today is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday.
remember: for him, the second stage of the civil rights movement was eradicating poverty for all Americans.
that bad check from his I HAVE A DREAM speech?
that wasn’t a metaphor. there is no capitalism without inequality. racism is inequality. poverty is inequality.
for MLK, the 2nd stage of the CRM was about getting a Universal Basic Income #UBI for all.
guess who was running for POTUS in 1968 & thought it was a good idea?
Bobby Kennedy.
