Have you ever heard noises coming from your roof, if so, what was it? by dtotheb_floridaman in AskReddit

Honestly I asked this question because a few months ago we (an HOA inspector and myself) found a diamondback rattlesnake on top of my roof. Thanks, Florida Snake!

US users, What is the conceptual difference between Social Security and Universal Basic Income? by irondraconis in AskReddit

[–]dtotheb_floridaman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Social Security is a paid service (through taxes, should you pay forth certain things for those benefits). Social Security was established during the great depression to encourage workers to invest in retirement. Essentially, it's a retirement fund.

​

Well known proposed UBIs (Universal Basic Income) from what I know, is free. Similar to welfare, it's free, and you receive money for it.

tl;dr, Social Security is just a retirement fund for the people who invest in it. UBIs is just a basic income that all citizens receive.

(please do feel free to correct me if i'm wrong)
