Thank you :)

What is neovim?

I thought you were done participating/contributing to the Lemmy side of things?

Holy fuck buddy, you need to log off and go outside.

Can’t look cool wearing warm clothes at the bus stop. 🤪

This shit is embarrassing.

Okay so, there are a bunch of different agencies in charge of different types of social services. If you have UBI, those are no longer required. The money is coming from those programs. You spend LESS because you don’t have a giant work force on the back end of all those services/agencies anymore.

Eg. current: 20 departments, 100 people working at each. Gives out 1 million dollars a year in social services.

UBI: 1 department. Far less than the total of above working for it. Gives out 1 million dollars a year in social services.

See? The numbers are fluff just for the sake of the example.

Because it is so expensive to just live, people’s time is extremely limited. I don’t blame people that take care of their wants in that limited time off.

Like many people have already posted, if you didn’t spend all that mental (and physical) energy just scraping by, you will most likely have energy (and motivation) to take care of your health better.

That and it seems like everyone has depression or some sort of mental health ailment these days due to all the stresses that come with being poor.

No. It’s overwhelmingly a positive outcome.

Also, a fair bit of work is work for the sake of work. It doesn’t enrich society, just the capitalism machine. So if UBI were enacted on a large scale, there is plenty of unnecessary work that can go by the wayside.

How many times does Meta have to show you who they are before you start paying attention?

Doesn’t the smell bother you?

UBI would be a step towards something better.

The part about gen Z men has been true for every generation’s men.

Thanks for announcing your single digit IQ on this topic so everyone is aware. Excellent work.

Nah you just can’t take the blow to your ego that you’re wrong. But that’s fine. You’re only human.

It will still get done.

Sigh. Read up on the programs already studied.

There you go showing the class that you DIDNT do your homework.

There has been UBI implemented for studies in multiple countries around the world and overwhelmingly they show that people still choose to work.

Fuck off back your conservative bubble.

You clearly haven’t. People don’t just sit at home and collect UBI. People are clearly addicted to consumerism, and that requires having a job. People also enjoy working.

You don’t have a critical mind and you aren’t discussing this in good faith because you clearly think if UBI was enacted that people would all become lazy and sit and home and do nothing. That you think this way shows everyone that you HAVENT done any research or reading on UBI.
