what about the people in less populated areas?? seniors on soc sec?? can not get any help at all! nada!! just higher prices week after week!! i can not even qualify to get my 175 dollars back each month for medicare!! they told me my monthly income qualifies but because i have a little in savings i dont qualify, they said once its gone i could probably qualify!! so if an emergency happens theres no money, or keep payin the 175 medicare an struggle!!

Since we are all going to be replaced by robots why not start sending checks out now.

[@ChristineCircelli-go2yw]

Yes. We need a universal basic income so people can save and invest the money to make more money. This money could then be used to pay off debt and so much more.

[@AbbyEllie69]

That’s a hard no!

[@PabloRodriguez-xj1yk]

Absolutely not.

[@dorino9057]

Yes

[@jimhatfield9274]

NO! That's socialism.
