Hello! Im sorry if you answered this before. It m all for UBI, but I was wondering how the government could afford it? Especially with the economy crashing, no jobs, increased government spending. Sorry if you answered this already!

The NDP proposed a very low wealth tax in the last federal election that would generate about $7 billion dollars per year. This was set at just 1% for those earning over $20 million dollars.

Set that at 5% and you’re looking at revenues at 35 billion dollars per year.

That won’t pay for all of it, but it is a significant sum of money, and more taxes on the rich could be implemented and corporate tax giveaways revoked.

The brownface Trudeau face had been splashed across social media a few years ago as well. People just ranted and raved for a few days then forgot about it. It’s how our media works in today’s day and age. I’m brown myself but it’ll really piss me off of this is the reason he doesn’t get elected. Trudeau’s done dumb shit, but our current policy of rage campaigns, smear campaigns, outrage media drives people. No one votes on policy. It’s, “who’s been the most problematic”

I get your point, but stuff like this isn’t separate from policy. If a politician repeatedly did something racist in the past, there’s a strong chance he’s still a racist, which then means there’s a very strong chance he’ll enact racist policies.

Why is the first part bad? I mean he can buy the grocery store and give its groceries for free and it'll be equivalent to me giving a penny out of a million dollars....

it’s not BAD, they just have to plan for it now because more people keep coming into the store and he keeps having to help THEM and then it’s been 6 hours and pepper literally just sent him out for tylenol bc they were out and tony you missed supper PLEASE--

so, it’s more that it turns into a time-consuming thing after which he’s offered jobs to like a dozen people and funded school for twice as many and they’ve gotta plan for that now. no quick in-and-out grochery runs for tony.

#underapaperbag #especially bc there's a lot more better far-reaching stuff they can do in 6 hours?#like. yes he can make a difference to. however many people walk into that store #but also there's foodbanks and bullying every other company on the planet into paying it's workers fairly and treating them well #and that's gonna do more and more long-term

Favorite book series? One go to fuzzy novel from your childhood? Favorite tea?

I probably don’t have a fave book series for my current age but my absolute go to in my teens was Darren Shan. Fuzzy childhood novel is probably that one about the giant magical tree that takes you to different lands. Read it in a night when I was a kid, hiding with a torch under my doona. I really only drink English Breakfast lol

Can you give a script or pointers on what to say to an MP when you call their office? I can call but I dont know what to say

I’m probably not the best person to ask. I have pretty bad social anxiety so I usually prefer to contact representatives by email.
