I have just opened a new account in this thread as I continue my 5-year-long quest of promoting my late son, Gerald Huff's advocacy for Universal Basic Income. The non-profit I run is engaged in a nation-wide campaign challenging the myth that we live in a meritocracy:

It's not the same. There is a positive, visionary message that the left can promulgate:

So many things to protest but at the core of our nightmare is the rigged economy, the myth that the oligarchs have perpetuate that the American Dream is real and that you, too, can achieve it. BS:

For the longest time, the elites have propaganted that we live in a meritocracy and if you work hard blah, blah, blah. That's a lie and never more so than now:

The American Dream is so far from reality for so many people in our country that to believe in it is to be complicit in the rising power of the ultrarich and multinational corporations. Reject the myth. Ask for an economy that would make the Dream possible.
