and are picky with jobs
UBI of 10,000$ per year (still below poverty line) would cost 2.6 trillion $ per year. Meaning that confiscating __all__ the wealth of those worth over 1 million dollars would find the program for 5 months. Meaning that after a very small threshold, you would only be getting your money back or losing it. It would cause the rich to not be able to create jobs for the poor and consumer products for the middle class. In addition, it would be extremely dangerous during an election period as a candidate could just run and promise to make it higher to get more votes.

@Da_Fish still less than if we eliminated social security/medicare/etc.
Still a bad idea
Welfare
Preferable to welfare imo
Good video on the subject
I don't have a specific number for UBI
A youtube video nice!
@Deleted User watch the second one first
It discusses it well
UBI should just be a mechanism to replace and phase out welfare
UBI is welfare
Why not test UBI in a few smaller areas to see how well it works?
I do not see this mans qualifications on his patreon or youtube about page
In the US?
some places it failed
But it doesn’t show long term effects
E
Different countries
Swiss just rejected it
We could try it here
It worked well in Canada and Finland in homogenous towns
No
It didn’t show long term effects
This is what we should all strive for, if you arent for this you arent a real american
A movie is what we should base our society on!!!!

That’s like totally realistic!!
UBI also doesn't encourage people to stay poor in the same manner as welfare but it does open up the can of worms of refusing to be employed and living in a barrel
Watch the damn video
I am
I’m serious
