      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!

      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.
