Universal Basic Income... "Everybody" Laughed at it when ANDREW YANG proposed it... NOW... We See It Works! Coronavirus Unemployment Checks Saved America. and Now They Are GONE! Remember: Just Tax The Rich and We ALL Can Thrive...

The $600 weekly enhanced unemployment benefit that was part of March's stimulus expired July 31. 

NOW, It's Disaster Economy Time!

Republicans in Congress are largely against extending the benefit, arguing that it disincentives people to return to work, thus preventing the economy from starting up again...  GOP=EVIL

With the coronavirus pandemic throwing many nonessential workers out of the labor force, the bonus has functioned like a universal basic income (a minimum income guaranteed by the government), and it's worked.

Republicans Live a MORALITY FREE LIFE... Good and Evil Just Don't Matter to Them... Only Obedience to Mad King Donald is Important... HEADLINE: Alexander Vindman in fiery op-ed upon military retirement: 'I believe that in America, right matters' - https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/01/politics/alexander-vindman-washington-post-op-ed-right-matters/index.html

Great Book:"Work in the Age of Robots (Encounter Intelligence)" by Mark Mills. Will Robots Take All Our Jobs? This Author says NO. My Experience was YES.

A Robot Took My Job... but I got a New Job at Half the Pay...

I worked as a Pen and Pencil Draftsman until Computer Automated Design [CAD] made me obsolete. I was a highly skilled Designer in the Computer Industry but a Low Paid Employee with a Computer could do more work, so I got laid off permanently. I switched to working as a Retail Sales Clerk at Radio Shack... A job with dramatically less pay or benefits. Then I went to College and got a BS in Computer Science Degree and got a High Paid Job at the County Government working at the Welfare Office determining Eligibility of People for Food Stamps and Medi-Cal... a Job that did not use my degree.

Are robots finally replacing humans? Does the emerging age of artificial intelligence and automation mean we will soon see “peak jobs” and the need for a Universal Basic Income to support a widening swath of hapless citizens unsuited for employment in a primarily “knowledge” workforce? Improving productivity—reducing labor hours per unit of product or service—has been the hallmark of economic progress for centuries. But advances due to robots and AI, some say, will be fundamentally different because digital machines are ready to revolutionize the nature of work in nearly every sector, not just one or two. But the lessons of history and the realities of technologies suggest that, despite yet more disruption, the overall result will be net job gains and faster economic growth.

What IF Jeff Bezos (Amazon) paid for a Universal Basic Income? After destroying the Jobs of Retail Clerks in Shopping Malls, what will those people do for a living?

Jeff Bezos has enough money to pay every person in the USA a thousand dollars a month... and we the people will spend a lot of that money on Amazon... Why Not?

Obama and Bezos Could Make Basic Income Work... The ex-president should persuade tech billionaires to fund universal pay plans. That’s the best way to see whether they’d work.

Are Russian BOTS promoting #WalkAway in order to Defeat Democratic Candidates? Or is it Republicrimes PRETENDING to be Russian BOTS?

https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/17/opinions/russian-bots-2018-midterm-elections-opinion-love/index.html  
The most recent example of this strategy is the #WalkAway hashtag, which is presented as a grassroots effort by former Democrats who are critical of the party's alleged intimidation, confrontation and lack of civility and want people to walk away from the party.
