@AlexHowlettUBI So I'm starting to understand that UBI and debt limits are limited to improved productive capacity, but wouldn't increasing it also affect the labor market, which would then affect productive capacity?
Just giving people $12,000 won't erase poverty
It will cause a substantial increase in the cost of low skill labor which will see the cost of goods go up along with it
In turn we will see rapid inflation to cover costs of low skill labor wiping out the buying power of the 12k

Logged on for the first time in about 6 months. This was the exact reason I got off of Twitter.
But was cool to see a bunch of familiar faces. Hope you all are doing well!

In real conversations, speakers who frequently spout anger, contempt, insults, and obscenity are shunned. On Twitter, they are amplified. Twitter is not a public conversation, it’s a public coliseum. @elonmusk, please rethink the social incentives.

Republicans appointed the judges, Republicans pushed the rhetoric, and Republicans are to blame.
Andrew Yang says Democrats need to apologize. I logged into Twitter for the first time in 6 months to say this is garbage and the final straw for Andrew from me.
I'm out.

It feels like Democrats owe their people an apology for being bad at their jobs - they had a long time to codify Roe v. Wade, defend a balanced court, get RBG to step down, etc. Instead they got played and trounced. “Help undo our failures!” is not a compelling rallying cry.

I want to be careful in how I say this because obviously you can't just break into the Capitol and desecrate offices and hit police officers with pipes. People should be arrested. But I don't think they should be our focus.

The bar for 2021 is so low, but let’s just be like Lindsey Graham and clear it.

I prayed @JoeBiden would lose.
He won.
He’s the legitimate president of the United States.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are lawfully elected and will become the president and vice president of the United States on January 20th.

The key question now is whether congressional Democrats facing purple or red electorates learned the lesson of 2010: You win reelection by delivering real benefits to people fast, not by shrinking and slowing bills that would improve lives in a performance of moderation.

The political lesson Dems should learn from this is, as @annielowrey would say, just Give People Money. Don't get too clever with it. Don't do complicated tax cuts and hard-to-apply-for programs. When people need help, just help them, and trust them to use the money well.

ON @MSNBC, @chrislhayes cites our recent poll showing the *overwhelming* public support for $2,000 checks which @ReverendWarnock and @ossoff have run on in Georgia.
$2,000 coronavirus relief checks aren't just popular — they're good politics. Poll: dataforprogress.org/blog/202…

The first day of the office work year is over. Which means the average CEO at a big company has now made more money than their median worker will make all year.
Average CEO pay: $21.3 million - $81,600 every work day
Pay for their workers: $66,800 all year ($256 every work day)
