Uncertain grounds
How do you determine the “amount”? And what justifiable reason would make people who make “more” than this defined amount not deserve help? Especially if they had to
Invest more reaources (i.e debt) to make more then this defined amount?


It's an inexact science. How do they do it now for SSI, disability and taxes? They have certain numbers for tax brackets and shyt..How do they come up with that? At some point or another it's all bs but I stand firm that money/support given for specific things is better than just cash.

Basic income is an insanely stupid idea but folks here will get behind it anyway.

Michael Tubbs, the former Stockton mayor who made national headlines for experimenting with universal basic income initiatives, announces he’s running for California lieutenant governor

How’d that experiment play out?

Seems like a decent dude! Idk why folks are scared of basic income… screams classist and hatred of the poor

I hope they’re watching this man… he’s the future of the party.

I’m so tired of these politicians who if you offered them the right opportunity they’d be moving completely opposite of what they did to get them in their current position.

Kendrick should campaign for him.

No thank you!

Good for him. The whites will racism the experience and make it absolutely miserable for him, but Godspeed.

Ha, like that is going to happen. California, White liberal ruled. Illegals, latinos replacing blacks, white guilt elite libs rule. A white guy who promised reparations and didn't deliver. He puts blacks last, but allows them to commit crime. But then again, Cali likes tokens.

So I guess California can sink further down the toilet.

The dream that brought millions to California for a better life is increasingly out of reach.

We won’t restore California’s promise by looking to the past. We need a bold vision for the future.

That’s why I’m running to be California’s next Lieutenant Governor.

It's time for California to lead on solving big problems instead of just talking about them.

Because together, we're going to write California's next chapter.

I'm asking you to join me in choosing action over apathy: Become a Founding Donor | Michael Tubbs for Lt. Governor

LFGGGG 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 California needs you.

Yasssss!!!!

Yaaaaaaaaas!! I'm all in.

Get it, Michael!!💙

You don't need a "bold vision". The government needs to stop taxing people and start letting people do their own thing in business. The government is the entire problem.

9/11
I’m in, let’s do this!

10/11
Good luck!

11/11
Good luck! Pretty sure I’ll be voting for you.
