They love spending OTHER PEOPLE’s money..... Where in heck do these idiots think the ‘basic substantial income is going to come from?” Morons each and every one
Screw that man. Quit your job, ride the gravy train, but...pst...buy some ammo on the way.
She doesn’t live here anymore!
It's really the same thing as when they promise free government healthcare . What you get is crap like the VA or worse . government healthcare sucks. and you'd get really much better healthcare in a free market without all these government regulations as you'd have more innovation , lower costs and choice and competition. but they lure idiots in with the promise of something “free” . so they think I won't have to pay for healthcare but you get put in some waiting list and some gov bureaucrat decides what inefficient treatment you get from an unaccountable doctor . so it's better to pay for it as you'd have choice. it's as if you went to socialism in electronics and the government made smart phones and told you what you could get . and of courser they'd say it's free .but you know what hell that would be , no choice , no freedom, web sites only approved by gov , ridiculous phones that won't work etc. so it's better to pay for health insurance and a smart phone than to get it free from these idiot socialists. even more general socialism magnifies the hell by a thousand times than these specific examples show. in short you get what you pay for.
The “Tech Elite”, just like the NYC/Bos/DC Elites, have to tow the liberal line, if they want continued access to ALL OF THAT MONEY...
Don’t play along, say something impolitic, and you’ll be cut off from those fancy yacht gay-orgy-with-kids parties, and the venture capitalists that go to them.
If such an idea could work, there would be no laws against counterfeiting.
Capitalism is based on symbolic bartering. Instead of trading a chicken for two loaves of bread, I pay money for the bread, and sell the chicken for money. That way, you aren’t stuck with a chicken and you have money that you can trade for something else.
Thus, the money is a proxy for the goods and services that would change hands in bartering, and its value is extrinsic. Giving money to non-producers sets the value of that money at zero, since it represents nothing.
We don’t have these magic robots yet so where will houses come from? Where will food come from?
We already have a “basic income”. It is called WELFARE. If we didn’t have a “basic income” kids would be on the streets starving...but they are not.
Now there’s A REASON why we have food stamps, WIC, Section 8, and other non-cash programs...and that is because the parents will blow the money on drugs, booze, and lottery tickets...to the point of their kids starving on the streets.
So, if the techies think that handing WADS OF CASH to these people is best, I suggest they try doing so and seeing what happens...as I guess they are simply UNABLE to understand it any other way.
That is communism and we all know how successful that was in the USSRussia.
neighborhoods with roving gangs of feral yout...
Arm the Armless!
Evidence for your bold assertion? That, in America, without welfare, children would be starving in the streets? Is that the way things were before the advent of welfare?

Oh God.
I was depressed enough already.
I better get off the internet.
inner cities of detroit , camden, New Orleans, housing projects of Chicago, Cuba , Old soviet Union, N korea, the killing fields of cambodia ; they all got a basic income .It's called marxism and they are just decieving calling it by another name basic income and saying the silicon idols support and libertarians support it so that we think we should too. it is collectivism= marxism = socialism = central planning. it's always failed and always will . they always promise utopia “no one will have to work” everything is free, free healthcare (obamacare) , free housing(projects). yeah right it's slavery and evil. These socialists want to keep you small so they promise you a basic income . when anyone can be a millionaire in the capitalist system if they work hard ,be frugal, invest . investing money every day for 40 years compounding that money anyone can be a millionaire.they don't want you free and to think for yourself and to be independent. they are collectivists
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can exist only until voters discover that they can vote themselves largesses from the public treasury. From that time on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.
"The average age of the world's great civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependency; from dependency back again to bondage."
