the people claiming to be about equality, equity, and socialism are predominantly wealthy and dont understand the poor working class

they don't understand humans in general

Why would anyone work if all their money is taken by the government and given to people who don't work?

@Dusty Morgan UBI doesn't mean you won't work.

*cough* BernandJerry's *cough*

UBI itself doesn't work 😉

Plus the quality of the work would go do... people would become lazy. Why work if you are going to get Universe Income?

Who would do the jobs?

how long do we have to wait, until these rich socialists start redistributing their wealth? :P

There is no incentive.

Can you live on $1000 a month?

Only time that could feasibly work, and that is a huge gamble, if everything was automatized.

eternity Aghost,

Most of those rich socialists don't look at their own wealth, they jsut see the "richer" people, the 1%

Yes I could if there isn't any inflation involved.

1% owns 80% of the wealth, so since i'm not 1% we can distribute their 80% and i can keep mine!

Got to remember, inflation could lead to that 10K being worthless.

@Dusty Morgan Oh yeah, one more thing, Abolition of profit

There's always inflation.

No 1k

not 10k

12k a year

Abolition of Profit, now why would anyone even work?

Abolition of profit is seriously the dumbest thing ever 😄

Why would anyone pick up a tool or axe? They are not getting anything out of it.

For the good of the motherland comrad!

And how would the government even tax the citizens to fund universal income and universal healthcare if no one gets any money?

You will not work?

Gulag for you.

You really don't understand UBI at all.

Only way they could make that work is by FORCING people.

No.

Look the only thing you have to understand about this is that they see it as
"People are slaves to the minimum wage, so if we removed the NEED for minimum work to survive, people will be able to persuit their dreams"

completely forgetting that those jobs still have to be filled by someone

No.

That is factually incorrect.

To quote Tim.

*Rolls eyes.* A few of us, on this discord, could easily poke holes in their logic.

well they dont have to be
but if the jobs are important enough ,then the wage will reflect that

or thats how it should be right?

If their logic was solid, we wouldn't be against their argument 😉

nah

You can't discount human nature when creating these policies and logic.
