Momentum for Basic Income Builds

serfserf Member Posts: 9,217 ✭✭✭✭
I think after the great  reset then this will happen.After all if they can't kill us all off with viruses yet. ;)  The whole fiat money system is riddle with so much debt that there is no way the current U.S. dollar could handle this even with Bernie Sanders as treasury secretary under The  Biden Administration.

But amid the pandemic and a global recession, both basic income and a basket of related policies have gained unprecedented momentum, surfacing everywhere from Capitol Hill to community Zoom meetings in cities like Hudson.

At their most targeted, such programs essentially function as a type of cash welfare, providing a flexible, fungible benefit to low-income Americans. In broader and more ambitious proposals, so-called universal basic-income programs would send cash to everyone regardless of income level — a feature intended, advocates say, to promote consumer spending, lessen the stigma of welfare and protect all workers against future economic upheaval.

    The world has always had its population of zealots and the insane. The internet gives them a forum today unlike in times past where they were hid in the basement out of the public eye. Bob

    People who can work should work. I can not imagine getting up every morning, and basically doing nothing. Human nature being what it is I'm sure I would get used to it eventually but no one should. There is something that everyone can learn to do that will instill a sense of pride. When I quit high school at 16 and my Dad woke me up the next morning at 5:30 and put me to work digging footings, I was really pissed. But after a while I could did one hell of a ditch. If it was supposed to be 24" deep and 16" wide then that is what it was and straight as an arrow. Yes I went back to school and took on much more challenging tasks but the idea is the same. I don't want something for nothing, at least not on a regular basis. You start giving folks money just for breathing it will be the ruin of them.

     The idiots would blow 1000 DOLLARS ON DOPE and be down at the soup kitchen begging for food in  a week. There is no way you can dispense free money and think they will take care of themselves. It's a foolish idea and another disaster for illegals to pour in for free money. 
     No father to support the families while welfare mom cries for the community to support her and the offspring of her own making. It's nothing but a scam for a communism to take over.

    remember the movie "The Time Machine"  in the future with two societies ...the Eloi who lived a life of luxury, their ever want provided by the Morlocks who lived underground, did all the work, and came up regular to snatch an Eloi to put on their barbecue.....

    UBI is a DEMOCRAT party tenet now. As long as we have DEMOCRATs, they will keep trying to force UBI upon us.
    Forget the proven fact UBI has failed every time it has been tried, the DEMOCRAT party will continue to campaign on the issue.
    UBI, has a well established track record of destroying civilizations from the Greeks thru the Romans

    Money for nothing is a great motivator in election years and DEMOCRATs know it.
