| Everything I’ve see. Says they’d replace welfare with this, that’s how they’d pay for it. No way republicans will ever agree to keeping both. I’m permanently disabled so my income will never improve. My explanation above was for everyone, disabled or non-disabled, who can improve their income and e... |

| Does anyone else ever do this? In case you don’t know the term “Ghosting” means to intentionally and suddenly stop communicating with people. Other terms are Dumping you friends, Abandoning your friends, Eliminating your friends. So you suddenly don’t meet them anymore, not talk to them, stop textin... |

| Sulforaphane is a chemical found in certain kinds of vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower. It is used for the prevention of prostate cancer and other types of cancer. It may increase the death of cancer cells. Sulforaphane (SFN) is the most characterized isothiocyanate. SFN has rec... |

| I like an NIT-style UBI, but Yang's version funded by a form of sales tax doesn't seem like quite such a good idea. Agree with Manny that it isn't as regressive as it first seems, but if you don't mind me saying Manny, I think the tax you have described would raise relatively little revenue and wou... |

| Yes. The leftist self proclaimed “progressives” are indeed hypocrites. They are only interested in groups that they can easily pander to, and capitalize on, because they are easily identifiable: women and/or racial minorities. ASD/autistic people are too vague and varied in gender and ethnicity, and... |

| Basic Income is strange. We dramatically increase prices on everything, and then give everyone an equal money to offset the price increases. Why? Not everything. It is NOT a Value Added Tax on everything. There are exemptions on essential goods that poor and working class people definitely need. Ya... |

| I find Yang's implementation of UBI to be really flawed. Yang plans on funding UBI with a VAT (Value-added tax). Which means the lower income brackets will be disproportionately affected --these people have to spend the largest proportion of their income. Actually Yang’s VAT (Value Added Tax) is nu... |

Sulforaphane, a chemical found in cruciferous plants has been shown to clearly reduce Autism symptoms.
Well I guess it’s time to take in some Sulforaphane.

| Harris is despicable. She is a power-hungry self-righteous hypocrite who destroys innocent people’s lives. I think Tulsi Gabbard should kneecap Harris some more. She panders her Black side to get the Black vote for the election. But in reality for her Black lives really don’t matter. https://youtu.b... |

| Yang showed in the debate how Bernie has good intentions, but his idea is archaic old school stuff and not the progressive innovative way to go. I think Yang’s UBI or “Freedom Dividend” is the better, more efficient, more speedy and more practical solution that gives people freedom of choice to crea... |
