Bear in mind this was 2014.
ive heard of this really great protest in the vietnam war
done by veterans agaisnt vietnam
where they were gonna put all of their medals in a bodybag and bring it to the door of the white house
tricky dicky errected a fence around teh whitehouse to stop tehm
then they decided they would jsut throw their medals over the door of teh fence
LOL nixon accidentally gave them arguably one of the best photo opportunities of the vietnam war protests
"disrespectful loyalty"
The fence never came down.
Question for yall
UBI, what do you think about it?
I'm in favor of it, I think it's going to be necessary to sustain capitalism at some point.
Highly against it, it will destroy society
only time UBI works, is when its no longer needed
No more than half of the job vanishing.
yes, but UBI will take with it the other half
No
Why bother working if you get sustainence for free?
Because it's better to work than live off other people a leech.
And you think everyone thinks that way?
thats what UBI will be doing
You have a principle, that is good.
But it is incorrect t oassume you are the average
You can't just generate money
It needs resources tied to it
I agree, it would obviously be a tax.
which means that the rich
Yes the rich would be the ones taxed, but at some point soon we will have a vast number of people who though no fault of their own won't be able to have jobs at all.
yes, but that doesn't suddenly justify UBI, because UBI will be coming from those who achieve more than UBI as income
How does that not justify UBI.
What other means would they have to make money.
That is also based on the assumption that there is enough produced to go around.
they wouldn't, thats why i'm against the concept of implementing it until we can sustain it
That is money that will be spent on utilities, food and shelter.
UBI works, when you can replace everyones job, but at that point, it is redundant
And the prices of all three will rise to match the UBI
IF you don't do it well before then, you get a bunch of angry uneployed men with guns.
UBI is not taxable, because its tax money,
Meaning the huge population that needs it, can't pay into the system
Right.
