Btw, if you take issue with my usage of "wage slavery" to describe our existing labor market and at the same time you worry that unconditional basic income would mean too many people would stop working, you really need to connect those dots.

Also the term "wage slavery" used to be common terminology in the US. It was even used by the Republican Party. It even used to be the core of the labor movement. We need to rediscover this history and return to demanding real freedom—the power to say no.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oztdRo9GLLk …

The shackles of a middle-class lifestyle are truly brutal. Free time, vacations, owning a home, infinite knowledge in your pocket. We’re SOOOOOO oppressed here in the middle-class. Actually, it’s too many people like you trying to pull others down instead of pulling yourself up.pic.twitter.com/jBMl73R6Zp

Congrats on using the logic that's part of the reason this giant gap has been growing for decades. That the middle class has continued taking pride in "at least not being poor" as they've been robbed of the wealth they've been generating is something we need to fix not celebrate.pic.twitter.com/xFROeNN2OF

"vacations, owning a home" Not sure
@AaronPaulBaker1 is too familiar with the economic realities that many Americans face. -
Middle class. Like most people I know.

Can you please define "middle class?" I've heard people making $25k/yr and people making $150k/yr describe themselves as members.

Wage slaves are growing around the world. Basic income will give them freedom and not relying on their dictator boss.

Rich people can't earn money if poor people ain't spending it. I hate it when people disingenuously ignore that half of the cycle.

When you're an inveterate psychopath I suppose getting rich IS fairly easy since there are no boundaries inhibiting your actions and no pesky conscience to make you feel guilty about them.

Tá moill ar an lódáil, is cosúil.
Tá Twitter ag cur thar maoil le gníomhaíocht nó tá fadhb eile ann. Bain triail eile as nó tabhair cuairt ar Stádas Twitter chun tuilleadh eolais a fháil.
