I don’t pretend to know anything about macro economic policies that will generate jobs for the masses. But Jesus, i just listened to Yang on CBS espouse his $1,000 per person universal income for all.
His talking points: $1,000 per citizen will result in 2,000,000 new jobs due to the influx of spending into Main Street business like auto repairs shops, day care facilities, and LITTLE LEAGUE SIGN UPS
Little league signups= J O B S
WHO THE frick KNEW?!?!
WHAT IN THE ACTUAL frick IS THIS GUY TALKING ABOUT AND HOW IS IT THAT THIS GUY HAS MORE MONEY THAN ME WKTH IDEAS LIKE THIS?

My first reaction to getting free money would be to go look for a job

The first thing that I would expect to happen, is that people under the poverty line who hold minimum wage jobs will quit their jobs and never look for work again.
In the first few months the OD rate would skyrocket.

And he’s the “sane one” according to some of our resident “moderates?”

Why $1k per month? Why not $3k per month?

Giving people free money is like giving a wild animal free food. The animal will come for the free food and never learn to hunt.

Unless UBI replaces SSI, SNAP, Section 8, etc then it's just another plan to make people feel like they've done something when in actuality all they've done is move the deck chairs around. We saw what handing out free money did in the wake of Katrina (and why FEMA no longer does it).
And let's not forget that everywhere UBI has been tried as a means of relieving poverty, it's failed. Every. Single. Time.

That’s a lot of “free” money just to produce two million jobs.
Posted on 8/18/19 at 10:11 am to Covingtontiger77
So 2 trillion dollars to create two million jobs.
That's 1 million dollars per job.
WTF.

I'm good with a basic income IF...
No more food stamps, welfare, WIC, medicaid/medicare, section 8 etc.
It would save us a fortune over time.
Two more caveats:
You may be denied the income by a judge for criminal activity.
You must be 21 and a US citizen in order to recieve this income.

How many times have the announcers said in the LLWC that all of the workers are VOLUNTEERS?

The only thing I can think of is online services used to enroll and manage leagues.

If I get $1000 and my wife gets $1000 and pur 2 kids get $2000, we’re moving from Nashville into a home I own in AL, and you can find me crappie gishing on Weiss Lake.

Oh like a tax cut?
Except one you don't have to actually work for... sounds great for the economy

Apparently we flirt with this idea every 40 years or so. It was studied in the 70s, and it didn’t work, and probably for the reason that you would imagine.
Without the need to work, many people didn’t work. Or, simply worked less.
