And he was like, we'll get 800 billion from taxing corporations.

2019-07-16 23:51:38 UTC  

Wait a second Chief, that math don't add up

2019-07-17 03:22:58 UTC  

UBI can work

2019-07-17 03:24:07 UTC  

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

2019-07-17 03:24:59 UTC  

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

2019-07-17 03:25:42 UTC  

Today, in a society that still has a lot of technological advancement before we get to that point, no.

2019-07-17 03:25:54 UTC  

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?

2019-07-17 22:10:37 UTC  

Boris because he is more likely to deliver Brexit

2019-07-17 22:11:06 UTC  

Boris because he'll hopefully make Brexit actually fucking happen

2019-07-17 22:11:12 UTC  

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

2019-07-17 22:11:37 UTC  

And this is billions of pounds worth of spending both are promising

2019-07-17 22:11:47 UTC  

I prefer my mom

2019-07-17 22:12:02 UTC  

Brexit might take the headlines but they're both promising MASSIVE spending

2019-07-17 22:12:17 UTC  

my mom will poop on every competition

2019-07-17 22:12:26 UTC  

fact btw

2019-07-17 22:12:45 UTC  

Jeremy Hunt. Boris wants brexit at all costs. Jeremy wants brexit if it is reasonable.

2019-07-17 22:12:46 UTC  

Boris straight up just wants to help rich people with tax cuts and hide behind brexit

2019-07-17 22:13:45 UTC  

@IotaWolf @Trash Brexit at all costs is not a good thing. Get brexit on the best terms possible for the UK.

2019-07-17 22:14:17 UTC  

Otherwise you're just killing yourselves in order to make the rest of the kids at school feel bad.

2019-07-17 22:14:33 UTC  

Not a worthwhile tradeoff.

2019-07-17 22:14:43 UTC  

But if we cannot get a better deal than the current one then remain?

2019-07-17 22:15:10 UTC  

If remain is a better deal than hard brexit, why not?

2019-07-17 22:15:38 UTC  

The public voted for Brexit

2019-07-17 22:15:50 UTC  

Democracy takes precedent here

2019-07-17 22:15:55 UTC  

Public are thick

2019-07-17 22:16:30 UTC  

Franchise should be reduced to land-owners over the age of 30

2019-07-17 22:16:31 UTC  

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***

2019-07-17 22:16:56 UTC  

Because the last one wasn't no matter how much you cry and pound on the playroom floor about it.

2019-07-17 22:17:03 UTC  

Re-doing a referendum (Not an election) because you dislike the outcome is tyranny

2019-07-17 22:17:20 UTC  

There is a clear public mandate for leaving

2019-07-17 22:17:24 UTC  

It's an election of a policy silly. :D

2019-07-17 22:17:44 UTC  

"clear public mandate for leaving" 🤔

2019-07-17 22:18:00 UTC  

And if there is a clear public push for a recall election (which there is) revoting is not atypical.

2019-07-17 22:18:01 UTC  

An election is set regularly every 5 years, referendums are not

2019-07-17 22:18:32 UTC  

The public is pushing for a recall referendum. Just look at the millions signing on for petitions/

2019-07-17 22:18:54 UTC  

Let them have it. If the policy stands, no harm no foul. If it doesn't, democracy in action.

2019-07-17 22:19:12 UTC  

What are you afraid of?

2019-07-17 22:19:26 UTC  

That they *god forbid* changed their minds?

2019-07-17 22:19:31 UTC  

The millions who... voted remain... and want to overturn the results...
