No comment needed if it’s that good.

I was thinking about this. You’d have to be working in lemon juice.

How was it? I expect at least 150 words.

Oof, rough but very true. They also need people to vote for progressive politics and politicians, so hope you’re doing that too OP.

There will never be enough alms for the poor to do more than get them to their next escape, which frankly fuck it, well earned.

I’m with Sabrina on the this one.

Meow.

I’m spreading the good news throughout his body as fast as I can.

I am Trump’s malignant hernia and I endorse this result.

That’s awesome. More nations need inheritance taxes.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Yeah.

Thank you kind sir for you time giving me all that background. Sounds like a case of could be a lot worse, bit there’s always next time to fuck it up better. DEI is important, but there really are a handful of crazy identitarians who need to be kept away from power if real democratic socialism is to stand a chance of becoming reality in the English speaking world.

I stand corrected then. Sounds like trash for Canada. Any idea what the government is thinking? I thought it was progressive…

Tax windfall for Canadian government, maybe? Business still has to do business to stay in business. So as long as Canadians benefit, not sure it matters if they’re “Trump supported” does it?

If you didn’t already know Takaichi was trast, well you do now.

This is flagrant rectal tongue foraging for favours.

I mean… Wholesome?

Late stage capitalism is because why.

You mean in Ireland?

So far I am unaware of a UBI policy having been appropriately implemented anywhere in the world.

It would be the end of “bullshit jobs” and make employment outside of specialist roles people actually want to do a sellers’ market.

You’ll have to raise the pay, benefits, and other working conditiona until it actually becomes a job people want to do, rather.

Right now there are enough desperate people, particularly immigrants in many countries, willing to do anything. That should be an ethical problem for all of us.

Immigrants probably wouldn’t get the UBI and would still be more likely to take up unwanted jobs, so there would still need to be instruments like minimum wage (or better, guaranteed minimum income) that apply to all people engaged in full time work. The GMI should only be needed in industries with low profits or no profits so these employers can offer attractive and fair wages.

I don’t think there’s a meaningful difference. If you’re a citizen or permanent resident of a country with UBI you should get the UBI if you’re of working age. No exceptions.

It’s not the only progressive policy that’s needed. Certain regulations over the cost of basic services and commodities is essential too. Housing/rent, food, and healthcare prices to name a few need to be controlled or there’s a risk those dependent on the UBI will be priced out of the market. That’s the biggest challenge to making it work, next to of course taxing the wealthy their fair share.

Fuck, oops. Swipe typing on Android is a minefield of typos. But it’s so fast one handed.

One day AI will properly fix my typos. Maybe.
