MGB: Russo is exploring the road towards a Uniformed Basic Income, or UBI. It might work if no one had to to work, but there will always be people who do.

It is the antidote to consumerism.
The ICE spate of arrests is what happens when an agency is allowed to give license to its darkest desires. I suspect quotas are involved and low hanging fruit is allowed to be picked.
The Trump base is figuring out that it has been had. The pro-life movement is trying to put on a good face, but they have to know what is happening.
I won't waste my time on a Burke interview. Let him fade away.
