Bluenami Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 If the gov gave you $10,000 per year whether you work or not, would you quit your job? It's not about right or wrong or where the money comes from, but if they did, would you quit? Easy question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluenami Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 1 out of 3 so far could answer the question, that means the 2 couldn't admit they wouldn't quit. Keep the answer coming guys! Ask friends n family too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen an intelligent reply from you. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day, but you can't even manage as much lol I'm setting up a "handouts do not = lazy" argument.

splunch Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I would not quit my job for $10,000 per year. I might be disappointed to learn that the house I had my eye on was suspiciously suddenly $30,000 more. Or that new car is $5,000 more. Or my food. My rent. My electricity. The universal basic income doesn't do anything for us until we get rid of the monopolies and cartels. They will vacuum up any UBI and just get even BIGGER.

123urout Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I`d take it and shove it up every snowflakes ass till no more would fit, then I`d knock all their teeth out (if they still had any) and make them shit it out and eat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, remember that investments will go up due to the demand, but consumables will fall in price because of competition and automation. Investment inflation is a good thing since you want it to be a store of labor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specifically, he would take it, and then he would get it all sh!tty and ass-juiced, and then eat it. So really it's 6 no's, 1 pending, and 1 of the no's evidently likes the taste of Liberal ass.

When there is demand, companies recognize it and start competing with each other. The fierce competition results in automation to undercut the others. The reason what-should-be-cheap garden tillers cost $400 because china does not make them and the reason they don't make them is there is too little demand for them because nobody has a garden anymore. Memory for my old ass pc is more expensive now than in 2011. Lack of demand causes prices to go up because no one competes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for evidence of that. So far I have none. Not one person said they would quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is to stop de facto Monopolies like Verizon and Comcast, our healthcare providers, from just increasing costs knowing that everybody has that extra $10K right now? If you're selling a house and you know people now have an extra $10K, wouldn't you factor that increased ability to pay into your asking price? I'm not seeing how demand increases competition in a marketplace already polluted with monopolies and cartels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
