Elderly People Oppose Universal Basic Income

They’re still stuck in the “socialism” vs. “capitalism” paradigm.

No one gives a shit about your private property. This isn’t the 19th or 20th centuries. Yang isn’t saying he wants the government to seize my land to collectivize agriculture. He is saying he wants the government to pump investment into my area, heat up the economy, make it easier to pay my bills and give us the money we have always needed to overthrow oligarchies at all levels of government.

I keep hearing that is “welfare.”

This is your brain on conservatism and lolbertarianism. The underlying assumption is that we are not supposed to care about the well-being of our own people. We’re supposed to be radical individualists who care about nothing else in life except securing enormous corporate tax cuts.

Is Donald Trump going to bring all the jobs back to the Alabama Black Belt that have been lost in sharecropping and manufacturing? He is peddling nothing but nostalgia to people. No one is picking cotton and people are still losing their jobs in manufacturing. It is Dollar General and fast food restaurants that have been expanding their operations here. The Trump economy has made wealthy investors richer while more people are working as independent contractors for minimum wage. It is the Herbert Hoover economy with a suicide and opioid epidemic. If the economy is so great for White people, why is their life expectancy dropping for the first time ever in American history?
