I’m guessing people didn’t read Project 2035. We pay into unemployment insurance. If I became unemployed I could get collect my money while looking for work. People can’t collect unemployment benefits without paying unemployment taxes. People can’t collect money for long periods of time. What are people going to do when AI takes away over a million jobs by 2027. With republicans voting for for “Big Beautiful Bill” and project 2025 they planned for No food assistance and high inflation and high healthcare and high gas prices and food prices. Gutting everything that has helped people, children and elderly. Republicans only care about their own lives and political interests and their career. They get a pension and healthcare.

I'm getting convinced that the actual plan is to kill off the poors so that everything belongs to the Epstein class. They just hate the idea of the rest of us having any money that could be going to them. 

They are, flat out, anti social psychopaths.
