    No, it’s a valid concern that MUST be addressed by any UBI plan. If it is ONLY giving people money, there is quite literally NOTHING STOPPING THEM from making the extra income moot.

    The fact you do not understand that is fucking pathetic. They’re not saying the plan is useless. They’re saying the plain, basic concept has some blind spots that would have to be addressed in any legislation. You CANNOT “simply give people money” to fix the economy. Period. Ever.

      So you can insult and call me pathetic all you want. It doesn’t really help your argument.

      How do you address the fact that every other time someone has claimed the same thing about any systemic economic change ruining the economy they have been proven wrong?

      [Edit]Oh I didn’t read usernames before replying. I should know better than to expect anything other than insults and boring old tropes from you.

      Fuck off.

        Boo. I am in favour of UBI but I would like to disavow this line of reasoning. “You must be wrong because people like you have been wrong in the past” is just ad hominem with extra steps.

        No one has been proven wrong about anarchy because it has quite literally never existed in recorded history. Holy fuck your confidance in ignorance truly is pathetic.

        I only say the basics because you goons still don’t understand the basics.
