If Nikole Hannah Jones starts giving financial advice, it's probably best to ignore it.
“You know what Covid taught me? That we have enough. For everybody. Overnight we printed $6 Trillion. We had universal health care. We had universal basic income. Covid proved it’s possible.” - Nikole Hannah-Jones #EquitySummit24 @policylink

As she gets large sums of cash for spouting nonsense, she may not realize the economy is very bad. Inflation is through the roof and interest rates are sky high. That is because of the money printed during COVID. So perhaps printing all the money was a really bad idea.
We had enough to get through that initial few months, but then there were global shortages of many things for 18 months afterward. And Universal Healthcare?? You don't remember that huge numbers of procedures were postponed or canceled so hospitals could focus on covid?

All the kids who were late getting vaccines and all the mammograms put off leading to women having advanced cancer before it was finally caught? Yes, that.
I agree. 100%

I dont understand why the government cant just send a check for $5 million to every American household and solve all these problems.
Can someone please explain it to me??
Republicans suck!
That's basically their level of consciousness.

People massively reduced their consumption during covid, and as soon as consumption revived, inflation skyrocketed. https://t.co/fDm8cTcIoy
