   When I'm president, I'm gonna institute Universal BASIC Income.

   It'll be a stipend everyone gets, but it can only be used to purchase BASIC programming books or 8-bit computers.

     @foone@digipres.club will Visual Basic be included as part of this package or will I have to go work in a capitalist dystopia to take advantage of that offering

     @foone they're a bountiful little box of useful peripherals too. Bell 202 modem, keypad, at least two external serial ports, the magstripe reader, keypad, and VFD. I think there must also be a piezo beeper in there. Power is just bog standard 12v if I remember correctly

     I'll also fund designing a low cost computer for all the kids to learn on in school.

     We're currently looking for the right trans woman to design the new CPU architecture that'll power the PBS Microcomputer System.

     @wonka was it designed by a trans woman? That's a key requirement
