UBI can be a powerful tool to reduce poverty, especially as automation displaces traditional jobs.

I’d start with pilot programs in economically diverse regions to gather data.

Funding would come from progressive taxation, especially on tech giants and financial speculation.

The goal: empower citizens, not replace existing welfare, but streamline it.

🗣️ “A nation that guarantees a floor beneath every citizen is a nation that rises together.”

Mandatory conscription feels outdated and coercive.

Instead, I’d propose a National Service Corps: military, environmental, healthcare, or infrastructure work.

Incentives: tuition support, housing credits, and job training.

This builds unity without forcing militarization.

🗣️ “Service should be a choice, not a sentence.”

Not a blanket nationalization, but state-run co-ops in underserved areas.

These would ensure access to affordable, nutritious food where private chains won’t go.

Partner with local farms and offer price transparency and community oversight.

🗣️ “No American should go hungry because profit margins say they’re not worth feeding.”

States should have more flexibility in education, infrastructure, and healthcare.

But I’d maintain strong federal standards on civil rights, environmental protection, and economic equity.

Autonomy must not become a loophole for injustice.

🗣️ “Liberty in diversity, unity in values.”
