exempts cemetery land from all taxes, and assessments. A tax expert called it a “trifecta of tax avoidance”; property, income, and sales tax. She is buried to save Donald Trump tax. That’s the kind of scumbag he is.

Money in our pocket should be basic income. We need both UBI and M4A. UBI would also reduce what we spend on M4A by improving health, and it would also function like Seattle's Democracy vouchers, which would help level the playing field when it comes to the influence of big donors on our politics.

Today’s basic income proponents say cash payments would be good for everyone. In the 1790s, the idea’s inventor argued something else: It was owed to everyone.
