Sorry this is kinda political. Is there an asklemmypolitics group this would be better for? I’m hoping not to get into the libs vs progressives political debate we see everywhere on here… Just want to know what people are actually looking for.

    So, depressingly, he already has it. He’s the only candidate running so I have to vote for him if I’m going to vote at all.

      Of course… But imagining a world where he actually had to earn it… What could he do to actually earn your vote?

        Universal basic income and free Healthcare. Or 100% tax on anyone with more than 1 million dollars and any corporation with profits of more than 1 million dollars.

        If any of those options were on the docket I’d Jan6 the election to make sure it happens.

            UBI means everyone gets a set amount of money every month, no matter what, from what I understand

                While I have my opinions on it conceptually, I’ll be the first to state I don’t have the know how to build it. I do know that $1k a month would give me a life without stress or burden and $4k a month is more than I could spend responsibility. So ideally between those. Maybe calculate the cost of living in an area annually and just give that.
