all the automation just magnifies the human effort, never replaces it

2019-01-04 22:45:00 UTC  

But when one person can go to war without the fear of getting shot then there’s a problem

2019-01-04 22:45:02 UTC  

I still don't understand what the mathematical arguments against UBI are.

2019-01-04 22:45:12 UTC  

catastrophic inflation

2019-01-04 22:45:18 UTC  

UBI is fine

2019-01-04 22:45:24 UTC  

Give a lot, take a little

2019-01-04 22:45:25 UTC  

It doesn't mean that nobody works.

2019-01-04 22:45:33 UTC  

Eventually you run out of a lot

2019-01-04 22:45:33 UTC  

yeah

2019-01-04 22:45:34 UTC  

in fact

2019-01-04 22:45:44 UTC  

what would you say is an acceptable amount of $ per month someone would need to survive on UBI?

2019-01-04 22:45:45 UTC  

i didnt work for some time precisly becouse we DONT have UBI

2019-01-04 22:46:06 UTC  

Idk probably 150

2019-01-04 22:46:09 UTC  

1500

2019-01-04 22:46:09 UTC  

becouse how welfare is handled now heavily penalises work

2019-01-04 22:46:14 UTC  

UBI wouldnt

2019-01-04 22:46:30 UTC  

But housing taxes are different

2019-01-04 22:46:35 UTC  

Food and shelter, basically.

2019-01-04 22:46:45 UTC  

Adjusted for inflation.

2019-01-04 22:47:03 UTC  

If I’m on SSI on the outskirts of LA where there’s far smaller houses I’m doing better than someone on SSI living in an apartment near downtown

2019-01-04 22:47:16 UTC  

Tbh the need to cut down on alot of the existing taxes

2019-01-04 22:47:34 UTC  

No, we neeed to cut down the government

2019-01-04 22:47:37 UTC  

And by that i mean

2019-01-04 22:47:40 UTC  

Yes, you would probably have to set it per county.

2019-01-04 22:47:42 UTC  

But it doesn’t mean because you get money you can afford what is available to you

2019-01-04 22:47:54 UTC  

remove the president or chancelor or Prime minister

2019-01-04 22:47:58 UTC  

Government is cancer

2019-01-04 22:48:01 UTC  

if you have 1500, and you implement UBI,

You need to multiply that by 7 billion

meaning ~10.500.000.000.000 dollar

per month

2019-01-04 22:48:03 UTC  

even in its lightest forms

2019-01-04 22:48:17 UTC  

7 billin?

2019-01-04 22:48:23 UTC  

every person on the planet?

2019-01-04 22:48:24 UTC  

You assume that everybody would be without a job.

2019-01-04 22:48:26 UTC  

Like in ragaholic video the fbi is useless

2019-01-04 22:48:33 UTC  

its UNIVERSAL income

2019-01-04 22:48:35 UTC  

not SELECTIVE

2019-01-04 22:48:36 UTC  

everyone gets it

2019-01-04 22:48:39 UTC  

@Undead Mockingbird no, someone with a job would still receive UBI

2019-01-04 22:48:42 UTC  

thats the poiint

2019-01-04 22:48:45 UTC  

its unconditional

2019-01-04 22:48:54 UTC  

Well, then I had the wrong definition.

2019-01-04 22:49:05 UTC  

It's not what Friedman was talking about then.
