universal health care will still be the top issue

That will be definitely be a big one

I just hope we have UBI by 2040 or so

Well I wouldn't bet on that man don't listen to politicians that promise you free stuff

Well one state already has UBI

although it's only like 1000 a year

And that's the problem we could probably only afford to do a thousand a year

do you mean Alaska?

Yes

because thats not exactly basic income

I think its called a Residency credit

and its literally Alaska paying to keep people living there

I don't understand how people live off of $1,000 a month

Well, it depends on what part of the country you live in

in NYC obviously it would be impossible

or LA

My car payment and insurance is almost $1,000 a month

In fact, i'd go as far as to say it's not possible anywhere on the pacific coast or north east

but if you move to somewhere in the heartland

a small town

it's doable

yeah thats fair... its impossible on the West Coast

I have a friend in Texas that pays 400 a month for rent

Montana, Wyoming, doable

utilities included

Without overtime I make about 1300 a week and I feel like I need to make more

I can't imagine stretching one of those paychecks for an entire month

rural America would be the area hit hardest by automation, and is being hit hard right now by the trade deficit and trade wars

thats where Basic Income would do the most good

metropolitan areas have other problems

Humans are making themselves obsolete, and we don't even know what to do about it.

Okay, so let's set a new topic. Today's topic will be: what can we do to combat teachers and tutors who do stuff like this:

I thinhk students need to talk to other students and see how many of their classmates agree. if the teacher doesnt let them present something else, they can make it a unified sort of "protest" which can make a statement

but as a student its tricky, you're in a position of automatic inferiority and subordinance

There was a lot of discussion about this yesterday on the sub. What are people's thoughts?

I believe that perhaps there can be more constructive discussion here than what happened yesterday

I think you can be a mra regardless of political affiliation

Me too. What I'm personally interested in is why people develop the notion that you can't be. What inexorably, in their view, ties men's rights to the right wing?

If I were to take a guess, I would Thursday it has to do with the left being seen as the champion of feminism
