Universal Basic Income needs to happen ASAP!!!!

[FromStLouis]

It's a good idea but if we being honest it would have no chance this way.

Be honest. Why wouldn't it?

Because the country is controlled by white people lol no way this would happen.

You don't say.

I'd still take the opportunity to pivot the discussion to reparations.

I believe in reparations but I think it has zero chance and sadly that candidate would have zero chance also.

You still have to talk about it, but you know when it is, and isn't, a waste of political capital to do so.

proof?

These are the top two pilots run
One of the world's largest basic-income trials, a 2-year program in Finland, was a major flop. But experts say the test was flawed.

I also want to point out the Stockton study is not even funded by the government. They can't afford it.

Whats the difference between UBI & getting the +$600 per week in unemployment (if approved)?

Everyone get Universal Income no matter what, whatever that amount may be

The thing about ubi is you're depending on the government for income which means that shyt isn't going to be free money
shyt comes with a catch
hey'll hyperinflate the shyt out of the dollar and they'll give you just ENOUGH to barely live. They would give everyone just enough to eat and live in a one bedroom apt, which seems good until people burn through the money like half way through the month which MOST Americans would do, so they'll just end up complaining "we need more money this ain't enough". Let's be honest, Americans are really bad at saving and can't resist shiny shyt so most people will blow their money monthly (and a lot would probably stop working, so theyll just turn to credit thinking they'll pay it off with their next month ubi payment but they'll just pay the minimum and let the interest snowball)

You seen the fed give big corps and banks bailouts to the point it might as well be ubi for them and it destroyed the economy, those men are either greedy,idiots, or both so tbh even if we had ubi the government would just fukk it up anyway.


I'd rather just keep working and if I gotta struggle in some situations then I'll struggle.

That being said, I'm not against it, I just don't trust the fed reserve or government to initiate that with out some evil scheme.

Won’t solve much imo. Not saying it won’t help but I don’t think it’s the answer. Same reason why lotto winners go broke.

YOURE IGNORING THE EXTRA
2400 DOLLARS A MONTH THAT WILL
BE ADDED ON TOP OF REGULAR UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS.

AVERAGE PERSON WILL BE TAKING HOME
MORE IN UNEMPLOYMENT THAN
THEY WERE WHEN THEY WERE EMPLOYED.



​

then they will still be unemployed after those 4 mos, for who knows how long.

IF THIS IS STILL GOING ON AFTER 4 MONTHS
ANOTHER BILL WILL BE PASSED.
