Considering how the government spends money on so much other shit, it would cost a pittance in comparison, and generate more flow in the economy.
I’m not last, I’m just gonna take advice from someone who probably stabs homeless people.
Like I said before, amazing how people will argue against their better interests. Really bold of you to assume I’m just lazy, too.
It’s really funny that you got this bent out of shape when someone just asks “why not both”
Ah well can’t help everyone, especially when they won’t bother trying, right?
That’s pretty fucking stupid since people worked on stuff outside of subsistence farming well before money existed. You’re so wrapped up in how things are and how you think things should work you’re not seeing anything potential. In your bleak worldview humanity must enslave itself. Maybe if you had a perspective that was more focused on the happiness and well-being of humans you could use that oh-so-massive big brain of yours to figure out a way for people to have their needs met and have a functioning society, but your motivations are clearly set in a different direction.
Whatever man if you care more about macroeconomics than actually helping people that’s a pretty sociopathic take. We could easily pay for a ubi with tax reform and it is one of those things that generates more money than we put into it, but what do I know, I’m someone you assume is an idiot.
It’s amazing to me how some people fight so hard against something that would benefit them. Like, if I offered to send you $500 a month no strings attached, would you really be against it?
They have done a lot of studies and test runs with UBIs, they seem to work pretty well and most people use them to pay off debts, save up some, educate themselves and still work. Iirc employment actually went up and people were more productive because they didn’t have to worry as much. (Not that productivity should like, be a goal that magically makes something valid to exist and if it isn’t should be scrapped) You’ve probably seen a bunch of stuff online about it so I doubt I’d convince you of anything at this point.
As for inflation, looks like people can price gouge their way to hyper inflation just fine without a ubi, so yeah, not sure why you’d be against a check every month.
So that goes back to my original comment, porque no las dos?
Did you mean to say if they weren’t a right?
I like your funny words magic man
You can thank Regan for that one
I thought it was foreshadowed in retrospect, like, you’re not supposed to figure it out in advance but when you look back you see all the clues and pieces and that it was there the whole time
That’s not true people like feelgood videos and cute animals and wait hold up …

Ah now I know exactly what kind of person you are, nevermind
Why so salty about a dad sharing his interests and stuff from his life with his kid? She can play other games too.
The ratio says otherwise
There’s so many flavors of feminism, and some self described feminists have been pretty wack, I’m just gonna be an egalitarian.
I think that since you’re aware of typos and context clues you knew that was the case.
Ending a sentence with a proposition is just fine. Picky people whom I’ve only seen parodies of on the Internet go “oh you ended your sentence with a preposition I have no idea what you mean by ‘He went in’ maybe you could explain what he went into? A jello mold? A ditch? What did go into?”
You asked if he went into the store and I said he went in, you know what I meant because of CONTEXT CLUES.
I’ve never met anyone who’s ever been this picky but I’m ready to bite them if I ever find one.
That’s some uhh real interesting commentary there
It’s this dissing the radio?
Ah, I see where the problem lies.
You were so wrapped up in the current situation that your very limited imagination couldn’t comprehend changing it, and you’re myopically focused on the world as it is instead of what it could be. I can understand someone who isn’t very creative having a hard time thinking outside of what’s put in front of them, so I’m sorry I was trying to introduce a hypothetical that was so over your head that you clearly got frustrated with the situation.
You were clearly thinking from a “how could we work this ass things are” situation because of your mental limitations, and I was casually thinking of hypotheticals and being goal first oriented, thinking of the optional situation and willing to work backwards.
So yes, of course my cavalier suggestion wouldn’t work in the economic system we have now, and since you’re not really able to look outside of that, you, like a frustrated child, see it as an impossibility and lashed out.
I think it would certainly be a noble goal and something to work towards, humanity having it’s basic needs met with a small stipend on top of that, and what a pity there’s people who would fight tooth and nail against such an idealized situation.
I suppose you’re very much wrapped up in the puritanical thought of life without work is sinful and should be avoided, especially with your repeated accusations of laziness directed at me, so such a future would be a nightmare for you. I only assume you never plan on retirement and view retired people with contempt for their lack of toil. It’s why I assume you wish to stab homeless people, for their sloth. You say you’re for nationalized education, housing, good and healthcare but honestly I don’t think your heart is in it if one of your big arguments against ubi is the same one being used against all those things, the horrible idea that some people might not work when they could.
Ah well, have fun working towards humanity having to do perpetual labor forever, I’m sure that’s a great idea. Wouldn’t want too many idle hands and all.
