Regardless of status.

2018-07-26 17:05:32 UTC  

Not correct.

2018-07-26 17:05:38 UTC  

Enlighten me please

2018-07-26 17:05:48 UTC  

Who gets welfare?

2018-07-26 17:06:27 UTC  

This isn't a trick question.

2018-07-26 17:06:42 UTC  

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

2018-07-26 17:06:54 UTC  

Right but who gets welfare.

2018-07-26 17:07:01 UTC  

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

2018-07-26 17:07:08 UTC  

Everyone gets UBI

2018-07-26 17:07:09 UTC  

What is welfare meant to do.

2018-07-26 17:07:20 UTC  

To do what UBI does as well?

2018-07-26 17:07:26 UTC  

No.

2018-07-26 17:07:33 UTC  

What is the purpose of welfare.

2018-07-26 17:07:49 UTC  

To allow people more leway to allow them to pursue other matters.

2018-07-26 17:08:04 UTC  

YOu have time to look for a job when you dont have to worry about going hungry

2018-07-26 17:08:06 UTC  

Until they're able to find a job, right?

2018-07-26 17:08:47 UTC  

But thats what UBI is supposed to be for? Allow people more leway to pursue less profitable avenues.

2018-07-26 17:08:55 UTC  

Would you agree that welfare is a means to sustain people while they look for work?

2018-07-26 17:08:58 UTC  

Well, immediately profitable ways.

2018-07-26 17:09:29 UTC  

I already said that yeah it is. But UBI is the same, and is applied uniformly

2018-07-26 17:09:47 UTC  

Okay, but if you're already working, you can't get welfare right.

2018-07-26 17:09:57 UTC  

Or you can't get it if you make over some amount of money.

2018-07-26 17:10:03 UTC  

There are people with jobs but still require food stamps

2018-07-26 17:10:16 UTC  

Well, just get to the point

2018-07-26 17:10:29 UTC  

Right but if they're working their benefits are reduced.

2018-07-26 17:10:34 UTC  

I am.

2018-07-26 17:10:37 UTC  

What is UBI, why does it replace welfare, and how does it help now

2018-07-26 17:10:44 UTC  

Or in the future.

2018-07-26 17:10:59 UTC  

The issue is that in the future, there will be a subset of the pop that is unable to get any jobs

2018-07-26 17:11:08 UTC  

Because the standard of intelligence required will be really high

2018-07-26 17:11:20 UTC  

Thanks to tech like better manufacturing, and automation

2018-07-26 17:11:27 UTC  

Right.

2018-07-26 17:11:36 UTC  

But everyone can get UBI.

2018-07-26 17:11:40 UTC  

And the argument is that UBI is to placate the pop that found themselves out of job

2018-07-26 17:11:46 UTC  

No.

2018-07-26 17:12:32 UTC  

Well kind of, UBI is the bedrock which we find acceptable for people to live.

2018-07-26 17:12:46 UTC  

You can still work and earn more money that UBI.

2018-07-26 17:12:58 UTC  

You can choose not to get the UBI bennifits.

2018-07-26 17:13:01 UTC  

To be honest you know what Id be more okay with?

2018-07-26 17:13:17 UTC  

WEll, nevermind

2018-07-26 17:13:25 UTC  

That would be impossible for the forseeable future
