„What I have done I have done because it has been play“
"What I have done I have done because it has been play. If it had been work I shouldn't have done it… The work that is really a man's own work is play and not work at all… The product of slavery, intellectual or physical, can never be great."—Mark Twainhttps://t.co/IZtsudMXoy pic.twitter.com/ySbnZNwMjt

Increasing income by reducing taxes or by Basic Income?
Pretty much every Republican ever: "If you vote for me, I will increase your income by reducing your taxes."
Media: "Sound legit."
Yang: "Here's $1000/mo. Do anything you want with it. I'd rather change lives for the better than spend it on advertising."
Media: "Sounds fishy." https://t.co/7UIIy5wiGK
