I assume you're dense and don't understand how "universal basic income" works.
I will entertain your fucking autism.
Id spend my money on slightly purified water and non moldy/ expired food. Probably wouldn't get either of those so I'd assume the tax man would claim what I couldn't spend.
Socialism will never work. This fucking heinous idea will never work.
Educate yourselves or stop trying to terrorize people. You are either a terrorist or an idiot.
mmmm trickle that wealth down all over my face so i can rub it into my tits cappy daddy oh god give me that wealth cummies
Fucking wealth cummies. Kek
I would reinvest some of that money in a business that is 100% green developing lots of cannabis crops.
On the exact same shit I do now. Except that everything is more expensive. Rent? That went up. Gas? That too. Food? Of course. If people have more disposable income, prices go up.
not here to argue with you, fat fuck. I;m asking what will you spend the extra $1,000 you will get from the government on.
Weed
You fucking retard. The United States spends $717 billion a year on the military, and you don't think we could afford to give every American $1,000 a month? Everything will go up? Bitch, inflation has risen since 1970, yet wages haven't risen to match. Go back to sucking Trump's asshole, you goddamn dumb nigger
>you dont think we can afford to give every american 1,000 a month
socialism wont work,the super rich arent going to want to provide you welfare queens with your free money.so have fun when your starving to death because you bankrupted america with your chink socialist guy
do you think its the fucking ceos who run companies? you overthought those who resist and restructure the corps moron
This guy has my vote.
HOLY SHIT! A fucking Chinaman now?
>everyone gets 1k
>housing costs rise over 10,000%
>rent costs rise over 20,000%
>food costs rise 10,000%
>gas costs rise 100,000%
Yeah im gunna use my 1k to buy 3 slices of bread
what does this have to do with socialism? nobody in socialist countrys work for a living,so why bring ceo's in it
america doesnt need a businessman for a president.donald trump has already proven this
as a life time republican im not apposed to basic income
but i have questions
would this system replace or be in addition to things like wick' disability ssi and so on?
and if in replacement do you think the removal of bureaucracy needed for these programs would help pay for the income?
Listen to his Joe Rogan podcast. He makes a lot of sense
probably just rent, gas, and groceries, honestly. But hey with those out of the way I can do fun things like save for retirement or take an actual vacation maybe.
universal basic income is no more socialism than disability
every store and business still works on capitalism
>socialism will never work
i dont think it matters,americans are fucking stupid
you don't even understand what UBI is you drooling autistic retard
Invest it in index funds and crypto
somebody defending socialism shouldnt be calling other's retards.hope you like it when the rich leave and there's nobody to provide you your free money
investments, virtually everybody that's over the poverty line will start investing (*cough*cannabis stocks*cough*) From a month to month flip for profit all the way to just dumping all of it into a retirement fund. It would be very good for corporations and potentially help supplement social security if we don't also beef that up.
this
can socialists not understand this basic concept?
Old guy here, every naysayer of UBI basically breaks down to 'I didn't get this option after high school, so neither should you'
UBI puts half of the government bureaucracy out of work, and ends up cheaper than the current gatekeeper system. And since no one has to do shit jobs anymore, it finally makes sense to build the robots and automate them since you can't get some poor desperate schmuck to do them for poverty wages.
Smaller government, automation of menial labor tasks, there's really no practical arguments against UBI that haven't already been debunked.
>band-aid solutions to an inevitable destination
No matter what, it's white people footing the bill for a higher than natural non-white standard of living. A real socialist revolution needs to take place in the form of ethnonationalism, and will take place eventually once white people stop being nice and passive to their replacement.
To answer OP's question though, I'd buy a nice sized van to hold all my shit in and live on the road so I can be best prepared for the race war that'll eventually happen.
>here's really no practical arguments against UBI that haven't already been debunked
1. free shit demoralizes people
2. free shit will skyrocket the prices
3. free shit will make less people want to work
Enable a bunch of neets. Sure. That’ll work. Also the dollar will loose value. Inflation. That 1k will turn into the buying power of $100. Not a econo-fag but I know the basics. Also, it is slavery even if it doesn’t seem like it.
Population control. Less people, less government.
that's not how inflation works
basic necessities because inflation will skyrocket
>and ends up cheaper than the current gatekeeper system.
You're gonna see a bunch of dinduishas and spicettes rioting in the streets because this ends up being a massive reduction in how much gibs they're getting from the gubment because they usually have 3+ kids, and lord knows tyrone isn't gonna move back in with them to pool their money together. The democrat party doesn't want that at all, they want as many people nigger and spic democrat voters as they can get. Ironically, UBI is detrimental to the democratic elites.
no who you were responding to but anyway
>1. free shit demoralizes people
this is true to a point but studies have found this works better in reverse
basicaly its fee for not being a nigger or we take your money
>2. free shit will skyrocket the prices
there nothing that has a price that is being given for free and the small amount UBI gives cant really buy anything good
so goods and services are still subject to capitalism at its best
exept maybe rent? it might mess up rent
>3. free shit will make less people want to work
i think you missing a point this isnt enough money to do anything cool with
if you wana afford video games get a job
if you want a nice car you still haft to get a job
if you wana do anything fun you will still need to get a job
That's the idea user. Replacing welfare programs makes the price much more reasonable. Considering most crimes are due to poverty, the immense amount we spend on prisons will drop as well. Inflation will happen, but it was gonna happen anyway and 1000 a month could be the difference between an out of work laborer sleeping in a tent or sleeping under a roof.
There's no such thing as trickle down economics dumb fuck
is your current government working for you now?
there is no reason they would
good s and services are still subject to capitalisem
good products will be out priced from the UBI exclusive people and things like genric canned soup cant out price UBI people cause there just not as good
with poor programs we do this now different quality of prices for different people
i just want to know if this will replace or be in addition to current welfair
i think if this is the ONLY program giving money we would find it cheaper than we pay not to look for fraud
Automation is coming whether we do this or not which means millions of people being put out of work. We will become a third world country without this.
Also I thought of this years ago, but it wasn't this stupidly basic it had tiers to it all but the lowest one (which is about as good as living on foodstamps and low income housing) required you to do some sort of work or growing as a person. Art workshops, woodshop, business and finance workshops, community college courses, trade school, volunteering, community service, credits for cleaning up the neighborhood, clearing snow for the elderly, etc. Give people monetary incentive to still be productive or improving themselves in some way that could yield financial gain for them. It would help transition us to artistic and technological careers as well.
>not to look for fraud
now to look for fraud sorry i fucked that up
>Considering most crimes are due to poverty
There is actually an inverse relationship between poverty and both violent and property crime. As poverty goes up, crime goes down generally.
If you were to give every american adult $1000 for a year it would cost 2.975 trillion dollars. Fucking imbecile. And thats just assuming this would all cost nothing to distribute/maintain.
Nice. I'm already taxed an inordinate amount. Why not just call it an even %50 of my income and bend me over and dry fuck my asshole every 2 weeks so lazy cocksuckers don't have to work. Get fucked you lazy, socialist cum guzzlers.
what about skin to crime?
you're only so salty about getting more tax because your wage is far lower then it ought to be because your boss and boss' boss and final boss are all simultaneously dry fucking your asshole 40+ hours a week.
I'm sure you already know, nigga.
The funny thing is that UBI is corporatism using socialists as useful idiots.
It's a way to keep runaway crony capitalism on life support.
I heard that guy on the Joe Rogan podcast. He made some pretty good points..
Initially people would have the option to replace their current welfare benefits with a UBI or keep them and opt out of the UBI. In the long run other programs would be wound down and replaced with UBI. I imagine that the ultimate goal would be to have Medicare for All, Social Security, and UBI, and that's it. This eliminates a lot of bureaucracy and overhead costs, but current welfare spending including overhead costs amounts to less than half of what the UBI would cost.
The difference in cost would be paid for by implementing a VAT, which is a kind of consumption tax. Personally, consumption taxes are my favorite kinds of taxes because they punish people for being consumerist whores and negate the false economy effect of buying disposable plastic garbage to some degree.
One other thing to consider, though, is that a sufficiently large UBI negates the need for tuition free college. Combined with a program that requires schools to keep their tuition in check in order to qualify for federal funding, people can simply go to school on their UBI. Unlike tuition free schools, this system would not disincentivise alternatives to college like apprenticeships.
The policy will actually get most people to spend more, since they will have more. This will help the economy exponentially. Yangs primary reason for doing this though is for the small majority of people that are struggling to adapt to automation (even though life itself is about adaptation and change). This will keep Anerica's Countrymen that are really struggling from going over the edge. I'd vote for him, but not 2020 (even though I'm a righty). Like my god, the demos should be scared shitless of how good a job Trump is doing.
If we push that crooked COP Kamala Harris Trump's getting another 4 years. We need Bernie or we will not win.
Harris is realistically more electable than Sanders, the dems need to be less hung up on purity tests and focus on actually winning instead of accusing each other of not being 'woke' enough
"woke" for democrats just means anti-white and anti-male. This is why Yang nor Gabbard are gonna be promoted by DNC since they aren't deemed woke at all, even though their domestic policy and their foreign policy respectively are massively popular with regular people.
Idk rent
She's almost as bad as $hillary, she ignored evidence of pedophillic behavior in the catholic church, did not punish officers that fabricated evidence against a defendant and always does what her financial backers want her to do. Bernie also got 6 times the funding she did on his first day announcing to run and literally every poll in 2016 showed he would've kicked Trumps ass.
You're also a moron if you think being black and a woman isn't a problem. Obama BARELY got his second term against a terrible terrible republican candidate and only won the first term because we didn't want stupid ass soccer mom vice president Palin and obviously-going-to-be-dead-soon-McCain and those were the options we had. Obama wooped Hillary's ass in the first election too so being black is much less of an issue than being a woman for voters, but both is a double whammy of voter disapproval.
Either the DMC pats themselves on the back for being so PC for supporting a crooked politician that happens to be black and has a vagina and LOSES AGAIN or they back the candidate anyone actually paying attention sees is far far more popular than any other candidate currently running. Either the DMC learns from Hillary or Trump wins again and potentially we'll have republican presidents for the next 2,3,4,5 terms
Andrew Yang is a jew? lulz
collage is for the most part over rated
trade schools are much more affordable and result in better outcomes unless you want to be like a layer or doctor
If you have more money chasing the same amount of goods and services, you have inflation.
hes just a corporate shill in disguise trying to take votes from Bernie, the 1k is literally just trying to buy the votes of people that don't care that billionaires are sucking our economy dry. having more money wont fix anything if it costs 1k to buy an apple.
Eat out at restaurants more, go to the movies several times a month. pay off debt
Sales tax
