Trickle Down has never worked in the past, but yet it gets votes again and again because the big companies put people in office, and it's payback. Politicians make out that they are public servants but it always ends up with "You scratch my back, I'll put a knife in yours".
UBI will never happen here, too much systemic corruption to get past. IMHO America is past the point of repair.
Maybe that's for the best & states like California will actually secede & the USA will no longer be United.

I hope to the dickens that Washington state can join California, or mebbe BC. that would be my backdoor way into being a Canadian citizen or resident, at least. but I've long thought that a divided house [like Lincoln said] cannot stand. since slavery joined the picture, our union was ultimately untenable.
If we in Washington and Oregon join with California, maybe we can call ourselves Pacifica!
your lips to god's ears 
let it happen before the crazies make Gideon a reality.

Something like this has been considered for many years & the proposed name has been Cascadia.

freedom and ignorance can't coexist. still, nobody chose ice cream?
