• How the fuck do you solve that?

    Everyone gets a non means tested Citizens income.

    How do you pay for that? Fuck knows.

    • renege on a load of pension promises
    • tax people or companies more
    • discover a shit load of oil and a do a Norway not a Venezuela
  • So, communism?

    I jest, but not entirely.

    I keep getting told that I think too much and I predict responses (both physical and verbal), and modify my behaviour based on my predicted response, rather than just talking to people and waiting for a response, so let me play out how I think UBI would go down.

    -Here's free money because you've got no job opportunities any more
    -I don't want free money, I want to work for a living
    -There's no jobs you can do any more because you're really good at things that aren't done here any more
    -but why can't we do those things
    -because of so many reasons but mostly some companies got really big, priced out the competition, and fucked you and many other small and medium companies over
    -I'm no scrounger
    -people who get free money aren't scroungers
    -but that's what we've been told for years
    -do you want your money or not?
