$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('evilgenius', 'I') think OP is right to question the state of trickle down economics. I just saw a headline stating that so and so, a Senator, was going to try and talk Trump out of direct payments to citizens. The amount of those payments, when all sorts of self-employed people need them, has been talked down as well. I think that in the first few days of discussion I saw an amount as high as $3,000 tossed around. Now, it has gone down to around $1,000...

What's really needed is Universal basic income from a government that can issue its own debt free currency, no banksters skimming interest at each and every opportunity. With debt free money on government is in debt to the banks and can tax the money out of the system when it reaches the elite.
If the money is pumped in at the bottom, it does not then need to "trickle down".

With UBI only providing sufficient money for the absolute basics of life, there is still the incentive to work and earn extra, but no stigma of not working.

Even if your basic needs are covered, most will feel like a failure without a job.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('REAL Green', ' ') I feel it is coming over time as life becomes ever more difficult more people are turning to concrete action. Those who don't are the ones who will fall through the cracks. It is not so much prepping as living real.

I know what you're saying and I agree with most of it. But I think the stigma of "mooching" won't disappear with this system.

Its interesting in the US because trickle down obviously isnt working the people are in the streets demanding to go back to work or they will go broke.

In any other country, people would be demanding better healthcare and better safety nets to trickle down from the elites ,instead they are out there supporting the big orange elite and all his elite mates at the detriment of their own and the countries health.
Very strange indeed when witnessed as an outsider
