A universal basic income, combined with a job guarantee and other social programs, could make participation in the labor force truly voluntary, thereby enabling people to get a life....................We're heading in that direction if we keep electing people like Obama

The only field in which Rollong Stone has less credibility than economics is music.

Kind of difficult, since we don't have capitalism.

What we have is crony fascism.

America is based on Liberty.

Not womb to the tomb statism.

The easiest and most direct solution is for the government to guarantee that everyone who wants to contribute productively to society is able to earn a decent living in the public sector...

Of course the author misses the point that when someone
doesn’t want to contribute to society, they will be
FORCED to contribute, and not necessarily in the work
of their choice, OR the location of their choice.
Do they think they can just pack up and move anywhere?
Sorry not allowed.

Under socialism, there will be no private corporations with the cash to purchase advertising in washed-up glossy magazines about pop music. In fact, there won't be much pop music to write about. Not that the proletariat class would have the money to purchase such glossy magazines in the first place.

Under socialism, the headquarters of Rolling Stone will look something like this...

If these rolling stoners love socialism so much, why don’t they give away this rag of a paper for free?

If you want to live in a socialist country pick one and go; there is nothing stopping you!

I have that as a bumper sticker; but it is mostly images - causes them to have to think. Libs are not used to doing that.

Hey, I have an idea, let’s change Rolling Stone into a Rock and Roll magazine! Wow, I think I just hit on something brilliant!

We kind of already have. I would call it the fascist version of socialism.

That isn’t an article, it’s a stoned dorm room conversation. “Share the land, man.” Right. Get out your farming tools, sonny.
