I think UBI and healthcare would be the least of his issues. Trump showed that social conservatism/fiscal liberalism could be a winning formula for GOP voters. I wouldn’t be surprised if some young, socially conservative candidate in 2024/2028 who is willing to cancel debt/fund stimulus/healthcare wins by a landslide.

I wouldn’t say 250k per person per bank per account type is a tiny amount. Moving money from a bank account to the market is a significant increase in risk for all but the most wealthy.

The Lancet actually played a major role in promoting anti-vaccine sentiment.

They were the ones who initially published Andrew Wakefield's now-discredited research [1] linking the MMR vaccine to autism. This research and the media attention it garnered massively undermined public trust in vaccines in both the UK and US.

It took them over a decade to officially retract the article.

Life expectancy for a 40 year old in the US is ~80. It is very likely that with an average lifestyle the parents will be around after the child has graduated college.

The solution is to make suburbs more dense so that people are closer to the places they want to go. I suppose this would ultimately result in a “town” rather than a suburb, though.

What do you mean by “dollars that are rapidly losing value”?
