"What is the political downside to giving everyone cash? I don't see it. It's like, you pass it and you look like a hero; you don't pass it, you're a moron," @AndrewYang tells @AdamHSays https://t.co/6aGBKzoIf8
Markets down 10%. No one thinks that what Congress is doing is sufficient to prevent a deep recession or worse. Congress needs to think much bigger about what is happening here. This is an economic blackout for an extended period of time on a society-wide scale. Wider than 2008.
As of today, the following members of Congress have endorsed #EmergencyUBI:
✅ @TulsiGabbard
✅ @AOC
✅ @SenatorRomney
✅ @RepKatiePorter
✅ @Ilhan
✅ @RepAdamSchiff
✅ @repblumenauer
Please reply with more endorsers in Congress as they endorse and I'll add them to this thread.
We need an economic response to this crisis as well as a health response.
Let’s start by keeping it simple.
An immediate payment of $1,000 for every adult. $500 for every kid.
This will help keep families afloat and businesses that depend on them.
We are all in this together.
I’ve always admired @AndrewYang but didn’t back his $1,000/mo Freedom Dividend
I’ve changed my mind
I am not only off the fence, I believe we need it urgently
We need transaction (government)-free stimulus, not the inefficient pork of the past
#StimulateThePeople
The impact of coronavirus on New Yorkers will be nothing short of cataclysmic if we don’t act now. We must institute The People’s Paycheck, an immediate $1000 per month cash stimulus for all New York City residents for the duration of the crisis. (1/3)
