I've checked, you can see it when you watch the debates

He may not even have balls

That’s what you get with a candidate for gen Z

That is as I would predict, Weez

As I imagined it would be as well.

Confirmation bias at its best

'substance abuse', people getting hammered<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

We should trial it for a year, full scale in the UK and see what happens @Eccles

Yeah lmao @Αγωνιζῆς

Good for businesses 😉

Depends on how it is implemented, Weez

Alaska, being a high latitude place, has a natural higher rate of alcohol abuse

That I didn't know.

I don't think you're going to see it work unless it replaces all welfare, tax credits, state pensions, and tax-free allowances

Hmm true.

Which likely won't happen

Yeah lets implement UBI in the UK that's a good plan

I want to see that county go to shit anyway

So the people stop cucking around

500 pounds per month for 60 million people would cost £360,000,000,000

Nice

360 Billion

A lot more than we currently spend tbh

Bear in mind you'd also be scrapping the tax-free tax allowances, Weez

True

Damn look at this

Never mind it's cancer to use

Either way, 360bn + scrapping the tax-free allowance, plus the saving of costs, you're close to the 290bn current expenditure

A smaller scale test is required then kek

To see how it impacts economic growth

would expect it to

To what scale is what I'm interested in tbh.

can't see it changing much

If it's a large scale, then there's nothing wrong with borrowing some of the money to fund UBI

There'd be an even greater incentive to do it

fair enough

Just roll up to the world bank and be like "Yeah, going to need 60 billion per year for the next decade"
