Swiss Voters REJECT Universal Basic Income

[Scoop]

Tough

You have to let people sink or swim and make their own financial decisions IMO

I agree. Not all people are special or worth saving.

The human race is more likely to go extinct from over population then under population at this point.

You just have to pick the right people to give up on. That's why better opportunity for poor people to rise up, and for shytty rich people to fall is needed. Right now we save a lot of shytty people that are worthless to society just because they were born into money. Meanwhile lots of poor people out there that are gifted and could contribute are born into a shytty situation and don't make it. We need an equalizer early in life and then anything that happens from there is your own fault with no safety net.

Half of yall won't make it

UBI will spread like wildfire when automation really starts to hit. We're still some time away from it but the research on how to implement it needs to start now.

Or genocide.

whichever seems more politically expedient.

Unfortunate outcome but the law seemed very vague from what I've read. UBI is coming regardless.

I can only guess who was in that 23%

Good for them, this was a stupid idea. Big social programs are OK if everyone who uses it is paying into it. A pre schooler could see this math didn't add up.

Birth rates in the West and Arab world are falling.... Only Africa is experiencing a boom

Spermatogenesis has gone down damn near 90% since the 1900s......


The equalizer is being in the Western World. Access to information is now widely available....
to a point where new money is going against old money
The safety net is welfare and all these programs which enable long term poverty and thanklessness


Human race will be fine or it will go extinct... who cares ?

People with "poor financial management skills" can just as easily barter away food bought with food stamps for cash, which they can then blow on things that are not SNAP approved.

Oh yeahhhh, why didn't I think to offer my drug dealer some government cheese for that 8-ball. I'm sure he'll find that just as good as cash...

Except that's not what I said. What I said was that stuff bought with food stamps can be bartered for cash, and then the cash can be used to buy stuff that's not SNAP-approved. I never implied that you could trade government cheese for cocaine. In fact, I never implied that buying drugs was the goal of bartering SNAP food. You did.

Yeah, what I choose to do with my SNAP food-bartered cash is my business.

 

[winb83]

sounds crazy. Where would they have gotten the money anyway? Income redistribution?

Exactly.

So why not just literally give you cash in the form of basic income?

You and I already know which option the ruling elite will pick when the time comes


The question is whether these coffee shop socialists will wake up from their Karl max fantasy and smell the soylent green
