I sure could use some of that free shit.

Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) called for introducing a universal basic income (UBI) of $1,000 a month until coronavirus "no longer presents a public health emergency."

"Most Americans don't have that safety emergency bank account even for a short term, what to speak of if you're talking about weeks, or in this case people are looking at potentially months," Gabbard said in an interview on Hill.TV.

Her proposal, H.R. 897, would give a UBI of $1,000 per month to all adult Americans “until COVID-19 no longer presents a public health emergency.”

The idea of a UBI of $1,000 a month was made popular by former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang, who made the program a centerpiece of his campaign.

Coronavirus has killed at least 40 Americans and there are more than 1,700 cases nationwide as of Friday morning, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

The spread of the virus has sparked wide concerns about the economy, leading to the cancellation of numerous events and conferences.

Gabbard remains in the presidential though her campaign is widely seen as unviable. Former Vice President Joe Biden has built a wide lead in the delegate count for the Democratic nomination followed by his chief rival Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

Surprised she beat Comrade Bernie to the punch with this swell idea.

How is she still in the race?

Tough shit. Not my fault. If people stopped living beyond their means they would have what’s called a savings account. Imagine that.

The Democrat Party platform.

Not going to happen.

Click bait.

Agreed, probably won't happen, but how is this click bait? It is reporting what a presidential office-seeker actually said.

I can think of a few new guns I need if the gov't is going to buy them for me.

There may not be enough goods on store shelves for that $1,000/month to be useful.

I would never vote for this person but, I did go see pictures of her in a bikini..

...fine, as long as Welfare is eliminated. Can't have both.

That’s not enough.

She's a non-contender. Extreme shit always gets repeated. Click bait.

There will be individuals that profit greatly from this crisis. The small business owner and the average middle class person do not fall in this category.

I would say the probability of President Trump proposing large cash payments to families is more likely than not.

I'm in!
Just as long as that money comes out of HER POCKET, and no one else.
