The arguments that Yang makes for UBI are completely retarded

2019-06-13 16:31:20 UTC  

*Who knew people would do less bad things if they were given free money*

2019-06-13 16:31:44 UTC  

Free money would promote irresponsibility no?

2019-06-13 16:31:55 UTC  

Legal irresponsibility

2019-06-13 16:32:00 UTC  

But it's obvious you wouldn't rob a gas station

2019-06-13 16:32:03 UTC  

if you were given free money a month

2019-06-13 16:32:18 UTC  

People wouldn't turn to drug dealing if they were given money that let them live

2019-06-13 16:32:35 UTC  

But I doubt UBI will even pass at a Constitutional level

2019-06-13 16:32:50 UTC  

It's basically entitlement welfare

2019-06-13 16:32:55 UTC  

He's not going to get it signed as a law, he wants the UBI ratified in the Constitution

2019-06-13 16:32:56 UTC  

Typing

2019-06-13 16:33:31 UTC  

@Techpriest impossible

2019-06-13 16:33:56 UTC  

I couldnt imagine any new ammendments passing even the ERA

2019-06-13 16:42:51 UTC  

@Techpriest what do you mean "what the fuck does this even mean"

2019-06-13 16:43:09 UTC  

If you actually looked at his website you'd see in depth explanations of all three of those policies

2019-06-13 16:43:49 UTC  

As well as his other 120 or so policies you've entirely failed to mention

2019-06-13 16:44:19 UTC  

Also @Hyprr what do you mean by entitlement welfare?

2019-06-13 16:44:35 UTC  

UBI would work as a replacement to current welfare programs

2019-06-13 16:45:28 UTC  

@The Lemon it would still be entitlement welfare though, it just replaces pre existing entitlement welfare.

2019-06-13 16:46:02 UTC  

Government says you are entitled to 1,000 dollars a month as a form of welfare

2019-06-13 16:46:15 UTC  

And that makes it bad because?

2019-06-13 16:46:32 UTC  

I don’t think I said it makes it bad

2019-06-13 16:46:33 UTC  

GG @Hyprr, you just advanced to level 1!

2019-06-13 16:46:47 UTC  

Ah k sounded to me like that was what u were implying sorry

2019-06-13 16:46:55 UTC  

I was just wondering why you would need a constitutional amendment to enact entitlement welfare

2019-06-13 16:47:02 UTC  

Instead of the normal channels

2019-06-13 16:47:03 UTC  

Yeah Idk about that either

2019-06-13 16:47:30 UTC  

Yang hasn't said anything about planning to have a constitutional amendment to get it through as far as I know

2019-06-13 16:47:38 UTC  

Probably not

2019-06-13 16:47:58 UTC  

It be better anyways to pass it as a bill since spending is so hard to cut anyways

2019-06-13 16:48:49 UTC  

It’s whatever that other guy said

2019-06-13 16:48:50 UTC  

Tbf I really don't know about how passing new laws in the American system works

2019-06-13 16:48:57 UTC  

I’m just chiming in

2019-06-13 16:49:18 UTC  

House creates spending bills and it moves to be passed from there

2019-06-13 16:49:24 UTC  

Funding the programs of the executive (president)

2019-06-13 16:49:28 UTC  

Like social security etc

2019-06-13 16:51:24 UTC  

Ah k

2019-06-13 17:20:36 UTC  

"should work as a replacement to current welfare policies"

2019-06-13 17:20:37 UTC  

what the fuck

2019-06-13 17:20:45 UTC  

So you will actually LOSE money if you're claiming that
