Universal Basic Income needs to happen ASAP!!!!

[Max.]

I know hoes that live off welfare they whole life 3 kids

Once again, don't expect a country that's so greedy that it won't give its citizens universal healthcare to give them UBI....even during a crisis of this proportion.

It won’t start here but when other countries start it, it’ll get here 50 years later

paying 70% of your net income to occupy shelter.. which is considered necessary to live, is a SCAM. Property tax is a SCAM as well.

I don't see why everyone has to be tied down to the land like medievil peasants.

Shelter isn’t supposed to be 70% of your income breh

 

[BigMan]

i 100% agree.

 

[Easy-E]

this is prolly a dumb question but...

if UBI becomes a thing, wouldnt landlords raise rent as well? Wouldn’t the price of other shyt go up too since everyone knows that everyone receives an extra 1200 a month

For some reason ppl don't understand this.

Same with marriage

They think they unlocked the "dual income" cheat code when in reality married couple spend about 4 times as much they did single

You damn right

Rent should be free, Food should be free, Water should be free.

Why work? They can give everyone free xbox's to sit around all day and play video games.

It's funny how people see basic necessities as the same as entertainment

You have a generation of older folks who would rather die than share with others

There were generations of old folks who opposed indoor plumbing and running water and cars and electricity also

Exactly, but it is in a lot of places. Even 40% is way higher than peasants were paying back in the dark ages.

It's disheartening to see everyone so resigned to the idea of having to pay money to occupy space the rest of their life. That's not what we were born for

Go ahead and keep that 30 year mortgage then. Go ahead and pay rent the rest of your life then. Some of us want to be free tho

The Capitalism is strong in this one

Another solution would be a rent and mortgage suspension so that $1200 only goes towards food and living needs

I don't want my ambition being capped because other people don't have any

Your ambition is already capped by virtue of you being a black male in America
Your argument ignores fundamental aspects of racism and classism, and ironically ends up being a right wing talking point.
