    Universal basic income, basically, yes. Which would ideally revolutionize a lot, so while I’m drooling over the idea in a perfect world, I’m also banking on something about it being horribly twisted before they ever consent to do something close to that. They’d have more money to put back into the economy than they are, but people scrambling in poverty don’t have the energy to take an active interest in the doings of the elite.

    Their site lists:

    For every 50 Champions contributing $200/month each, AFA will hire one more DC advocate!

    So $120k per year. Googling the current salary of a DC lobbyist gets me anywhere from $56k - $210K. Should have just done that instead, huh. Getting into political arguments with strangers could have been a paid gig.
