No surprise from the state that pays meth, heroine and crack addicts full disability benefits.

. So true. I used to post on a Star Trek message board. That place made DU look like a bastion of conservatism. Needless to say I didn't last long

I'm all for the state of Hawaii test driving this socialist drivel.

Think they'll blame all the deadbeats that flock to them for the free shite for it's predictable failure?

Yeah, too bad thousands of Americans died keeping their sorry asses free from the Japanese. But I'm sure they would have done just fine in slavery under the Rising Sun. Swing and a miss for you again.

NICE. We finally have a solution to the homeless problem -- send them all to Honolulu.

That's no different than me saying, "TAKING 100% OF THE WEALTH OF ALL DEMOCRATS AND LIBERALS SHOULD BE THE LAW OF THE LAND".

They are racist and bigoted and will steal a "haole" blind. Go to Costa Rico. Hawaii is very overrated.

Basic income programs are coming, but the only way I think they can work is if there is some nationalized asset to sell off. The looming issues with automation will, if automation is as effective as they say it is, put middle class people out of work as well.

Instead of giving people money to not work we should cut out the middle man and give them what they were gonna buy directly

In fact we could make a currency out of it

You could call it "hercoin" - cookable, injectable euphoria!

I love how they use automation as the excuse for this legislation. Hawaii would be the state least affected by this.

The Island of Niihau.

It's apparently like Deliverance now or Mountain communities.

Everybody is related (descendants of the former workers) - the island was owned by one Scottish family who bought it in the 19th Century for 1.5 mill in today's money) -

but you better not try and land your boat there.
