@FactoShawn @IMO41725414 @JamieO123 @mimisbrunn @business It is literally impossible to be both authoritarian and communist in the same breath.

Mind you, Singapore operates in a similarly intrusive fashion but you'll hardly see shade being thrown their way

@lumendatabase Yea

@wmyersabn @nikoCSFB 64% of Israel is vaccinated. https://t.co/soSUGwnfBx

Your chart also shows total number of covid-19 cases since the pandemic began. It doesn't show what the increase in cases has been since the vaccine has been administered

@Alby_____ @T4YPodcast @scottsantens Vaccine passports are intended to incentive the vaccine hesitant to get the jab.

What you need to ask yourself is why you believe 60% of black people aren't vaccinated.

@Burner20207 @taeoct6 @FTBVids_YT You're talking about UFC level talent leaving for the lines of One FC or Bellator. Those promotions have demonstrated they're willing to give a larger share of income to fighters.

So far, only washed UFC fighters (barring cyborg and mousasi) have left Dana for them.

[Dre Le @dreiano]

@Burner20207 @taeoct6 @FTBVids_YT The thing is, if Francis leaves the promotion after his last fight and goes on to make big money in another mma promotion, that signals to other fighters that the ufc is losing its prestige

@AndrewYang Emigrate to Canada. Too many of your countrymen and women don't appreciate the caliber of person you are

@samueljmargrave @Sreener @mattbc Just take a gander at #StopAsianHate to understand precisely what is happening in many communities. Elderly asians are experiencing hate crimes at an exponential rate due to this pandemic; and much of it seems to stem from people who are mentally ill, suffering from pandemic more

@msvelour @ZackFinkNews @ericadamsfornyc @AndrewYang @KGforNYC Mind you, any dollar earned over that poverty line can disqualify people for certain benefits; whereas UBI does not.

[Dre Le @dreiano]

@msvelour @ZackFinkNews @ericadamsfornyc @AndrewYang @KGforNYC The US poverty line is $12,490 annually/individual

@ $15 minimum wage (MW), one needs 16 hrs/week to uplift themselves out of poverty.

@ Federal minimum wage of $7.25, one needs 33 hrs/week

With a UBI of $1k monthly, they need to work 0.63 hrs @$15 MW and 1.3 hrs @$7.25 MW

@msvelour @ZackFinkNews @ericadamsfornyc @AndrewYang @KGforNYC What specifically is this in response to?

[Dre Le @dreiano]

@msvelour @ZackFinkNews @ericadamsfornyc @AndrewYang @KGforNYC Conversely, UBI doesn't go away even when you cross the poverty line. Based on Yang's suggested method of finding the UBI (10% VAT on non-essential items and luxury goods) someone would need to spend $120k annually for UBI to be regressive

Here's a study from the National Tax Journal examining how social safety net programs affect the marginal tax rates of those in poverty.

Depending on the state, tax rates can fluctuate wildly (e.g. 100% to 26%) within half a year.

This is regressive

[Dre Le @dreiano]

@msvelour @ZackFinkNews @ericadamsfornyc @AndrewYang @KGforNYC You don't have to, but I'm genuinely curious why not?

[Dre Le @dreiano]

@msvelour @ZackFinkNews @ericadamsfornyc @AndrewYang @KGforNYC This is pertinent to the present mayoral race.

Overarchingly, here's a discussion from Yang's podcast exploring why he believes a form of UBI is superior to the current social safety net.

@ArtistsByChloe @KheanH0 @emmagf Enlighten me then. Did his family come from wealth prior to immigrating? Was his father head hunted to join IBM as an executive upon setting foot in the country?

[Dre Le @dreiano]

@ArtistsByChloe @KheanH0 @emmagf Elevating yourself and your family through hard work doesn't negate the struggle of getting there...

@msvelour @ZackFinkNews @ericadamsfornyc @AndrewYang @KGforNYC What's your qualm with Yang if I might ask?
