"The War on Normal People". Workers are expendable. I suspect that a majority of workers are no longer needed - and worker-less innovations created during this virus will continue in the future.

Just listened to MSNBC as it relates to the DOJ desire to suspend a lot of the rights we take for granted - coupled with internment. If it passes, then we can look to Russia to know our future with fearless leader. If Trump is re-elected, I believe that we will no longer have a Republic. Hell, if Trump is given the opportunity, we may not have elections this fall.

I'm wondering if we are also beginning to see the possibility of Universal Basic Income as becoming more acceptable.
