Back to the issue at hand

UBI

No but our chemical make up does, and that make up is not in our control.

I don't buy the stands of time thing eiher.

You or what you think of as you is not the think of your thoughts.

So about hte issue with UBI

doesn't matter,

People kill each other willingly,

The issue with UBI, is the same issue of why communism/socialism doesn't work,

People don't work for free, and when it becomes perfectly livable to not work at all, the huge majority will opt for that

and whatever remains will not be able to sustain it

The intent with UBI is that when you deal with someones most pressing issue, it would allow them more leway to move on to other issues.

now im off to dinner 😦 i'll be able to discuss this more when i'm back

No people don't work for free, they work for money, but a welfare state isn't an attack on capitalism.

Socialism is not welfare.

We are talking non labor tasks, like creativity or innovation

At least not in the way you're saying it.

Thats statism

No I dont think welfare is socialism, I think its statism

Okay, call it what you want.

Look, So the UBI is trying to solve this issue for this payback

GIve people mroe time to persue other topics. Stuff like create art, invent stuff, or get an education

And hopefully earn enough to go past the UBI

UBI is try to solve the problem of people who can't work shouldn't be forced into hell because of their lack of skills.

And Isnt that what welfare is right now?

Not really.

UBI is that, but for everyone regardless of income

Okay, who gets welfare?

UBI should cover that right? Thats the point right?

No

Who gets welfare?

Okay, what Im given to understand.

UBI means everyone gets a fixed wage.

No.

Regardless of status.

Not correct.

Enlighten me please

Who gets welfare?

This isn't a trick question.

I mean like I said, I thought UBI was the welfare

Right but who gets welfare.

Because UBI is covering what welfare as it is traditionally known .

Everyone gets UBI

What is welfare meant to do.
