Alaska does it because it's literally drilling up natural resourcse
Where is the $1000 buck derived from?
Yang isnt drilling natural resources
He's drilling into the service economy
with VAT
and removing welfare programs
Yang isn't all about UBI
There are other policies he's proposed
Yes like shilling for dreamers
The one where illegal immigrants have to wait twenty years before they get their citizenship
> illegal
> getting citizenship
choose one
do I have to close my eyes?
UBI ends up being a pretty big economic stimulator
It’s not a crazy idea
But would definitely require reworking the way we currently do the social safety net
At the end of the day Yang isn't going to win the presidential race so, at this point, UBI is just a thought experiment
The only thing UBI simulates is simulating foreign countries
*stimulates
not stimulating
How much $1000 can do in a different country
will have them larping as USA Lite
So is it an economic stimulator or simulator
Why would it stimulate foreign countries
Because why do you think some people come to America?
I mean if the US did it
Better opportunity. Help their family in their native country
There are all sorts of reasons people come to America
Ok, sure
$1000/month would already
make a lot of people happy
At would a UBI hurt that
?
The whole point of Yang's UBI is to stimulate OUR economy
but instead you're going to have it hemorrhaging toward other's economy
Countries that were reliant on the US Dollar now becomes heavily reliant on the US dollars now
Why
Explain the mechanism behind why that would happen please
Are you suggesting vast number of people take their UBI money and send it to friend or family in foreign countries?
