Every vote for the libs should come with a
UBI is a shitty alternative to socialism, and will do nothing but increase rent and inflation.
Fuck UBI.
Pretty much. I think the conversation should be reframed in terms of universal basic services. Everyone should have a right to stuff like housing, food, healthcare, education, jobs, and retirement. This should have fuck all to do with money or income. These should just be rights enshrined in the constitution.
A lot of European states have these enshrined as rights. Doesn’t really mean anything.
kind of hard to meaningful enshrine human rights when the means of production are privately owned though
I am not against UBI if it’s paired with inflationary monetary policy and the UBI increases in step with inflation. Then it becomes, in effect, a wealth tax.
Even better would be a wealth tax set at good ol’ 90-99% levels but sure inflationary stimulus checks to the bottom 50% it’s
a startEdit: it’s at least something that might help people, so long as it’s inflationary.Exactly, unless it comes with price controls, this is just a pay raise for landleeches
Agreed. Fuck UBI.
Stop being lazy and get off your ass and make some jobs for us normal people to work in. Useless pig ->
Don’t worry we’re still like 22 in depth studies away from them deciding to shit can it. 21 will show an improvement in the participants happiness and ability to pursue art or meaningful careers with a safety net that frees them from falling into destitution. And the 22nd will show drug use and gaming increase and they’ll immediately be like “see see see, we told you they’d just buy junk food and drugs and games! And they wouldn’t be productive members of society”.
wowie, do you think Prime Minister Bank DeEngland is gonna veto it or will we get the more interesting outcome
I can’t really see this even getting to a vote to be honest.
Before or After the Amerikkkan occupation?
lol definitely won’t happen if the burger reich invades
I thought the real “incentive” the bourgeois bureaucrat would like this is to cut off all other social services to regroup it under this one. But then again, with each province also having their own social services, I wonder how it would work.
So slashing a lot of public sector jobs in the process would be mostly motivating them.
The article actually mentions this talking about how it could be used as a cost saving measure cutting down on a bunch of services.
There it is, my lack of reading links caught shamelessly 😅
