I’d rather not be beholden to the government for my livelihood at all, thank you. That’s how one becomes a slave to the state.

What do you think this UBI would become?? Much like SS, Medicare/Aid, et al. People are not entitled to my fricking money to prop to their own lives. They did not put in the work that I did to earn what little money I do make and I refuse to go groveling to the government like a fricking dog saying “please sir, may I have some more?” Each month, I have a little more pride in myself than that.

Credit is a liability, not an asset. Quite the opposite of liquid savings or investment accounts.

Most Americans are such losers. Sad.

If you get let go today and star looking for a job tomorrow, you have a problem

Lol. Credit is a tool. It is certainly not a liability.

With automation and globalization, soem form of UBI will be a necessity in our lifetime. There’s no doubt about that.

I’m not sure how one has to do with the other. We’re not speaking about anything that has anything to do with marijuana so I’m not sure why you even brought it up in here.

You think that all the politicians and bureaucrats that depend on those agencies for jobs and patronage and political support will sit by and watch them be eliminated? That’s cute.

You must not be an accountant. Credit is a liability on the balance sheet.


quote:

Liabilities
Liabilities are the money that a company owes to outside parties, from bills it has to pay to suppliers to interest on bonds it has issued to creditors to rent, utilities and salaries. Current liabilities are those that are due within one year and are listed in order of their due date. Long-term liabilities are due at any point after one year.

Current liabilities accounts might include:

current portion of long-term debt
bank indebtedness
interest payable
rent, tax, utilities
wages payable
customer prepayments
dividends payable and others
earned and unearned premiums
Long-term liabilities can include:

Long-term debt: interest and principal on bonds issued
Pension fund liability: the money a company is required to pay into its employees' retirement accounts
Deferred tax liability: taxes that have been accrued but will not be paid for another year (Besides timing, this figure reconciles differences between requirements for financial reporting and the way tax is assessed, such as depreciation calculations.)
Some liabilities are considered off the balance sheet, meaning that they will not appear on the balance sheet.

About 1/3 of the population is 24 years old or younger, and I expect a very small percentage of them to have significant savings. That’s a big chunk of the total, and if a writer is trying to sell the leftist slant they’ll omit details like that.

Hence the word “new”

Taking out loans against your 401k is kind of different than a standard home equity line. It’s like borrowing money from myself.

The study breaks down savings by age and the numbers don’t change that much from 18 - old age
