By the time you'll be replaced, we'll have UBI, so you shouldn't worry too much

What's an UBI?

Universal Basic Income.

When everyone regardless of their socioeconomic status gets a no strings attached stipend from the government.

it so funny that people actually think there would be UBI. But some people believe in santa claus, god & eastern bunny, so it shouldn't be a surprise.

UBI has failed everywhere it has been tested…don’t hold your breath.

Links to back this up? What I’ve read has suggested otherwise.

This is how people have discussions. :) you must be living in misery.

Edit: thanks for googling it for me. You’re so helpful.

So show me your ‘readings’ that UBI has worked, where has it been active for 5 years straight? Answer, no where.

Again, miserable human being incapable of being asked a simple question without generating conflict and an overall unpleasant experience. Why are you so unlovable?

LOL, snowflake that can’t take being called out for being wrong. Why are you so thin skinned?

Deflect all you want. I don’t mind. All you had to do was link me to one article that you enjoyed instead of generating an unpleasant experience for no reason. I could do the same thing, google “UBI successes” and link you to it but that’s not helpful as I’m not invested in the google search, but rather, specific readings that have informed my worldview. At this point I’m done engaging with you. It’s clear you have bigger emotional and mental handicaps that prevent you from having mature, reasonable conversations grounded in trying to understand your community member’s perspectives. I hope the new year brings you a sense of meaning and, perhaps, some manners.

LOL I linked you a dozen articles describing the failures. If you are too lazy to read them, that’s on you. Keep spouting your erroneous view that ‘UBI is a success’ and you will keep running into people like me pointing out you are wrong. Stop being wrong, then you won’t get your feelings hurt anymore.

Hey, you both. Stop arguing and hug each other. Now! Or no more desert this week.
