AOC And Her Staff Should Have Leaned Into The 'Unwilling To Work' Phrase; Dave Weigel Is Wrong Again

Had AOC's office asked me, I would have said the wording is too stark for shithead America, and I would have advised a change to some anodyne bullshit about income security for all.  Same idea, but not the sort of thing that makes idiots upset.  However, once it was out there, AOC and her advisors should have gone for it, telling everyone that the less than one percent of Americans who would sit around all day drinking coffee or smoking weed instead of working deserve dignity and money and food and security and shit, and that any lazy teabagging fuckface who quits their job to go on Basic Income is welcome to it because some eager young progressive will be happy to take that job, thank you very much.  Plus, giving stoned surfer dudes money even if they don't feel like working is still a sound economic policy because it stimulates local economies with a well-documented and well-understood, for anyone who is not a conservative, multiplier effect.  Weigel is wrong that AOC's staff only meant older working-class folks near the end of their working lives who might not want to learn a difficult new skill set for Google.  Unfortunately, AOC's failure to stand up makes Weigel and the rest of the Bezos Post jerkoff pissboy types think they're right about somethin'.  Sad.
