RE: Universal Basic Income.

in #discussion7 years ago (edited)

There's essentially only two ways to pay for things.
This is a thought I had a few days ago.
Work and the products of such, and sex.
Prostitution is illegal most places, yeah disease morality all of that; no, no trickin' is illegal because it cheapens, as well as cheats decent hard work.
Now you can say that that's work too and I'll give a little to that, but anyone willing to debase themselves for cash would probably do so just for popularity or fun.

Now back to the UBI more currency at less work; it's as simple as that. Businesses in places like Seattle are folding under the fight for fifteen, this is even after layoffs and people being expected to do the work of at least two or more people.
Some of these people loosing their jobs were already making $11-12/hour but now their out a job because someone demanded more for less.

If you want more, get more marketable skills, get an actual education, or simply move on to something else; I'm sorry but flipping burgers at McDonalds isn't worth 15

Anyway my keyboard's messing up and this is one quagmire I won't get sucked any further into.
