or at least that's what I'm sayin

not it

I ain't no it

Your parents earned it though, and are passing it on to you. Like giving someone a toaster, but it's money. Just because I give my neighbor a toaster doesn't mean the entire country should buy everyone in it toasters.

?

they didnt earn it tho

if it was given to them

charity isn't at odds with earning money

I'm an anarchist... I don't even believe in government funded welfare I think in the day of computing technology people should live or die by their own merits.

forced charity is the state making everyone cooperate for everyone else's sake

Yeah

Fuck taxes

OH

i see

kk sec telling the ppl the argument

No more hoes popping out 10 babies getting a free ride

well

with UBI you wouldnt be getting a free ride

which is sometimes necessary practically or else everyone just dies (like national defense) but most times (especially in controversial issues) it's best imo to limit government spending

the money would only be able to pay for small things like food or maybe gas

Which I understand fully as someone whose father was incapable of work but denied welfare.

you wouldnt be able to survive off of it alone

and would be forced to get a job

it would just solve the issue of people having to work multiple jobs at once just to get by

hmm

I don’t want to work.

but you wouldnt be able to survive on UBI if you just stoped working

but then that incentivizes employers to lower their wages since the government is paying a portion of living wage

I wonder if I could sell myself to science. I have insomnia

and with UBI there would be no more welfare or unemployment

since the state covers living wages (which btw, San Francisco) employers could just "sell" themselves to labor as "extra money for what you want"

so wages would go down

if I understand that correctly

I think you miss the point of money though. The lowest possible amount would be reduced to zero. Prices for everything else would go up negating the effect.

and the only reason I'm not on principle against this is because it makes no sense to build a society off of social darwinism if there are some who could have made it to the top but literally were stopped because of factors other than themselves

so to that extent I'll agree with UBI

but I still think it isn't very smart

it's fixing something that isn't broken

Why can’t Jeff bezos give me 1 mil so I can pay off some debt and invest the rest?

bro same

He doesn’t need billions
