I know government officials don’t make a ton but damn...why does it look like Condoleezza is cutting that promo from a guys college dorm room?

Because if she shot it from pool side with a stunning view of her 5 acre estate, impoverished Trump supporters would start sending her death threats

Which is ironic because their idol is a “billionaire” who thinks “the White House is a dump”.

think if things get substantially worse it’s very possible, especially if poor repubs begin to understand that evil demonic socialism might be the only thing that saves their lives going forward

universal income may follow

the “capitalism will save us” narrative is dead to anyone but people who stand to gain riches from it and people who lack common sense

 

[cosmiccoffee9]

sorry if this is a cloud question but...does the man himself get TrumpChange?

I mean, his declared salary for the last 2 years is 0 and he has a dependent.

gotta be something I missed, right?

DCAllAfrican would appreciate this fine example of the kayfabe concept.

all jokes aside, the President alternates time between a private resort and a personal skyscraper.

...oh, and he stops by the White House from time to time as well.

that never ceases to be wild to me.

for sure, Spain already declared their intention to install an enduring UBI.

you gotta think with the structure of the EU, most Western European countries follow suit pretty quick.

could see Canada getting on board too.at that point it´s fashionable, something for a first-class nation to have.

the concept is definitely going to gain a lot of traction in this crisis...convenient, because so is automation.

This answer makes sense though. cosmiccoffee9

no doubt about it...but the concept is derived from real life, where the consequences were always as such.

dems opened the door with first round of checks. the people who normally would not support these kinda things likely need it more than most, so they’ll likely be inclined to agreee with the need for more on a monthly basis at least for a period of time

repubs would be doing themselves a favor getting ahead of it and starting to promote the idea of further payment for regular people. It would likely have to be bundled with a corporate package behind the scenes.

would bring them more support + keep poorer undecideds on their side cosmiccoffee9
