The "basic" in universal basic income does not mean low. It means basic as in base. Foundational. Primary. First. Basic income is an income floor. All other income adds to it. It's basic income because it's everyone starting income.

If you listen to MAGA, they truly hate America and everything that makes it great. They hate democracy, free and fair elections, diversity, and the separation of church and state.
They should just leave. Go to Hungary, the country they love.

11/11 The best way to stop this would be to give Ukraine Russia’s frozen assets now.
Doing so would give Ukraine leverage over both Trump and Putin.

The boat strikes are illegal. Dope couriers are not military combatants. So killing them with air strikes instead of arresting them is murder. It’s that simple.

Calling them "drug wars" is submitting the the fascists' framing, because they're not providing any evidence whatsoever that the people they are bombing in international waters have anything to do with drugs. Also, trafficking drugs isn't a capital offense.
So, just a garden variety murder spree.

Has any prime minister ever gotten less political value out of a giant investment than Justin Trudeau got from TMX? Obviously environmental groups/voters were never going to like it, and most everyone else just pretends it never happened because it complicates the narrative.

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

Why does anyone think it’s okay to bomb boats that are suspected of carrying drugs? Since when is outright murder okay?
Even if you prove that these boats had drugs on them, there is nothing to justify this.
