I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote:

"To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace."

No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

Why is it that every time he speaks I feel like I'm listening to a high school student who is in the process of taking a public speech course with poor guidance from their teacher?

This definitely makes me re-think the whole ordering online or through an app for my food! I would hate for restaurants to go out of business because of this trend.

I just don’t think we’re freaking out enough about this SNAP cut. I have spent my whole career working with people who rely on SNAP for food. People who work multiple jobs. Who have kids. What do you think happens when 1/8th of the population can’t buy food anymore? Everything is going to collapse.

Every Billionaire right now needs to sit down with the financial advisors that we all know they have to manage their money and figure out how much $ they are going to start donating to Feeding America, Action Against Hunger, etc.

I find myself falling into some "Democrat" stereotypes and some "Republican" stereotypes as well, which I guess is why I feel so isolated politically sometimes because both parties are so incredibly polarized. It's very disheartening, honestly.
