      So all we had to do to stimulate the economy was to give money to people that would spend it?

      Instead of padding C-suite bonuses?

      This is amazing. I hope the word gets out.

      Yes, Federal Minimum Wage raised to $20 an hour. No exceptions for training, farm work, under 18. Then go for Medicare for All. Level the playing field for all the States and companies.

      Let’s also try the aberrant idea of giving food stamps and basic cash aid to everyone who has it, but in perpetuity. Later just expand it to everyone no matter what.

      No job? You get it. Job? You get it. You don’t get it only if you opt out. And you can always opt back in.

      That would be horrendous for people, ugh!

      The horrors of working class people being paid a slightly less unlivable wage would be unimaginable
