You first made the idiotic contrast that lofty benefits that lead to people not wanting to work are better than starvation.
ok

You then shifted the discussion to talk about UBI. You talk about UBI like the typical college freshmen would, making a bunch of kumbaya assumptions and how this utopian future is totally achievable, we just need UBI!
i asked u where i moved left, and preempted u with UBI as an example i can see. u jumped on UBI because u had no examples.
but just more proof u cant read well. i NEVER talk about UBI or the sheeple Wall-E future as utiopian. Ever. not even a single time. i say its necessary to hold back starvation and riots, as u seem to observe above, but then quickly abandon to make another strawman argument. will there be fringe positives, yes. will it be overwhelmingly negative for the human race in far more ways, YES. 100x Yes. i keep telling people they need to start now to remain self reliant and stop from being a govt slave, buy land, grow food, raise animals, get thrifty and DIY. how is that pro ubi utopia? you see what u want to see because u cant admit you're wrong. and will continue to do so.

UBI, in reality, is as left as it comes on the political spectrum and your sophomoric explanations are on the same level of depth of thought as spoiled leftists that have zero understanding of market dynamics or economics.
left/right judgements are simplistic, even if accurate. of course it's "left", i never stated otherwise, i said its simplistic. over and over. shocker u didnt pick up on agreement there, because u can only see what u want to see. yes it is far left, and done WHERE the govt cares about its people. there is authoritarian and libertarian leftist spheres. China isnt in the right area of the spectrum to care enough about its own people to pay for them not to starve. one dies one billion to take their place. people starving helps them control population, just like death camps, organ farming, unsafe working conditions, rural exploitation, and any other number of tactics they're using right now.
one day, china will pay its citizens UBI, likely tagged to their control plan with social scoring. but it still wont be because they care, or to stop riots, because they have tanks and bullets to stop riots, unlike America where Kent State images prevent the authoritarian response china calls any given Tuesday.

Currently, no country in the world has UBI. Not even the socialistic Scandinavian havens that have tiny populations where it might possibly work. You know why? Because smart adults that understand math and economics know better. No one took Andrew Yang seriously because his logic and math were shallow and only dumbasses bought into it. Anyone that was half qualified to ask and challenge some of his more in-depth math quickly exposed how his plan was more of a marketing ruse.
thus why im calling for a creeping incremental plan that's not like Yangs, criticized Yang as using 1k/month as an infeasible plan to grab youth votes from uninformed, and said it wouldnt work how he proposed it. go back, read, u forgot. and are strawmanning, again.

Like, look at what happened when the fed pumped 50% of GDP in money supply during Covid. I can show you price inflation in various inputs and products across the board. That's exactly what UBI would do, it would debase our currency, it would make large swaths of low-level jobs completely unfillable, it would cause countries like China to dump their US bonds, and so on.
UBI inflation is the largest issue with UBI, as ive stated all along. and an incremental targetted approach not to ALL citizens, as ive proposed time and again, dampens this inordinately compared to Yangs 1k$/month idiocy.
Yang is nothing but a spokesman for 2050 politics, as i stated all along.

I look at your insult and just laugh honestly.
ive been talking about UBI, offering the most reasonable incremental plan of anyone in PARD by far, but u know me as "the UBI guy", replace all of my stances with Yangs, and set up a gang bang of strawmans to go to town on.
u shouldnt laugh, u should think twice about how off u are, but wont. ive got u too worked up to do that, the insults are the cape, you're the bull. ive walked u into making terrible posts for a week now. you jumped from china loves its people and will save them from starvation to Thesnipa wants to inflate the economy with 1k$/month checks. just a joke of a stumbling path through logic and reason.
and for those keeping score, u just lost 2 iq points on my scoreboard.
still cant answer "what has thesnipa moved left on" other than UBI strawmans lol. the example I gave you, and u still bungled.This post was edited by thesnipa on May 6 2021 08:12am
