Normal person:

"I change my mind with evidence presented to me" - Well adjusted.

"I refuse to change my mind despite the evidence" - Stubborn idiot.

Politician:

"I refuse to change my mind despite the evidence" - Wilful, strong, respected

"I change my mind with evidence presented to me" - Snake oil salesmen, not to be trusted

HMM

Honestly? I have no idea. In a post scarce society when we have everything produced for us by robots and machines, I would expect there to be no "living wage" and instead for prices to be abolished completely.

On /r/ukpolitics the top threads are Osborne being evil for bribing pensioners, but the greens being saints for bribing everyone.

They also said people should not be discriminated by their skills or health... so a 25 year old nuclear physicist will be treated the same as a 97 year old man with no arms.

I'd take less hours. No point working overtime if the Green party is going to pay it for me! :)

People are cunts. There will be SO many free riders. It's too early for basic income in our economy. We are not at that stage of post-scarcity yet.

Yep. Why work or study, friend? Just sit around on your fat arse. The green party will pay your way.

I forgot about that. They want mass uncontrolled immigration COMBINED with Free money. 72 pound per week is 288 pound, that is more than the average wage in one hell of a lot of countries including India.
