Democrats have begun discussions on major changes to the U.S. Postal Service — including a new board of governors and forcing Postmaster General Louis DeJoy from office.

@ALynn730 Agree that our leaders hate helping us truly. The Basic is needed due to rampant income inequality and automation and is not socialist. It was supported by Reagan's economist , Milton Friedman as "Demand Side Economics" so businesses have customers. https://t.co/ybvEvBP3zx

Shouldn't congress start the next survival checks bill, ya know, since it takes months and months and months and months and months... To pass? And make it $5000 checks so it can be whittled down to $50 and some pocket fuzz when it finally goes out. 🙄

[Care Worth Podcast 🧢 🎙💖☘️🧵🏠 @CareWorthCast]

@ALynn730 That's good. 👍 I meant the next bill after. Actually, I'm for a monthly permanent basic income instead of this agonizing process they are putting us all through. We'd then make sure citizens are ready for national emergencies and personal setbacks with a floor to poverty.

Millions of people in the U.S.A. have been in devastating emergency mode since at least 2008 in spite of the low official unemployment rate pre-pandemic. When the pandemic is over, they'll still marginalized. It's time for UBI, a vaccine that makes sure this doesn't happen again.

Christopher Plummer so brilliantly played Captain von Trapp, but the story can be illuminated by the fact that the Captain was so hotly pursued to serve the Nazi Regime because he was a torpedo boat captain, with few veterans in that service at the time. https://t.co/4o6auslKbl

Can we please stop ignoring unpaid care work? Out of all times, it’s right now when we most need to make sure that all of us can care for each other and not be actively punished financially for doing so.

$2,000. Every month.

Let's support ALL care work.

Deflationary pressures have been increasing as technology continues to advance and those same people old enough to be concerned about inflation are also the ones less likely to understand the realities of technological deflation.

.@MichaelDTubbs: “We have to be unified and understand that we have to live in a country that sees the basic inherent dignity of all people and has the ability to provide an income floor and beat COVID-19.”

[Scott Santens @scottsantens]

Our economy could really use people with money to spend. What are they called again? Oh right: customers. A $1400 check and a boost to UI will create more customers, but it's not enough. We need monthly checks to spend because businesses need customers every month, not just once.

[wheezywaiter @wheezywaiter]

Hey, how about we just give every American $2000 a month until the pandemic's over and then $1000 a month forever after?

To the objectors I say: no one knows what will work. I think there are ways to make this work. Follow this guy @scottsantens. He writes about it, A LOT.

[NY Humanity First Movement 🧢🗽 @nycyanggang]

If I say that tomorrow I’m gonna give you $200 if you do something for me, I don’t come in tomorrow with $140 saying I already gave you the other $60 a few months ago

[Care Worth Podcast 🧢 🎙💖☘️🧵🏠 @CareWorthCast]

@JasonChengZAP @thehill Actually LOLed on that one. 👍

[Andrew Kimmel @andrewkimmel]

$2000 for all, every month, regardless of income, until this pandemic is over. Quit fucking around.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

We need recurring MONTHLY checks until the pandemic ends.

Last week, I led a letter to the Biden Administration urging the inclusion of recurring cash payments in their future economic relief plans.

We cannot be too bold in responding to this crisis.

Many of the people who love to say "There's no free lunch," also love to write their lunches off on their taxes as a business expense that really "pays for itself" for the government to pay for because the spending creates new jobs which then creates new payroll tax revenue.
