"A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone."
(lemmy.world)
I wouldn't mind it, only 1% waste is pretty good for a social program.
If it works and papers over Trump's approval, the Republic is dead.
If it doesn't work, Trump's approval is still far higher than it should be, and the Republic may already be dead anyway.
What a time to be alive.
Any number over zero is far higher than it should be. His fans truly disgust me.

The Republic is already dead. What you're seeing is its twitching corpse moving.
Yeah, I suspect as much. Hence the "the Republic may already be dead anyway."
Still, I like to cover all the possibilities. M-maybe the Republic is just pinin' for the fjords?
A lot of people missing the timing and current context of this idea.
Our representatives are now spinning you a story about how they had to cave on the government shuttdown because they wanted you to have your SNAP benefits for the holidays. And that they'll "later" work out what they're going to do about the healthcare premiums that are rising as high as 1000% in some cases.
Fuckers, we LOANED you all that money, you're giving us back a fraction of what we expect from our government. We didn't ask for war with Venezuela, we didn't ask for tariffs and mass deportations, we didn't ask for anyone to bail out tech companies and criminals and we certainly didn't ask for a goddamn ballroom.
They throw this back at us like we should be grateful that they're willing to give us $300 for food when we fall down, instead of treating that like an inalienable right in the wealthiest country on earth. To say nothing of the healthcare debacle.
We're one of the only nations on earth who charge you as much as a new car just to walk in and get care for minor problems. Every other nation who wants an actual healthy population who can work and generate their GDP actually want their people healthy and educated.
But our "representatives" come up with deals to make it look like the crumbs they throw you are somehow a sacrifice they're willing to make for you. IT'S YOUR MONEY TO BEGIN WITH.
If I heard right he doesn't mean direct payments. More vague "tax savings" and such that total to this.
That's what it was last time.
You being handed your own money back, with a letter bearing Donald's name pretending he was giving you something. And it worked, which is why you saw Abbott doing something similar with the flood relief checks in Texas. (Though really he was handing NY and Cali's money to poor Texans.)
Tocqueville assumed Congress would pay the bribe. Trump won't pay a cent to anyone.
The money will be paid to the businesses to offset to stupid tariffs. The rich get richer. It's just more steps.
If we take money from a criminal, doesn't that make us all criminals?
