57. many business can't afford it, UBI is the real answer

Mon Apr 27, 2020, 12:18 PM

Apr 2020

small businesses, particularly in high labor industries, can't afford to pay a lot more than they do now.

The money needs to come from the government, and needs to be drawn from the pockets of those who have excess (the rich and big businesses)

UBI is the real answer.
