Hi Will.

I meet a lot of Europeans out here on the highway, and they are thouroughly aghast at how we treat our elderly, service vets, unemployed, etc.

It is well past the time that we seriously consider an old idea, once proposed by none other than Richard Nixon, the idea of a Universal Income for all. 

I refer everyone to an article by Kathleen Pender that ran in the SF Chronicle Business Report on July 16, 2017 for edification..
