The day universal income becomes a real thing is the day I'm giving my employer my two weeks notice.

Are you prepared to see people starving in the streets? The only way it works is if we truly cut everything else off. When they irresponsible spend all their UBI on hookers and blow, then waste the rest of it instead of buying groceries for their kids and paying their rent... what happens?


The same thing that happens now. The liberals will push for a means tested UBI increases and the bleeding hearts will agree. Opponents will be labeled as racists.

The key, as unlikely as it may be, is to get rid of the entire welfare state.


So, you're telling me that the way to get rid of the welfare state is to give everybody a check for doing nothing? By the way, where is the government going to get all this money from? We're $20 trillion in debt already.
