A: We don't have a choice - half the country is going to lose their jobs in the near future and will have no new jobs to pick up. Some of the people can be retrained for new services, but the reality is, a shit load of blue collared folk are going to be out of work with nothing to do.I don't mind Yang. UBI feels like it's a form of control to be honest. People with basic income are more likely to become complacent and dependent on it. I have skeptical hippo eyes when it comes to that topic.
B: 1,000 is not that much at all, just a tiny drop for 'the basics' (food, clothing, etc)
C: Alaska already does UBI and it has been proposed many times thru out US history, going all the way back to it's foundation and Thomas Payne
D: We think of it as income starting at 0 now, where with UBI, it will be starting at 1000.
E: It will really help the economy and create an economic boom in places that have been destroyed or are dying
F: It will allow Mom's to stay home with the kids so the family unit becomes stronger and they don't feel the need to put on pants suits and try to be men. A huge reason this country is dying is because the family has eroded.
G: people that are on welfare already will not get more, they can either take just the thousand or stay on their current programs. A fire may actually be lit under their asses, as things may get slightly more expensive as everyone will have more money, so the quality of life all these professional baby mamas have will diminish.
