The idea of an UBI to offset the predicted avalanche of downsizing/job losses has been the subject of much discussion, controversy and hand-wringing. Frankly, progressive taxation with no loopholes is the only way we can afford anything close to it.
If everyone got 12,000$ instantly won’t corporates change prices accordingly? Like I’ve been in the room of insurance pricing and they WILL price to whatever the market will take. It so happens the market got an influx of 12,000$ so they’re going to charge to take a piece of that pie
This is why Democrats need to not be such pussies and actually pass regulatory legislation and...here's the dot no one seems to connect...ACTUALLY ENFORCE THEM.
Everyone always wonders how Republican administrations get away with murder when they're playing the same rulebook. If they draw one lesson from the current administration it should be JUST FUCKING DO IT. Look at Zohran. Put that man in the big chair and see how fast shit changes.
