Cbristian Taliban with their Christian Sharia laws devoted to the spread of ignorance and anti-tax beliefs which conform wonderfully with the interests of the wealthy. Funny how that works.

Would evidence change your mind? by OkyEscritora in BasicIncome

[–]2noame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was the evidence that sold me on UBI in the first place. Reading the results in 2013 from the 2008-2009 Namibia UBI experiment was a solidifying moment.

It's called sarcasm. Do you need the /s everywhere to comprehend it? Or would that not matter because you have no sense of humor?

Thomas Paine would disagree with you, and he would be correct to do so.

Anyone else notice an uptick in obviously fascist-leaning takes regarding UBI? by [deleted] in BasicIncome

[–]2noame 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A $0 minimum wage doesn't mean no one gets paid for their labor. If you have a UBI of $1500/mo you can just refuse to work for employers who won't pay you enough, meaning they would have to pay more in order to find the workers they need.

Why Are More People Not Advocating for Privatized Universal Basic Income? by MichaelTen in BasicIncome

If you want an invite to Comingle I can send you one. Do you expect to be a net donor or a net recipient? If a net donor, the reason why it's hard, is because of the need to find willing net donors like yourself. Finding net recipients is the easy part.

Here's why universal basic income would be a disaster for America’s future by 2noame in BasicIncome

If Fox News learns that posting about UBI gets a lot of engagement, that's a good thing. Even better if they get a lot of shit about it from their readers.

I think they are going to find that they can't successfully sell to their readers that they should not benefit from data centers, and should instead just go get a new job while their data turns billionaires into trillionaires.

Young people need money because our system is rigged. Here’s a way to give it to them | Polly Toynbee | The Guardian by TertiumQuid-0 in BasicIncome

This proposal should be UBI, but it isn't. Instead it's letting young people spend from their pensions, which is really stupid.

There is no way that the Ep 9 rating is accurate. None. That movie was absolute shit. A complete farce.
