    Well when Republicans didn’t want to forgive even $10k worth of student loans cuz it’s “not fair to the people who paid it off” I’m not too optimistic we could convince them of UBI

      it isn’t really fair… so you make public trade schools, public technical colleges, and undergrad at a public college or university free, too.

      ‘here. go (back) to school, paid for by the wealthy.’

        paid for by the wealthy

        It wouldn’t be paid for by the wealthy. The wealthy only take, i.e. take all of the value created by the working. Have you seen how much goes in subsidies to private businesses to enhance their private business. That weath could pay for it, it’s where the wealthy get all their money.

        And great point about education being public and freely available. It’s beneficial on so many levels.

      Shit, on that particular issue, there were swaths of neoliberals who ignorantly locked arms with conservatives in screaming “no fair!”
