The true mark of an humane society is not how it treats its billionaires, but how it treats people who can do nothing.

I think what some people need to understand is this. Say you were born in Poland, in 1927. Your education was interrupted by the war, and you were able to escape as the Soviets were entering and you arrived at a refugee camp in Germany or Switzerland, and, in 1948, with a thumbnail knowledge of English, a small suitcase and the clothes on your back, you set sail for the USA, and after arriving in New York, travelled by train to Michigan where you found an assembly line job with Ford. At the time, the US economy was labor-intensive and was converting wartime production into peacetime production, so they needed workers. Fast-forward nearly 75 years, and it's not the same. Americans shouldn't hate Mexicans or other Latin Americans, because it's not a Mexican's fault if Ford says, "Okay, we'll close this factory in Michigan and import the vehicles from Mexico, because wages are lower." (Hint: greater company profits).

There is a perception among the right-wingers that a Universal Basic Income is money for nothing, and what some other Americans don't understand is, those who'll say, "Oh, but I pumped gas at a filling station to put myself through college, and now Biden's forgiving student debt," need to be asked, "But when was that?" And if they say, "1975," you can say, "That's good. BUT, in 1975, filling stations had driveway attendants who, when you brought your car in, checked the oil and water and tire pressure, cleaned your windscreen and pumped gas. Then, filling stations went self-serve."

Nobody should be left behind, and what people also need to understand is, those who say, "Oh, but it'll finish up in drug dealers' pockets," need to remember something else. Namely, that drug addiction is not solely the preserve of the unemployed.
