OLD PARTY LINE: Of course a guaranteed income won’t support a life of non-work! See my study!
NEW PARTY LINE: Of course a guaranteed income will support lifetime non workers (who “play video games or melt into Netflix”)! But why talk about *them*?

This is just not a fair characterization of the Trumpists I’m familiar with>>> “On the right, the barest glimmer of worker power is treated as a policy emergency, and the whip of poverty, not the lure of higher wages, is the appropriate response.” https://t.co/VBnRJoheGW
