What if they just gave everybody a large universal basic income?

It would be the perfect self-governing welfare system. A yearly budget would be allotted and distributed to every single legal American. And those who truly do not need it can decline on their own free will.

Those who keep it and obviously don't need it will be only humiliated as the recipients/decliners is public record. Kind of like how the president taking a salary looks a bit off, so they donate it.

fuck it lets do it! What's the worst that can happen giving non-whites free money?

There should not be non-whites living in our American borders. Any who are and remain here under hardship conditions, or strangers visiting, should all be switched to a limited revokable license. Their "citizenship" has always been Cracker Jack leftist governmental giveaways.

Hmm, we're already doing that.

Still a problem either way. Or maby the budget is intentionally small to make the hulimation on those who receive it to be blamed for all the starving niggers or something like that

You sound like you wrote for salon or huffpo.

Yes. Let's make every election from here to eternity about how much government gives poor people.


Let's go with the alternative. Stop giving out my money to poe peepoe. Fuck 'em. Work or die. Save or don't retire. Pay your own fuckin' bills.

When I got detoxed, I had white bands in the beds of my nails, yellowing eyes and forehead and pee that was almost brown. Two docs said had I kept going I'd be dead.

This is how shameless people thrive over people with humility.

UbI is dysgenic. People will begin to become lazy over time because hard working people have no advantage reproductively. And you can’t solve poverty by writing everybody a check for a million dollars. That just sends inflation through the roof.

Only if they cancel income and property tax

They will tie it to CBDC, a social credit score, and absolute tyranny. It's a trap. If they actually wanted to solve anything, you would stop printing money, start destroying it, and lowering the prices of everything

they made that experience in Finland, I believe. It wasn't a success. Too many disadvantages were involved with that 'system'.

I actually think a small percentage of “smoothing” is a good idea.

Ie everyone pays in 3%, and it’s evenly distributed to all.

It works incredibly well in ai algorithms.
