looks like the right is gaining ground in spain
@Virgil if the state decides to initiate a UBI program then it should have heavy immigration restrictions
When I say UBI I mean on average, adjusted for municipal and state living costs, about 20-30 thousand a year, hardly rich.
well this kinda sums up our current situation nicely
I also can't help but feel UBI is a trap to increase control. Only certain purchases allowed, payments ceased fue to wrongthink, etv
@Virgil right so UBI would reduce the need for fraud investigations. Everyone gets the money and you can do whatever you want with it within legality
@Asatru Artist - MD People won't be working much in the future with automation driving people out of the workforce and lowering labor value.
I’m against it bc of what @Asatru Artist - MD said but I do actually think it’d cut down on fraud
Well, we've seen firsthand what welfare does to people. What would a UBI program do?
Honestly I'm not totally against assisting the poor as long as we have a homogenous society first
@VinceChaos Yes, that's a pretty good point.
@StevePines -WA Nice avatar, brother.
I think that all assistance should be temporary
Focus on increasing eugenic effects. Less welfare needed when you have high IQ population. We just have so much debt....
I wonder if progressives would oppose UBI because wealthy white people would receive the same amount as minorities?
Thanks
Nobody should be able to live off of the system their entire lives
@Asatru Artist - MD my man, got the right gear on too.
If low skilled people won't be working in the future their character will decrease exponentially. Why then even have such people in your society? 🤔
That's why the elites start wars
to get rid of those people who are no longer necessary
@Asatru Artist - MD Not really, welfare is an enormous, costly and inefficient bureacratic nightmare due to fraud and income calculations and verifications amongst other things. UBI is a simple monthly or bi-weekly direct deposit.
For the middle class at least, tax credits seems to work better than welfare. Lest we have some kind of idiocracy situation happen due to welfare.
Tipping is unnecessary in a serious country
Yeah my sister was a waitress and it definitely is a stupid practice
So are immigrants
you could make $100 one night and nothing the next
I don't think UBI is any farther in the plausibility spectrum than reparations.
In fact I can see a DSA-esque Harris administration pairing the two. UBI, but on a privilege scale.
Tipping started bc of Blacks in the South. Ironically Blacks tip very poorly. There have been studies on this.
we all know that
nobody wants to deal with them
@missliterallywho You would have to set up and incentivize participation in a healthy community setting for low skilled workers.
Discussions around UBI are usually that it wouldn’t really be enough to live on alone
Ofc you need tips for the kind of high time preference they have
I usually tip higher than 15%
UBI or abolish income taxes?
I vote the latter
^
Oh yeah you wanna see a White Liberal girl get racist? have a bunch of Black women be here customers at her waitressing job.
