@ogb saidA UBI is inevitable unless the population is reduced because of automation. That is why the elites are reducing the population. They don't need us all and they don't want to pay people to survive that they will have no jobs for.
Not sure if this Universal Basic Income proposal has been debated here .... I think it's a great idea for chess players !! 😀 Many talented players have had to quit, in order to get a boring job...that pays only minimum wage...

The super wealthy people are mostly super narcissists as well. Everything is all about them. By the laws of supply and demand most people are worth more dead than alive to them.
@ccpatzer saidPatzer, I need you. They get NOTHING! How bout that post of the jester "the money would still circulate' or some such poo. They (libs)really never contribute anything right. Marauder is an exception but I charge him with paralegal assistance, burning the midnight oil, while he is enjoying his money at a fine NYC linen dinner......with money he makes on the Backs of Others!!
So if everyone is given a flat rate at regular intervals then the stores would obviously know this and raise prices.
When people HOLD money the prices go down.
Everyone given money would increase spending.
You are all backwards.
I gave you that 4th thumb up. I have become exhausted. I will get my rest and come back something new tomorrow. I had a huge 470+ hit post this past week, I am going to best it. I would make it about Trump and get maybe 1000 hits, but I am not that cheap

@ccpatzer saidYou. You'd be hero enough to take the load.
Who would do the crappy jobs if everyone was given enough money to survive with?
Unless, perhaps, you are a certain on-the-dole work-shy criminal who has been here under about a dozen aliases already, and should be booted off again?
@shallow-blue saidLove how proud they are to say some jobs are important enough to be done but people doing them deserve to be poor.

Edit:sorry didn't mean to reply to you specifically
@ccpatzer saidThe 95% of the population that want to work and have more than the UBI would give them, but if their circumstances made full time employment impossible they could still live a basic but dignified life.
Not only that but if money is just given away it devalues the intrinsic value of those dollars.
And who would do the crappy jobs?
Think of the money we’d save in administering welfare payments and food stamps.
@kevcvs57 saidAll of this is so much crap. Do you fellers know of anyone looking for work (11M jobs available) who can drive?

Because, Because, there are thousands of jobs driving a truck. Try Yellow Trucking company. Start at $50k, but goes all way up to $200k.
Maybe driving a truck gets people too far away from the govt tit, or maybe disqualifies them for free stuff they are used to?? So, who cares about them. Maybe Kev does. Then tell them about trucking, Kev. You are a broken record. You are the Sonhouse of government support.
