Functionally we do because of welfare
But people like Friedman wanted it to replace all welfare and be massively simplified with no means testing
it is true, not functionally because of welfare but functionally because of writeoffs and the way that brackets work
there are millions of people who get more in returns than they pay
no welfare involved
negative income tax is intended to replace all loopholes
and writeoffs
except deduction for having children according to friedman
I love how the discussion is over how pointy we want the knife that cuts our dicks off
Private homeless shelters that make hobos power pedal generators to mine butt coin would be more efficient.
I always thought homeless shelters should be run communally
Make them work for their bread and shelter
Otherwise they just wander the streets aimlessly getting worse
homeless gladiator tournaments
it has only benefits
they'd have a chance to lift themselves up from the gutter
and if they instead fail and go to afterlife, it's just another way to diminish their numbers
RIP Bumfights
Willing to bet many people here arent old enough to know what that was
Bumfights is cruel and not that entertaining. Real voluntary gladiators would be better.
If you win a gladiator tournament, you get like 100 mil plus fame and all of the women you want.
People would train like heck and put on a good show.
Bums should just be rehabbed by homeless shelter companies that rehab them and give them work to do to pay for their shelter.
it was pretty awesome in 2003 tbh. Mostly due to the absurdity
not cause it was a good show

Erm, actually, Hayek was an Austrian School Economist.
Not Chicago
what are you responding to
The UBI meme above @Nerthulas
oh yeah
lmao
You know that the UK had this system. It was called the workhouse. You know from all those Dickens books.
Also new york had anti-vagrancy laws that caused orphan children to be forced to work for (often J) families as practical slaves once they were sent out from the orphanage.
