Incredibly honored & humbled to have worked with @RepRashida's office to develop this proposal to #MintTheCoin and use it to provide universal (and yes, we mean universal) emergency relief pre-paid US debit cards to every person in America.https://t.co/vDa8OAy8vt— Rohan Grey (@rohangrey) March 21, 2020
This is the kind of break-the-glass thinking we need to address the scale of the crisis. Hats off to @RashidaTlaib for thinking huge in terms of getting money into people's hands, and not listening to the "but how will we pay for it crowd. Let's #MTFC already. pic.twitter.com/RBJTnVlOdE— Joe Weisenthal (@TheStalwart) March 21, 2020
Thank you to @RashidaTlaib. First time I've smiled all week. Not even joking.— Joe Weisenthal (@TheStalwart) March 21, 2020
In my wildest dreams, I was like "Nobody in Washington is daring enough to mint the coin." And then @RashidaTlaib is like "Eff it, let's mint two of them"— Joe Weisenthal (@TheStalwart) March 21, 2020
