sounds like luddite fallacy speak

2020-03-17 17:00:10 UTC  

That’s what we’re trying to avoid. We’re also trying to get rid of social welfare programs that people abuse

2020-03-17 17:00:35 UTC  

It’s fine if you don’t believe companies are going to try to automate their workers

2020-03-17 17:00:51 UTC  

We’re seeing it right now. Wether you believe it or not, it won’t stop what’s coming

2020-03-17 17:00:58 UTC  

Not our job to help those who don’t want to help themselves

2020-03-17 17:01:03 UTC  

i believe they will but you cant do it quickly without letting the greater economy adapt.

2020-03-17 17:01:12 UTC  

That's one way to get reelected, just give everyone cash

2020-03-17 17:01:16 UTC  

"avoid social welfare programs that people abuse" like giving people 1k a month for doing absolutely nothing?

2020-03-17 17:01:48 UTC  

What happens when you run out of money

2020-03-17 17:01:54 UTC  

Giving people cash is useless cos food prices/rent/taxes will go up

2020-03-17 17:02:01 UTC  

You won’t run out of money

2020-03-17 17:02:04 UTC  

Or things get more expensive ?

2020-03-17 17:02:05 UTC  

poor people dont give a fuck about stimulating the economy. if youre jobless, getting 1k a month isnt going to help you start a business anymore than relying on government cheese helps you start a business.

2020-03-17 17:02:27 UTC  

Poor people spend money on local businesses

2020-03-17 17:02:37 UTC  

Hahaha inflation devalue of money

2020-03-17 17:02:38 UTC  

You're assuming humans are responsible.

2020-03-17 17:02:45 UTC  

That stimulates the economy... I don’t understand? Be the one that starts a business in your community

2020-03-17 17:02:58 UTC  

Venezuela outcome

2020-03-17 17:03:05 UTC  

No....

2020-03-17 17:03:40 UTC  

If y’all want I can send you studies from economist on the issue. Maybe reading it will clear things up?

2020-03-17 17:03:55 UTC  

A very small percentage of working class would be ok with UBI period

2020-03-17 17:03:57 UTC  

Maybe I’m not explaining things properly.

2020-03-17 17:04:17 UTC  

No, you're just dumb.

2020-03-17 17:04:18 UTC  

Don’t want to read something that is a bad idea

2020-03-17 17:04:25 UTC  

i'm down to read it lol

2020-03-17 17:04:30 UTC  

76 percent of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. 51 percent of that says they can’t afford an unexpected $500 bill

2020-03-17 17:04:46 UTC  

Many of these people are middle class Americans.

2020-03-17 17:05:19 UTC  

Sucks for them. People lose in Capitalism. It's the price we pay for... Not being in gulags

2020-03-17 17:05:35 UTC  

i could see liquidation of welfare being more of a conservative idea that reduces overhead and government spending.

2020-03-17 17:05:37 UTC  

I guess I just have a different mentality and that’s ok

2020-03-17 17:05:38 UTC  

There are winners and losers

2020-03-17 17:06:03 UTC  

Ok but we’re all humans and we should help each other. Especially if an idea will bring us ahead economically

2020-03-17 17:06:10 UTC  

I’d actually be interested in a study of eliminating welfare

2020-03-17 17:06:20 UTC  

Our GDP is being carried by giant tech companies right now

2020-03-17 17:06:46 UTC  

Yes that’s humans help each other through non profits churches etc not government involvement

2020-03-17 17:06:58 UTC  

People should be dependent on people, not the government. "Welfare" should be charity, not a human right

2020-03-17 17:07:06 UTC  

You never count on government for that

2020-03-17 17:08:03 UTC  

liquidation of welfare is not the same as ubi too.

2020-03-17 17:08:22 UTC  

See that’s the main difference between Lou and others Lou wants government to decide and I don’t

2020-03-17 17:08:32 UTC  

I don’t want government to decide

2020-03-17 17:08:52 UTC  

I’d be good with ridding ourselves of welfare in general probably the worst thing USA has done
