Notice I didn't say it was ok if true or that I support it or how things are possibly being handled.

I'm asking you to tell me what I can do about it.

Since I didn't vote for Trump or Hillary, don't tell me to vote for the next fake ass politician who doesn't give a damn about the US people anyways. Lay it out for me what you want me or anyone else on this board to do. What is it?

"Open your eyes" doesn't count as a response either. What do you want us to do?

You feel like you can identify all the problems. You might can identify some. But WHAT THE F*$K DO YOU WANT ANYONE OF US TO DO? Or are you just bitching just to bitch? And if you are, you are bitching at the wrong people.

Someone referenced it earlier, but it's such a great quote (and a great movie in general) i'm gonna bring it back up. "If you get shown a problem, but have no idea how to control it, you just decide to get used to the problem." Definitely applies here. I don't have all the answers and fixing this system is not a quick and easy process. But the first step to solving any problem... is admitting that there is a problem. So thank you, for being willing to take that step and admit that there is a problem. 3. The only solution we have right now is to be the change we want to see in the world. So be informed. Inform others. Vote (even if it is abstaining. That's still a vote. (Here's wishing we could Brewster's Millions "None of the Above" this presidential campaign.)) Exercise your rights. Don't fall victim to the overwhelming system and feel like it can't be changed. Andrew Yang got hardly any votes in the democratic primaries; however, 4UBI has now come to the forefront of political discussion. That small of a voting bloc had the power to get that idea interjected into the conversation. That's where it starts. Grassroots movements can still happen and cause policy change even if they don't win. Bernie Sanders has definitely help shift the debate into realms that weren't thought possible on American soil. Change is possible. We just have to stay vigilant before it's too late.

1. Literally the first word of your response is what I said not to tell me is a solution. Politicians will do whatever they or their puppeteers pull their strings and tell them to do. Thanks for nothing.

2. You can be informed and still have nothing but crooked ass politician to choose from. (Like every presidential election I've been able to vote in) By the time they are in the position to be elected president (or any other high ranking office) they are so bought and have their pockets so lined it defeats the purpose. The fact that you believe any politician, republican or democrat will make the right decisions for the American people without some sort of angle being played is the problem. You just lap up whatever the side you are on says.

3. So all your political posts on here are you being the change in this world that we all need?.... Fail. IF ANYTHING they are divisive.

4. He would remain with hardly any votes if it weren't for so many people losing their jobs and looking for something to help them through this. This isn't going to last forever. Guarantee you when things get back to normal most of those who signed up for UBI would be complaining about where the rest of their check was. Or as someone else posted, efficiency and work ethic would plummet because there is no benefit to working harder than the next guy. To pretend like everyone has the same initiative and motivation is foolish.


Sorry folks. I know this is political and irrelevant to the COVID thread. I'll drop it with this post.
