    We dont have to assume

    We already know that the people demanding a $1000 handout are not going to work

    How do we know that? No one stopped working in Alaska when the state government was handing out oil royalty checks that I know of. How about you?

    Glad you raised the UBI spending point.

    Welfare, in the form of tax cuts, for the WEALTHY means massive amounts of money is taken OUT OF CIRCULATION from the economy. It ends up in off shore bank accounts and has zero net benefit to anyone but the wealthy.

    The majority of the people who will benefit from UBI will spend that money on things that they need to survive which means that UBI funds will be circulating in the economy and boosting demand for products and services. The economy will do well with that stimulus funding in the hands of We the People.

    Experience

    Actually a lot of people in Alaska stopped working and just became primative hunter gatherers

    And I dont think their windfall was as much as liberals in the lower 48 are demanding

    Thats utter nonsense

    Allowing people to keeo more of the money they esrned is not welfare

    Taking that money from the person who earned it and giving it too someone else is welare

    Oh yeah, there is no tribalism in Africa. They don't do anything by tribe there.

    Also, there is no caste system in India. We imagined that.

    How about to design them, to build them, to program them, to transport them, to install them, to maintain them?

    I would support Tulsi Gabbard, over Trump even. The rest of the Dem nominees are trash, utter trash.

    You probably need to look past political hacks. Most of them are in politics because they failed at law and none of them are any good at managing anything. Look for people with no government or political experience.

    Our state offers a free two year associates degree in automation and robotics and a graduate will be inundated with offers in the 6 $ figures.

    The paucity of your subject matter knowledge when it comes to what tribalism actually means in this context is duly noted for the record.

    Robots can build themselves!

    AI can write it's own programs and instruct robots to maintain themselves. AI and even transport robots to where they are needed and instruct other robots to install them. AI will eventually be doing all of the designs for robots too.

    So none of those "jobs" are going to have any meaningful longevity.

    Gabbard is a Republican pretending to be a Dem.

    Anyone who isn't a virulent identitarian racist is a Republican apparently, even if they support:

    Campaign finance reform
    Medicaid for migrants
    Ending the war in Syria
    Transition to zero fossil fuels
    Assault weapons ban
    Marriage equality BEFORE it waa cool
    Net neutrality
    Universal single payer healthcare
    Breaking up the banks


    Apparently legitimately anyone right of Stalin is a fascist or Republican to you.

    There is not one Democrat running for President that could come close JFK. The similarities stop at age, race and hair color.

    Those that keep comparing Bedo to JFK are delusional. He is a nobody. Did nothing during his Term. And has stupid, irrational ideas that cannot be achieved. They Democrats say raising taxes on Corporations and the "rich"; whatever that means.

    Won't work because both of these groups can get around it by investing earnings and write offs

    This is why instead of doing nothing but trying to get rid of Trump, they should be working on getting rid of loop-holes that make it possible for these two groups to pay little if any Fed income tax. We don't need a JFK we need exactly what we have got. And if Dems would get on board, I believe Trump could get rid of the Legislation, regulations holding out Economy back.

    Change immigrAtion laws. Reform Heath insurance, and actually regulate health insurance like other lines of insurance

    Gabbard will say and do whatever is expedient to get herself elected just like every other political hack does. Only a fool believes her when she pretends to support those positions. Her voting record is what counts because those are her ACTIONS on those issues. She is untrustworthy.

    https://www.vox.com/policy-and-poli...lsi-gabbard-2020-president-campaign-explained

    You only like her because she supports your own anti-Muslim bigotry. If she didn't you would consider her to be "utter trash" like every other Dem candidate.

    No he didn't, he had legitimate grounds to dismiss Mueller, criticizing an investigation of which you were found innocent is not obstruction.

    Your BLOTUS was NOT "found innocent" by the Mueller investigation.

    So your only objection to her is that she isn't a virulent intersectional racist like the rest of the DNC? Since when is opposition to regime change a Republican policy?

    I discount ALL self serving politicians who speak out of both sides of their mouth in order to be elected.

    What I look for in anyone wanting to be POTUS are actual LEADERSHIP QUALITIES.

    Unfortunately most of the electorate allow themselves to be duped by smarmy politicians who appeal to their Confirmation Biases and bigotry.
