And he was like, we'll get 800 billion from taxing corporations.
Wait a second Chief, that math don't add up
UBI can work
But only when automation replaces the majority of low skilled jobs and production increases to the point the standard of living could reasonably be comfortable for everyone
Where it would be nearly impossible to get a low skilled job and there are only a small number of high skill jobs, UBI can work
Today, in a society that still has a lot of technological advancement before we get to that point, no.
In most of our lifetimes, yes.
@everyone Daily Question 🔖
- Which candidate would you prefer to become Prime Minister of the UK: Jeremy Hunt or Boris Johnson? Why do you prefer this candidate?
Boris because he is more likely to deliver Brexit
Boris because he'll hopefully make Brexit actually fucking happen
Personally I prefer Hunt, comparing the policies (Other than Brexit) between the two Hunt has a far better spending plan that will help more people, and especially businesses after brexit
And this is billions of pounds worth of spending both are promising
I prefer my mom
Brexit might take the headlines but they're both promising MASSIVE spending
my mom will poop on every competition
fact btw
Jeremy Hunt. Boris wants brexit at all costs. Jeremy wants brexit if it is reasonable.
Boris straight up just wants to help rich people with tax cuts and hide behind brexit
Not a worthwhile tradeoff.
But if we cannot get a better deal than the current one then remain?
If remain is a better deal than hard brexit, why not?
The public voted for Brexit
Democracy takes precedent here
Public are thick
Franchise should be reduced to land-owners over the age of 30
The public voted for Obama too. Then the next year they voted for Trump. Have another election, but maybe this time instead of making it a referendum make it ***legally binding***
Because the last one wasn't no matter how much you cry and pound on the playroom floor about it.
Re-doing a referendum (Not an election) because you dislike the outcome is tyranny
There is a clear public mandate for leaving
It's an election of a policy silly. :D
"clear public mandate for leaving" 🤔
And if there is a clear public push for a recall election (which there is) revoting is not atypical.
An election is set regularly every 5 years, referendums are not
The public is pushing for a recall referendum. Just look at the millions signing on for petitions/
Let them have it. If the policy stands, no harm no foul. If it doesn't, democracy in action.
What are you afraid of?
That they *god forbid* changed their minds?
The millions who... voted remain... and want to overturn the results...
