  1. Here’s the problem here if your disabled or a widow on SSA benefits here and your wife/husband died and was making 20-40 dollars an hour here with Yang’s UBI policy here. It’s only 1 grand a month with no medical and no ability to get food stamps from the state govt level as you still forced to work for money or die in a homeless shelter here. If you qualify for SSA benefits your either too old being at retirement age aka your a baby boomer OR your disabled and CAN NOT WORK under medical and the state-approved it fast-tracking it as well. 2100 dollars is what we get here thanks to my father’s job he had may God rest his soul and UBI to me is George W Bush’s stealth-like privatization of SSA in the 2000s he wanted to do here as the rich saying yes to ubi is a red flag to me as any sort of air money as my mom calls it gives too much control to the rich big businesses elites to ban and control things that are of the basic needs level such as applying for rent getting food and even selling your used things online and offline as well in a post fiat economic system they wanted for years now as the poor door theory of classism discriminatory policies is a thing with such rich elites even on the far left with socialist ways as they also know that they can’t afford all the people now as they are and will go back to building the border walls as the weather and climate get worse and farmers can not grow crops to feed the population here in the coming decades.

    No one on the left wants to marry UBI to Social Security in a DECENT and ECONOMICALLY PROFITABLE IDEA here as its highly unpopular and free healthcare to boot with denial and also for oral surgery with going under that costs thousands of dollars in dental insurance and medical insurance as the hospitals are businesses being highly corrupt is just why nothing will change here as they want the poor to be killed off like the baby boomers as well as Exxon effed up and lied so much global warming is now a thing even right-wingers can’t deny anywhere as they in the upper classes LOSE CONTROL OVER THE POOR. It’s never about giving them money it’s about control plain and simple saying ubi not ssa vs healthcare SSA and ubi in a complete upgrade of the social safety net package that includes ALL 3.

    The bottom line is this. UBI+SSA+complete healthcare/dental care with oral surgery for being put under for dental work is needed for that to be a good new deal for that to be a thing. But will the rich elites allow that even on the far left or extreme far-right or the capitalist centrist class? NO, THEY WON’T as they are about control, not economic equality.
